The commonest cause of a high blood calcium is a small overactive parathyroid gland, and it is surgically curable. Most cases are found by accident: where blood testing is routine, a raised calcium turns up on bloodwork taken for another reason. In one US health system, new cases ran 12 to 24 per 100,000 a year under 50, and 80 in women and 36 in men at 50 to 59. Calcium is in the Electrolytes category of the Baseline checkup in Korea ($299), and Liver Function supplies the albumin that adjusts it. Confirming it needs a PTH test the checkup does not include, and a raised result goes to a doctor.

Microscopic blood in the urine is usually not cancer. Across eleven recent studies in the AUA/SUFU 2020 guideline, urinary tract cancer was found in about 1% of cases (range 0.3% to 6.25%). The guideline defines it as more than 3 red blood cells per high-power field under the microscope, and a positive dipstick alone does not count. What happens next depends on your age and smoking history. Urinalysis in the Baseline checkup in Korea ($299) is an 11-marker panel with microscopy, the part the guideline says counts. A finding goes to a urologist, and the next tests, a bladder camera check and imaging, are not part of the checkup. Results take about 2 weeks.

Symptoms are the other half of the conversation. In Wu’s study of 3,369 European men aged 40–79, poor morning erections, low sexual desire and erectile dysfunction were the symptoms linked with low testosterone. If a result is low, a doctor can help decide whether a repeat measurement is useful. Hormone: Male: FSH+LH+Testosterone is one of the 24 test categories in the Baseline checkup in Korea ($299). Results take about 2 weeks.

AMH is the ovarian reserve marker, a count of the eggs in reserve. In the JAMA study of 750 women aged 30 to 44 with no history of infertility, trying to conceive naturally for three months or less, 84% of women with low AMH conceived within 12 cycles, against 75% with normal AMH. The difference was not significant, and FSH and inhibin B behaved the same way. AMH does help plan IVF stimulation, and the study says nothing about women being treated for infertility. You can add AMH ($89) at step 3 of the builder on top of the Baseline checkup in Korea ($299). It gives you your reserve, and any plan built on the number is a conversation with your doctor.

Gallstones are common in people who have never felt a thing. In US ultrasound data on 9,650 adults with no gallbladder symptoms, 8% of women and 6% of men had stones. A 2026 review of eight cohorts followed people with silent stones: by 15 years, 26% had developed symptoms (95% CI 12% to 40%), so most stayed quiet. The Baseline checkup in Korea ($299) includes an Ultrasound of the upper abdomen, thyroid, and prostate (men) or uterus (women), and the upper abdomen scan is where the gallbladder is read. A stone found this way is common and usually silent for life, and it is a conversation with your doctor, not a reason for surgery. Results take about 2 weeks.

In a US survey, only 5.0% of people were at risk of vitamin D deficiency, and the risk was highest at ages 20 to 39. One measurement tells you which group you’re in before you buy the bottle. If you want your own number, the Vitamin Panel (D + B12) is a $59 add-on at step 3 of the builder, on top of the Baseline checkup in Korea ($299). Vitamin D is not one of the Baseline’s 24 test categories. Results take about 2 weeks.

PSA is a blood test, and what it is worth depends on your age and on what you would do with the result. If you are weighing it, settle the plan first: would a raised number lead you to a biopsy? A raised PSA is a referral, not a diagnosis, and it opens a conversation with your doctor. PSA is part of the Tumor Markers category in the Baseline checkup in Korea ($299), included for men with nothing to add. Results take about 2 weeks.

Uric acid is the number behind gout, and it is already part of the Baseline checkup. The odds in the pooled ARIC, CARDIA and Framingham cohorts climbed from 0.59% to 12.22% across the range, yet most people at the top level still had no gout 15 years on. So one reading is a position, and a second reading at your next checkup shows which way it is moving. A raised result is a conversation with your doctor. Rheumatism & Gout (uric acid and rheumatoid factor) is one of the 24 test categories in the Baseline checkup in Korea, $299, with no add-on.

For a parent over 65, a stethoscope at a routine visit may not be the whole picture on the heart valves. In a Heart 2018 study, experienced primary care doctors listening caught 44% of significant valve disease in adults 65 and older. In OxVALVE (European Heart Journal, 2016), 2,500 UK patients with no known valve disease were all given an echocardiogram, and 6.4% had clinically significant disease nobody had found.

A checkup in Korea can add that look. Echocardiography is part of the Heart focus area, +$370 on the Baseline checkup ($299), alongside ApoB + Lipoprotein(a) and an arteriosclerosis check. A finding goes to a doctor to follow up.
