In short: a Chinese checkup report opens with a summary conclusion written by the chief checkup doctor and a numbered list of abnormal findings with advice, followed by every test result with its reference range and the written reports for each scan. It is issued in Chinese; we translate it in full, keep every value and range as reported, and a doctor goes through it with you.
How the report is organised
| Section | Chinese heading | What it contains |
|---|---|---|
| Personal details | 基本信息 | Name, passport number, age, sex, checkup date, programme |
| Summary conclusion | 总检结论 | The chief checkup doctor's overall assessment |
| Abnormal findings and advice | 异常结果及建议 | A numbered list of everything outside the normal range, each with advice such as "recheck in 3 months" or "see a specialist" |
| Physical examination | 一般检查 / 内科 / 外科 | Height, weight, blood pressure and the doctors' examination notes |
| Laboratory results | 实验室检查 | Blood count, liver and kidney function, blood sugar, cholesterol, tumour markers and others, each with value, unit, reference range and an arrow for high or low |
| Imaging and function tests | 影像 / 功能检查 | Written reports for ultrasound, X-ray, CT, MRI and ECG: what was seen and the radiologist's impression |
| Endoscopy and pathology | 内镜 / 病理 | If included: endoscopy findings and, later, biopsy results |
How to read the results
- Start with the summary and the abnormal findings list: that is where the doctor tells you what matters and what to do next.
- Arrows and ranges: ↑ means above the reference range, ↓ below. A value slightly outside the range is often not significant on its own; the doctor's advice tells you whether it needs follow-up.
- Units: Chinese reports use international (SI) units, such as mmol/L for blood sugar and cholesterol. If your doctor at home uses mg/dL, the numbers look different but mean the same.
- Imaging wording: terms such as "small nodule" or "cyst" are common and often benign; the radiologist's impression and the doctor's advice say whether anything needs a further look.
