Tests by Health Risks
At Scan Diagnostic Laboratory, our tests-by-health-risks framework is designed to pinpoint the specific risks that can impact your well-being. We understand that health risks—ranging from cardiovascular and metabolic disorders to oncological and infectious diseases—require specialized diagnostic tools to detect early warning signs and underlying issues.
Our comprehensive mapping of tests by health risks means that whether you're concerned about diabetes, high cholesterol, cancer, or immune deficiencies, we have tailored panels and screenings to address those specific challenges. For example, tests such as lipid profiles and glucose tolerance tests are aligned with assessing cardiovascular and metabolic risks, while tumor markers and genetic screenings help evaluate cancer risks. This approach ensures early detection, accurate diagnosis, and personalized treatment strategies.
By leveraging the latest diagnostic technology and integrating our expertise in health risk assessment, we empower healthcare professionals to make informed decisions and provide targeted care. At Scan Diagnostic Laboratory, our commitment to mapping tests by health risks helps streamline the diagnostic process, reduce uncertainty, and ultimately guide you toward a healthier future.
Accidents & Falls
Leading cause of injury, especially in the elderly, often resulting in fractures and disability.
Aging & Frailty
With age, physical strength and immunity decline, increasing risk of chronic diseases and falls.
Air Pollution Exposure
Inhalation of polluted air can damage lungs, worsen asthma, and raise heart disease risk.
Alcohol Consumption
Excessive drinking harms liver, heart, and brain; increases risk of addiction and cancer.
Antibiotic Resistance
Overuse of antibiotics makes infections harder to treat, posing a global health threat.
Autoimmune Disorders
The immune system attacks the body, leading to chronic, sometimes disabling conditions.
Cancer Risk
Genetics, environment, and lifestyle contribute to cancer; early detection greatly improves outcomes.
Childhood Malnutrition
Poor childhood nutrition stunts growth and development, causing lasting health problems.
Chronic Inflammation
Persistent inflammation is linked to heart disease, diabetes, and autoimmune conditions.
Chronic Stress
Long-term stress impacts mental and physical health, increasing risk of heart disease and depression.
Climate Change Health Effects
Climate change increases disease risk and heat-related health issues
Dehydration
Lack of fluids affects energy, concentration, kidney function, and can become life-threatening.
Depression & Anxiety
Mental health disorders affecting mood, sleep, appetite, and overall quality of life.
Diabetes Risk
Uncontrolled blood sugar leads to organ damage; early screening can help prevent complications.
Drug Abuse
Misuse of drugs affects brain function, behavior, and increases risk of overdose and death.
Drug Interactions & Overuse
Mixing medications or excessive use can cause serious side effects and reduce effectiveness.
Excessive Sugar Consumption
Too much sugar contributes to obesity, diabetes, and heart disease; moderation is key.
Exposure to Heavy Metals
Metals like lead and mercury harm the brain, kidneys, and development, especially in children.
Family History of Disease
Genetic factors influence risk for conditions like cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.
Food Contamination & Poisoning
Ingesting contaminated food leads to nausea, diarrhea, and sometimes severe illness or hospitalization.
Gastrointestinal Disorders
Includes IBS, ulcers, and infections; symptoms can affect digestion and nutrient absorption.
Genetic Disorders
Inherited conditions caused by DNA mutations; may require lifelong care or early intervention.
Hearing Damage from Loud Noise
Continuous loud noise damages hearing; hearing loss is often irreversible without protection.
Hearing Loss Risk
May be caused by age, noise, infection, or injury—early detection can preserve function.
Heart Disease Risk
High blood pressure, cholesterol, and lifestyle factors contribute to this leading cause of death.
High Blood Pressure
Often symptomless, but increases risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage.
High Cholesterol
Leads to plaque buildup in arteries, raising the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Hormonal Imbalances
Affects metabolism, mood, and reproductive health; often linked to thyroid or adrenal disorders.
Inadequate Hygiene
Poor hygiene promotes infection spread and increases risk of illness, especially in children.
Infectious Diseases
Caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites—can spread quickly and may be preventable by vaccines.
Kidney Disease Risk
Chronic kidney disease often shows no symptoms until advanced; early screening is essential.
Liver Disease Risk
Includes hepatitis, fatty liver, and cirrhosis; linked to alcohol, obesity, and infections.
Mental Health Disorders
Affects mood, behavior, and thinking—early support leads to better outcomes.
Neurological Disorders
Includes epilepsy, Parkinson’s, and MS; affects brain and nerve function, often progressively.
Occupational Hazards
Workplace exposures to chemicals, noise, or repetitive stress can lead to chronic illness.
Osteoporosis Risk
Bones become weak and fragile; often affects postmenopausal women and older adults.
Pesticide & Chemical Exposure
Long-term exposure may harm hormones, nerves, reproduction, and raise cancer risk.
Poor Healthcare Access
Limited access to care increases the risk of untreated illnesses and poorer health outcomes.
Prenatal Health Risks
Inadequate care during pregnancy can affect both maternal health and fetal development.
Radiation Exposure
High doses or chronic low-level exposure can increase cancer risk and harm internal organs.
Respiratory Diseases
Affect breathing and lung function; often triggered by allergens, pollution, or infections.
Sedentary Lifestyle
Lack of physical activity raises risk for obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases.
Sleep Deprivation
Poor sleep affects immunity, mood, memory, and increases risk of chronic illnesses.
Smoking
Major cause of cancer, lung disease, and heart disease—quitting significantly improves health.
Stroke Risk
Caused by interrupted blood flow to the brain; can lead to long-term disability.
Substance Dependency
Addiction to drugs or alcohol alters brain chemistry and leads to severe health issues.
Unsafe Sexual Practices
Raises risk of STIs, unplanned pregnancies, and reproductive health issues.
Vision Impairment Risk
Caused by age, disease, or injury; early detection can preserve vision.
Vitamin Deficiencies
Lack of vitamins like D, B12, or iron leads to fatigue, bone issues, or anemia.
Weakened Immunity
Reduced ability to fight infections, often due to age, illness, or poor nutrition.
Workplace Injuries
From falls to chemical exposure, workplace accidents can lead to long-term disability.
