We at Pro Sports medicine understand it’s the fine margins that make the difference to athletic performance. We offer specific well-athlete clinics that expose our patients to the level of physical examination and blood profiling that is offered at the top level of sport. A physical and biochemical examination of the athlete ensures there are no deficiencies or hormonal imbalances that would effect athletic performance.
The well athlete assessment includes physical examination by the sports doctor and testing of the athlete’s blood for the following markers depending on individual need:
- Full blood count – Haemoglobin, white cell counts, platelets, iron
- Liver function – proteins, globulins, liver enzymes, bilirubin
- Renal function – sodium, potassium, urea, creatinine
- Thyroid function – TSH, T4
- Hormone function – testosterone, oestrogen, prolactin, growth hormone
- Vitamins and minerals – Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, folate
- Bone profile – Calcium, Phosphate
- Lipid profile – cholesterol, HDL, LDL
- Prostate profile – PSA
- Menopause profile – oestrogen, LH, FSH
- Diabetes screen – glucose, Hba1c
A bespoke package of the above can be arranged based on the athlete’s needs.
