Check-up “Healthy child” makes it possible to:
- assess the physical and neuropsychic development of the child;
- promptly identify the early stages of the development of general pathology (anemia, chronic colitis, gastritis, goiter, etc.);
- identify violations of sexual development in adolescents;
- promptly identify the early stages of development of ophthalmic pathology;
- identify the cause of malaise, constant fatigue;
- prevent visual acuity reduction;
- create optimal conditions for the functioning of the visual analyzer, evaluate its functionality;
- identify diseases of the organ of vision in the early stages;
- achieve optimal vision correction;
- timely identify the early stages of development of various pathologies (cardiovascular, renal, endocrine, neurological, etc.);
- choose an individual plan of preventive measures.

Program content:
Consultation by a specialist:
- pediatrician (supervising the entire program and providing an opinion on the results);
- endocrinologist;
- neurologist;
- dentist, and
- primary examination by an ophthalmologist (includes the following studies: visual acuity, autorefractometry, selection of glasses, non-contact tonometry, biomicroscopy, non-contact eye ground examination, Amsler test).
Surveys:
- anthropometry (height, weight, blood pressure, pulse, ratio of fat and muscle mass, body mass index);
- visual acuity (without correction; with correction)
- size and structure of the eye;
- curvature of the cornea;
- intraocular pressure;
- cross eyes, astigmatism, eye refraction, binocular functions.
Analyses:
- complete analysis of blood and urine (determination of changes in quantitative and qualitative indicators of the composition of blood and urine helps to assess the general condition of the body and identify the presence of acute and chronic diseases;
- analysis of feces (for eggs of worms);
- glucose (shows the level of sugar at the time of blood sampling);
- glycated hemoglobin (its concentration reflects the average sugar content in retrospect – over the past 3 months. Together, these indicators help to identify elevated sugar levels (pre-diabetes) and diabetes at an early stage, as well as monitor the effectiveness of treatment);
- creatinine (formed in the muscles and then released into the blood. It is involved in the energy metabolism of muscle and other tissues. Creatinine is excreted from the body by the kidneys with urine, so it is an important indicator of kidney activity);
- a-amylase (determination of the activity of a-amylase in the blood is necessary for the diagnosis of inflammation of the salivary glands (mumps) and the pancreas (pancreatitis). Since the pancreas is the largest source of amylase in the body, its diseases cause a massive release of the enzyme into the blood );
- alkaline phosphatase (increased in diseases affecting the bile ducts, so this analysis helps to confirm or suggest blockage of the biliary tract with stones in the bile ducts. The analysis is performed in order to diagnose diseases affecting the biliary tract, and in children to detect a bend in the duct);
- C-reactive protein (used to diagnose acute infectious diseases and tumors, determine the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases);
- total immunoglobulin E (IgE) for allergy diagnostics;
- thyroid hormones free thyroxine T4, thyroid stimulating hormone TSH and thyroid peroxidase antibodies AB-TPO (the most important growth hormones that control the formation of energy in the human body, are responsible for the metabolism of fats and proteins. In addition, TSH regulates the flow of iodine into the thyroid gland and enhances lipolysis (the breakdown of fats into fatty acids).
AB-TPO is an indicator of the aggression of the immune system in relation to its own body, as well as the most sensitive test for detecting autoimmune thyroid disease).
Instrumental diagnostics:
- ECG electrocardiography (during the ECG, electrical impulses that occur in the heart are recorded. This information is recorded on special paper in the form of a special graph. Looking at it, the pediatrician can understand: is the heart rate and heart rhythm normal; are there any changes indicating the fact that the heart experiences oxygen starvation, that is, its blood supply is insufficient; is there hypertrophy (thickening) of certain parts of the heart);
- Ultrasound of the abdominal organs and kidneys (in real time shows information about the state of the abdominal organs: size, structure, contours, localization of the pancreas, gallbladder, spleen and liver)
- Ultrasound of the thyroid gland (shows in detail the contours and structure of the thyroid gland, the presence of formations and cysts. This study allows you to identify signs of autoimmune thyroiditis, diffuse toxic goiter, tumors of the thyroid gland and other pathologies).
