Digestive Check-up

A gastroenterological screening programme combining specialist consultation with abdominal ultrasound, virtual colonoscopy, FibroScan with SteatoScan liver assessment, and targeted blood work including tumour markers and iron metabolism studies.

Digestive conditions — from fatty liver disease and gallstones to colorectal abnormalities — are among the most common health issues in developed populations, yet they frequently progress silently. This programme targets the gastrointestinal tract and associated organs through a combination of imaging, liver elastography, and laboratory markers. Abdominal ultrasound provides a radiation-free overview of the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, and kidneys, identifying structural abnormalities, stones, and cysts. Virtual colonoscopy (CT colonography) screens the entire colon for polyps and masses without the invasiveness, preparation burden, or sedation required by conventional colonoscopy — making it a practical option for individuals who want bowel screening without an endoscopic procedure. The FibroScan with SteatoScan is a non-invasive liver assessment that measures both liver stiffness (indicating fibrosis) and steatosis (fat content). This combination is particularly relevant given the rising prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, which can progress to cirrhosis if undetected. It replaces the need for liver biopsy in many screening contexts. Blood work includes CEA (a tumour marker relevant to colorectal cancer), ferritin and transferrin (iron metabolism markers that may indicate chronic GI blood loss), and standard digestive function indicators. A specialist consultation integrates all findings and provides dietary or follow-up recommendations where appropriate.
