Look deeper into your digestive health.

Every Digestive Health Assessment begins with a thorough physical examination, led in person by an experienced physician at Shanghai International Medical Center. It covers the whole body properly – from blood pressure and BMI to specialist eye, ear, nose and throat checks – and sets the context every digestive finding is read against.

• Height, weight & Body Mass Index (BMI)
• Blood pressure & pulse rate
• Nutritional assessment
• General physical assessment
• Cardiovascular examination
• Chest & lung examination
• Abdominal examination
• Peripheral vascular assessment
• General surgical examination
• Skin assessment
• Lymph node examination
• Thyroid examination
• Breast examination
• Spine & joint examination
• Genitourinary assessment
• Eye & vision assessment
• Fundus examination
• Slit lamp examination
• Intraocular pressure assessment
• Ear, nose & throat examination

This is the heart of the assessment – direct visual examination of your digestive system, performed as painless gastroscopy and colonoscopy by experienced physicians. Rather than inferring from indirect tests alone, your oesophagus, stomach and colon are examined directly, so polyps and other changes can be identified and evaluated properly.

• Painless gastroscopy
• Painless colonoscopy
• Direct examination of the oesophagus & stomach
• Direct examination of the colon
• Identification of polyps & other changes for further evaluation

Helicobacter pylori is a common bacterium associated with several stomach-related conditions. Detecting it requires nothing more than a simple, non-invasive breath test – a few minutes of your visit, with no discomfort involved – and the result is interpreted alongside your gastroscopy findings.

• C13 Urea Breath Test

Some things a physical examination cannot see. Modern ultrasound imaging looks directly at the major abdominal organs – liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen and kidneys – so changes can be identified at the earliest possible stage and read alongside your endoscopy findings.

• Comprehensive abdominal ultrasound
• Liver
• Gallbladder
• Pancreas
• Spleen
• Kidneys

Cardiovascular problems rarely announce themselves early. A resting electrocardiogram, alongside blood pressure and heart-rate evaluation, provides important information on the function of your heart and circulatory system – identified before problems become symptoms.

• Resting Electrocardiogram (ECG)
• Blood pressure assessment
• Heart rate evaluation

A detailed panel of blood and laboratory tests examines how your body's major systems are functioning – from blood sugar and long-term glucose control to comprehensive liver and kidney function. More than twenty separate analyses, every one reviewed by a physician before it reaches you.

• Complete Blood Count
• Blood Glucose
• HbA1c
• Comprehensive Liver Function
• Total Protein
• Albumin
• Globulin
• Albumin to Globulin Ratio
• ALT
• AST
• GGT
• Alkaline Phosphatase
• Total Bilirubin
• Direct Bilirubin
• LDH
• Total Bile Acids
• Kidney Function
• Blood Urea Nitrogen
• Creatinine
• Uric Acid
• Urinalysis

An extensive panel of tumour markers is included, chosen with a particular focus on gastrointestinal health. No single marker tells the whole story – each one is interpreted by an experienced physician alongside your endoscopy, imaging and laboratory results, never in isolation.

• AFP
• CEA
• CA125
• CA72-4
• CA50
• CA242
• CA19-9
• Ferritin
• CYFRA21-1
• SCC
• Pepsinogen I & II
• Gastrin-17
• ProGRP related testing
• NSE
• TSGF

Bowel health is examined from more than one direction. Alongside your colonoscopy, stool analysis, quantitative occult blood testing and modern faecal DNA testing combine to give one of the most comprehensive pictures of bowel health available in a single assessment.

• Routine Stool Analysis
• Quantitative Faecal Occult Blood Testing
• Faecal DNA Testing

Additional blood screening covers the common hepatitis and infectious disease markers, rounding out the picture of your digestive and liver health. Every result is reviewed by a physician and explained to you in plain English.

• Hepatitis B Screening Panel
• Hepatitis C Antibody Testing
• Syphilis Screening
• HIV Screening

Before any endoscopic procedure, it matters to know how well your blood clots. A full coagulation panel is included as standard – an important part of preparing safely for your painless gastroscopy and colonoscopy.

• Prothrombin Time
• Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time
• Fibrinogen
• Thrombin-related coagulation assessment
• International Normalised Ratio

Numbers alone don't protect your health – understanding them does. Every assessment ends the same way: sitting down with an experienced physician who reviews your results with you in English, answers your questions, and leaves you with clear, practical next steps.

• Comprehensive health report – digital & printed
• In-person doctor consultation
• Personalised recommendations
• Clear next steps where needed
