Summary

Prof. Dr. med. Olivio Donati
Hello Tom,
Your recent health check-up provides a detailed overview of your health, showing some very positive developments alongside a few areas that warrant attention. The most notable findings are related to age-appropriate wear-and-tear in your spine. The MRI shows disc bulges in your neck and lower back, with one in your lower back causing a moderate narrowing of the spinal canal, which can sometimes affect nerves. Your blood tests indicate a persistent elevation in a type of white blood cell called eosinophils, which can be a sign of an allergic or inflammatory process, and may be linked to fluid seen in the air cells behind your ears. We also noted a mild reduction in your kidney filtration rate, which often varies and can be influenced by factors like hydration. On a very positive note, your results show excellent improvements in your metabolic health. Your blood sugar and cholesterol values are now in an ideal range, which is a wonderful achievement and greatly benefits your cardiovascular health. Furthermore, your body composition is outstanding, with very low levels of abdominal and liver fat. Other findings, such as small, simple cysts in your liver, are common and not a cause for concern. You will find more details on all these points in the full report below.

“Ahead’s MRI + blood test 👍👍
Flew to Zürich to get Ahead’s MRI + blood test. Both Ahead’s team and the partner’s were super professional, and guided me step-by-step through the experience.
The scan was short, blood draw uneventful, and I was in time to make my plane back. I really liked the report itself: simple to understand, with enough actual clinical depth.

How often should I get a preventive scan?
The recommended frequency for a preventive scan is typically every 1 to 2 years, but this will be personalized for you in your report.
General guidance is:
Low risk (e.g., under 40 years old with no major risk factors): Every 2 years.
Moderate risk (e.g., family history of certain conditions, age 40-60): Annually.
High risk (e.g., known genetic predispositions): A custom protocol will be advised, often involving scans every 6 to 12 months.
