Check-up «Stress Diagnosis» at Refresh Clinic Dubai

Check-up «Stress Diagnosis»

Chronic stress disrupts the balance between the hypothalamic-pituitary system and peripheral glands. This may manifest itself in the form of hormonal fluctuations, sleep disorders, menstrual irregularities, increased anxiety, changes in appetite and body weight. A check-up helps to identify functional and structural disorders associated with prolonged emotional or physical stress.

Assessing the impact of stress on hormonal levels

Diagnosis of sleep disorders, fatigue, anxiety

Identifying the causes of menstrual cycle failure, decreased libido

Monitoring the functioning of the pituitary gland and adrenal glands

Examination for suspected hormone-dependent metabolic disorders

Chronic fatigue, insomnia, decreased concentration

Emotional lability, anxiety, depression

Menstrual irregularities, decreased libido

Weight gain or sudden weight loss

Diagnosis of pituitary and adrenal disorders

Control of hormonal levels in stressful conditions or overwork

Programme components

Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)

Responsible for the functioning of the thyroid gland. Stimulates the production of thyroid hormones, which are involved in the regulation of metabolism, thermoregulation, heart rhythm and psychoemotional state. TSH changes reflect shifts in hormonal levels at the pituitary-thyroid gland level.

Include

Normal range: 0.4–4,0 mIU/l

Reasons for increased values: primary hypothyroidism, lithium intake, thyroiditis
Reasons for decreased values: thyrotoxicosis, pituitary insufficiency, thyroxine overdose

Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)

Determines the activity of the sex glands. In women, it affects follicle growth and the onset of the menstrual cycle. In men, it regulates spermatogenesis. Used to assess reproductive function and identify disorders in the hypothalamic-pituitary system.

Include

Normal range:

Women (follicular phase): 2.8–11.3 IU/l
Men: 1.5–12.4 IU/l

Reasons for increased values: menopause, primary ovarian or testicular failure
Reasons for decreased values: pituitary disorders, hyperprolactinemia, stress, obesity

Luteinizing hormone (LH)

Participates in the formation of ovulation in women and testosterone production in men. Together with FSH, it ensures the coordinated work of the reproductive system. Deviations in LH may indicate hormonal imbalances associated with stress or endocrine disorders.

Include

Normal range:

Women (follicular phase): 2.4–12.6 IU/l
Men: 1.7–8.6 IU/l

Reasons for increased values: menopause, polycystic ovary syndrome
Reasons for decreased values: central hypogonadism, hyperprolactinemia, stress

Prolactin

Responsible for milk secretion in the postpartum period and affects reproductive function. Associated with the body's response to stress, menstrual irregularities, decreased libido and infertility. Prolactin levels depend on the sleep phase, physical activity and emotional state.

Include

Normal range:

Women: 67–726 mIU/l
Men: 53–360 mIU/l

Reasons for increased values: physiological stress, prolactinoma, hypothyroidism
Reasons for decreased values: pituitary insufficiency, dopaminergic drug intake

Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1)

Involved in cell growth and restoration. Maintains muscle mass, participates in the regulation of carbohydrate and protein metabolism. IGF-1 activity is associated with growth hormone secretion and is used to assess its effect on tissues.

Include

Normal range:

Men: 80–290 ng/ml
Women: 90–360 ng/ml (depending on age)

Reasons for increased values: acromegaly, tumors, excess growth hormone
Reasons for decreased values: hypopituitarism, chronic diseases, protein deficiency

Cortisol in Serum

Regulates the body's response to stress. Affects glucose levels, blood pressure, immune processes and metabolism. Fluctuations in cortisol levels reflect the adaptive capabilities of the body and help to identify dysfunction of the adrenal glands.

Include

Normal range:

Morning (8:00 a.m.): 171–536 nmol/l
Evening (8:00 p.m.): 64–327 nmol/l

Reasons for increased values: acute stress, Cushing's syndrome, glucocorticoid intake
Reasons for decreased values: Addison's disease, hypopituitarism, hormone withdrawal
