What’s Included in a Full Body Check-Up in Bali | Tests Explained
What’s
Included in a Bali Full-Body Health Check-Up
A full-body check-up in Bali typically includes blood panels
(complete blood count, metabolic, lipids, HbA1c, liver, kidney and
thyroid), a urinalysis, cardiac testing (ECG and sometimes
echocardiogram), imaging (chest X-ray and abdominal ultrasound),
selected tumour markers, and a doctor’s consultation to interpret
everything. Each test screens a different system, and together
they build a picture of your overall health. This page explains, in
plain English for non-doctors, what every component looks for and why
it’s there — so you understand your package before you book and your
report after.
Remember: these tests screen for risk. They flag what may
need a closer look; only a doctor can diagnose or treat a condition.

Blood Panels — the Core
of Any Check-Up
A single blood draw supplies most of the information in a
check-up.
Complete Blood Count (CBC)
Measures red cells, white cells and platelets. It screens for
anaemia, infection and clotting issues, and can hint at
broader problems worth investigating.
Metabolic
panel (glucose, electrolytes, liver, kidney)
- Fasting glucose and HbA1c screen
for diabetes and prediabetes — HbA1c reflects your
average blood sugar over ~3 months. - Liver enzymes (ALT, AST) and kidney
markers (creatinine, urea) screen for organ stress or
damage, often before you feel anything.
Lipid (cholesterol) profile
Total cholesterol, LDL (“bad”), HDL (“good”) and triglycerides — a
key measure of cardiovascular risk. High LDL is one of
the most common silent findings in otherwise healthy travellers.
Thyroid panel
TSH and related markers screen for an under- or over-active
thyroid, which affects energy, weight and mood.
For how to make sense of these numbers afterwards, our blog explains
how to read
your blood test results in plain English.
Urinalysis
A simple urine test screens for kidney disease, urinary-tract
infection, diabetes and dehydration by checking for protein,
glucose, blood and infection markers. It is quick, non-invasive and
surprisingly informative.
Cardiac Testing
Resting ECG
(electrocardiogram)
Records your heart’s electrical activity to screen for
arrhythmias, conduction problems and signs of past
strain. Standard in every tier.
Echocardiogram
An ultrasound of the heart (executive and deluxe tiers) that shows
chamber size, valve function and pumping strength —
useful for spotting structural issues an ECG can miss.
Treadmill stress test
Monitors your heart under exertion (deluxe tier) to screen for
exercise-induced reduced blood flow. Recommended where
cardiac risk is higher.
Heart-focused screening is covered in depth on our specialty screening
page.
Imaging
Chest X-ray
A standard image screening the lungs and heart
silhouette for obvious abnormalities — and often required for
visa medicals.
Abdominal ultrasound
A painless scan of the liver, gallbladder, kidneys, pancreas
and spleen (executive and deluxe tiers), good at spotting
cysts, stones, fatty liver and other structural changes.
Advanced imaging
Deluxe packages may add carotid Doppler (stroke-risk
artery screening) or bone-density scanning, depending
on your risk profile.
Tumour Markers &
Cancer Early-Detection
Selected tumour markers (blood proteins that can be
elevated in certain cancers) appear in executive and deluxe tiers — for
example PSA for prostate, CA-125, CEA or AFP. These are
screening aids, not diagnoses: a raised marker is a
prompt to see a doctor, not a verdict, and a normal marker does not rule
cancer out. We explain the nuance — and when these tests genuinely help
— on our specialty screening
page and in our blog on cancer early-detection
tests.
The Doctor’s Consultation
The most valuable component isn’t a machine — it’s the
results consultation, where a doctor reviews everything
together, explains what’s normal and what isn’t, and tells you whether
anything needs follow-up. Numbers without interpretation can mislead;
this step turns your results into a plan.
How These Tests Map to
Packages
Not every test is in every tier. Basic covers the essentials;
executive adds HbA1c, thyroid, ultrasound, echo and selected markers;
deluxe adds advanced imaging, stress testing and broader panels. See the
full packages comparison
to match tests to tiers, and the cost guide for prices.

Frequently Asked Questions
What blood tests are included in a Bali full-body
check-up? Typically a complete blood count, fasting glucose and
HbA1c, a full lipid profile, liver and kidney function, and a thyroid
panel — with tumour markers added in higher tiers.
What does an ultrasound check in a full-body
check-up? An abdominal ultrasound examines the liver,
gallbladder, kidneys, pancreas and spleen for structural changes such as
cysts, stones or fatty liver.
Are cancer tests reliable in a check-up? Tumour
markers are screening aids, not diagnoses. A raised marker prompts
further review by a doctor; a normal result does not rule cancer out.
They are most useful alongside imaging and clinical judgement.
Do I need every test listed? No. A good package is
matched to your age and risk. Tell us your details and we’ll help you
avoid unnecessary tests.
Who explains my results? An English-speaking doctor
reviews your full results with you in a consultation, and you receive a
written, GP-ready report.
