Preventive laboratory screening for children aged 6 to 15 years
The Child (School-Age) Health Profile offered by Diagnostiki Athinon is a comprehensive and targeted laboratory panel designed for children between the ages of 6 and 15. During this critical developmental stage, regular health evaluations are essential for identifying early signs of nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, metabolic disturbances, or chronic inflammation that may affect growth, energy, immunity, or academic performance.
This check-up includes essential blood and urine tests that assess primary organ function, bone health, iron levels, metabolism, thyroid function, and immune system activity.

This panel is ideal for:
- Children aged 6–15, especially during annual health evaluations
- Children experiencing fatigue, poor appetite, or low energy
- Children with learning difficulties or poor concentration
- Children with a history of anemia, thyroid disorders, or infections
- Overweight children or those with risk factors for metabolic conditions
- All children before the start of the school year or athletic programs
