Gastrointestinal Examination & Diagnostic Testing – 35,000 SEK​

​

Physician Consultation & Comprehensive Abdominal Assessment

​

• Comprehensive physician examination including abdominal assessment and clinical evaluation

• Examination of the abdomen through palpation, listening, and physical assessment

• Palpation (Physical abdominal examination): The physician examines different areas of the abdomen to identify tenderness, tension, or unusual masses/lumps

• Auscultation (Listening): Bowel sounds are assessed to determine whether intestinal activity is normal, increased, or reduced

• Percussion: Gentle tapping of the abdomen helps evaluate gas accumulation or fluid presence

• Rectal examination (if required): A brief examination may be performed when necessary to rule out local abnormalities or bleeding
   

Advanced Laboratory Testing (Systemic Blood Profiling)

​

• Blood tests for inflammation, blood count, vitamin deficiencies, and nutrient absorption

• Screening for gluten intolerance (celiac disease) and lactose intolerance

• Liver and gallbladder tests, including Helicobacter screening for digestive symptoms

• Complete Blood Count (Hemoglobin – Hb): Evaluates signs of hidden blood loss or anemia

• CRP & ESR (Inflammation markers): Used to detect ongoing inflammation in the body, such as in conditions like Crohn's Disease or Ulcerative Colitis

• Transglutaminase Antibodies (Gluten test): Screens for antibodies associated with Celiac Disease

• Lactose Testing: Used to assess possible lactose intolerance

• Liver and Gallbladder Function Tests (ASAT, ALAT, ALP, Bilirubin): Helps determine whether symptoms originate from organs outside the digestive tract

• Ferritin & Vitamin B12: Evaluates nutrient absorption and potential deficiencies

• Helicobacter Testing: Performed in cases of upper abdominal discomfort or heartburn
   

Stool Analysis & Intestinal Health Screening
 

• Stool analysis for inflammation, hidden blood, bacteria, and parasites

• Fecal Calprotectin testing to investigate IBS and inflammatory bowel diseases

• Fecal Calprotectin: An effective marker used to measure inflammation directly in the intestines and distinguish between Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease

• Fecal Occult Blood Test (F-Hb): Checks for hidden blood in the stool

• Parasite Investigation: Microscopic analysis or PCR testing to identify parasites such as Giardia, Entamoeba, or intestinal worm infections

• Stool Culture: Used to detect harmful bacteria such as Salmonella or Campylobacter
   

Endoscopic Examination & Tissue Diagnostics

​

• Colonoscopy with the option for biopsy and polyp assessment

• Colonoscopy: The most comprehensive intestinal examination. A flexible camera tube is inserted through the colon, allowing direct visualization of the intestinal lining, collection of tissue samples (biopsies), and removal of polyps if necessary
   

Advanced Diagnostic Imaging & Supplementary Evaluations
 

• Gastroscopy for upper gastrointestinal symptoms such as heartburn or digestive issues

• Abdominal ultrasound when needed (additional cost applies)

• Gastroscopy: Recommended when symptoms involve the upper digestive tract, such as indigestion or heartburn

• Abdominal Ultrasound: Used to assess organs including the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas
