Triplex scanning of the vessels of the upper and lower extremities
An ultrasound technique that allows you to assess the condition of arteries and veins, as well as the features of blood flow in them. The study covers extracranial (neck, thoracic region) and intracranial (head) vessels, as well as vessels of the arms and legs.
Triplex scanning is necessary for the diagnosis and control of thrombosis, varicose veins, hypertension, atherosclerosis and angiopathy.
Special training is not required, but it is recommended to refrain from smoking, alcohol and tonic drinks on the eve of the procedure. If the patient is taking medications that affect vascular tone, it is important to inform the doctor about this.
The patient is placed on the couch in a sitting or lying position. The doctor applies a special gel to the skin to improve contact with the sensor. The scan is performed in three modes, so that the doctor evaluates the condition of blood vessels and blood flow characteristics. The patient may be asked to change their posture or hold their breath for accurate visualization.
Triplex scanning is performed using high-resolution ultrasound devices equipped with Doppler sensors and a color mapping function. These devices allow doctors to study arteries and veins in detail, as well as to study the features of blood flow in the vessels.
After the procedure, the patient can immediately return to the normal routine of the day. If necessary, the doctor will give recommendations for further examination or treatment.

SIBO breath test
The hydrogen-methane breath test is a noninvasive method of diagnosing small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). This test measures the concentration of hydrogen and methane in exhaled air after the patient ingests lactulose. This helps identify an imbalance in intestinal bacterial flora.
13C-urea breath test
13C-urea breath test is a painless, non-invasive method used to detect Helicobacter pylori infection in the stomach. It is based on the ability of H. pylori to break down urea using the enzyme urease.
Endoscopic removal of epithelial formations of the gastrointestinal tract (removal of polyps)
Most gastrointestinal polyps belong to precancerous conditions, and colon polyps are essentially the only way to develop cancer, therefore they require mandatory removal.
