What health tests should you take annually in Cyprus?

Essential Preventive Examinations
Regular medical check-ups help detect diseases at early stages when they are most treatable. What tests are recommended annually to monitor your health at medical centers in Cyprus?
1
Complete Blood Count (CBC)
This test measures hemoglobin levels, red and white blood cell counts, and platelets. It helps detect anemia, inflammatory processes, and potential infections.
2
Biochemical Blood Test
Evaluates the function of internal organs, including the liver, kidneys, and pancreas. Includes indicators such as:
  • Glucose (diabetes monitoring)
  • Cholesterol (assessing cardiovascular disease risk)
  • Liver enzymes (indicating liver function)
  • Creatinine and urea (assessing kidney function)
3
Urinalysis
Helps detect urinary tract infections, kidney diseases, and metabolic disorders.
4
Hormonal Profile (as needed)
  • TSH, T3, T4 (thyroid function assessment)
  • Sex hormones (for reproductive issues or menstrual cycle irregularities)
5
Vitamin and Mineral Levels
  • It is recommended to check levels of iron, ferritin, vitamins D and B12, especially if experiencing chronic fatigue, hair loss, or weakness. Vitamin D levels are particularly important for Cyprus residents, as excessive sun exposure can impact its balance.
6
Lipid Profile (Cholesterol and Its Fractions)
  • Helps assess the risk of atherosclerosis, stroke, and heart attack, which are common health concerns among Cyprus residents.
7
Glucose and Glycated Hemoglobin
  • Detects prediabetes and monitors blood sugar levels.
8
Infection Screening
  • HIV, Hepatitis B and C
  • TORCH infections (important for those planning pregnancy)
9
Ultrasound and Instrumental Examinations (based on age and health status)
  • Abdominal ultrasound
  • Mammography or breast ultrasound (for women over 40)
  • Electrocardiogram (ECG) for heart monitoring
  • Chest X-ray (every two years, or annually if risk factors are present)
10
Dermatologist Examination (for skin and mole check-ups)
  • Regular visits to a dermatologist help detect changes in moles and other skin conditions in time. This is especially crucial for Cyprus residents, as high sun exposure increases the risk of melanoma and other skin cancers.
11
Tumor Markers (as needed)
  • Ordered by a physician based on risk factors or family history of cancer.
