Lung health concerns
For anyone with questions about their lung or respiratory health who would rather have clear answers.
A doctor-led specialist assessment at one of Shanghai's leading international hospitals. A detailed evaluation of your lungs, breathing and wider respiratory health, with your results explained to you in person.
Yet for many people, respiratory health is only investigated once breathing problems or persistent symptoms begin.
The Respiratory Health Assessment has been specifically designed to provide a detailed evaluation of lung and respiratory health, combining pulmonary function testing, chest CT imaging, cardiovascular assessment, advanced inflammatory and immune testing and extensive laboratory analysis. This is not simply a general health check. It is a focused assessment designed to provide greater insight into your lungs, breathing and wider respiratory health.
Every part of the assessment is performed by experienced physicians using advanced diagnostic technology, and nothing is left for you to interpret alone.
Your assessment begins with a physician-led medical examination. The foundation everything else builds on.
View full examination listEvery Respiratory Health Assessment begins with a thorough medical examination, led in person by an experienced physician. It covers the essentials properly – from blood pressure and BMI to dedicated chest, lung and cardiovascular examinations – and sets the baseline that every other part of your assessment builds on.
The central focus of this specialist assessment, examining how effectively your lungs are working in significant detail.
View full test listThis is the heart of the assessment. Comprehensive pulmonary function testing measures how effectively your lungs move and exchange air, while a chest CT scan looks directly at the lungs themselves – together with a physician-led lung examination, building a detailed picture of your respiratory health.
Heart and lung health are closely connected. Important information on the function of your heart and circulatory system.
View full test listYour heart and lungs work as one system, so a proper respiratory assessment looks at both. An ECG and echocardiography examine the heart directly, while cardiovascular biomarkers – including NT-proBNP and high-sensitivity CRP – add important information on the function of your heart and circulatory system.
Additional imaging provides further insight into your circulation and cardiovascular health.
View full imaging listUltrasound imaging adds another layer of insight beyond the chest itself. Arterial ultrasound of both lower limbs examines your circulation, while comprehensive echocardiography looks in detail at the structure and function of your heart – both reviewed by experienced physicians alongside your wider results.
A detailed blood assessment providing insight into overall health and identifying potential abnormalities requiring further investigation.
View full test listA detailed blood assessment looks beyond the lungs at your health as a whole. From a complete blood count to cardiovascular biomarkers, inflammatory markers and immune testing, every result is reviewed by a physician – and anything requiring further investigation is identified and explained.
Respiratory health can be closely associated with inflammatory and immune responses. This evaluates both in detail.
View full test listInflammation and immune activity can play a significant role in respiratory health. This panel examines both in detail – from classic inflammatory markers to a wide range of antibody testing – giving your physician a much fuller picture of what may be influencing your lungs and airways.
An extensive allergen panel that may help physicians identify potential allergic sensitivities relevant to respiratory health.
View full test listAllergic sensitivities are a common thread in respiratory symptoms, and they often go unidentified for years. An extensive panel covering 29 food and inhaled allergens may help your physician identify sensitivities relevant to your respiratory health – and explain exactly what they mean for you.
An extensive tumour marker panel, interpreted by physicians alongside CT imaging and wider findings, never used alone to diagnose cancer.
View marker examplesAn extensive panel of tumour markers is included as standard. These blood tests are interpreted by experienced physicians alongside your CT imaging and wider findings – they are never used alone to diagnose cancer, but they add valuable information to the overall picture of your health.
Additional antibody screening providing further information for physician review as part of the wider health assessment.
View full test listEpstein-Barr virus antibody screening adds a further layer of information to your assessment. Three separate antibody tests are included, each reviewed by your physician as part of the wider picture of your health – with anything notable explained to you in person.
A detailed evaluation of how your blood clots, providing important additional information for physician review.
View full test listHow your blood clots matters more to respiratory and cardiovascular health than most people realise. A detailed coagulation panel – from prothrombin time to D-Dimer related assessment – provides important additional information, reviewed by your physician alongside your wider results.
