Ribs

The twelve pairs of ribs together form the rib cage, which protects vital organs such as the heart and lungs. The movement of the ribs enables inhalation and exhalation, and they can be affected by various types of injuries and pain conditions.

Quick version

What are the ribs?

The ribs are a series of curved bones that extend all the way from the spine to the breastbone on each side of the body. In total, we have twelve pairs of ribs that together form the rib cage and help protect vital organs such as the heart , lungs , and major blood vessels.

Function of the ribs

The ribs help maintain the shape of the chest and protect important organs from external injury. When we breathe, the ribs assist in adjusting lung volume by lifting and lowering.

Ribs consist of bone and cartilage

Each rib consists of a bony part and a cartilaginous part. The top seven pairs are attached to the breastbone via their cartilage, while the lower five are only partially attached or not at all. The two lowest ribs are commonly referred to as floating ribs.

Pain conditions and common diseases

There are several causes of rib pain. Common injuries or conditions include fractures, inflammation of the cartilage joint (costochondritis), overexertion, or nerve pain caused by pressure on the nerves.

Examination and diagnosis

An assessment of rib pain is made through medical history, clinical examination, and sometimes X-ray or ultrasound. If a fracture is suspected, X-ray is the most common method, while a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the chest can provide a detailed image of soft tissue injuries. Important diagnostic and treatment factors include the level of pain and whether breathing is affected.

Relevant symptoms

  • Pain or coughing during deep breaths
  • Tenderness when pressing or touching the area
  • Difficulty taking deep breaths
  • Bruising or swelling over the chest
  • Popping sound or sensation during movement

Related conditions and diagnoses

  • Chest trauma
  • Intercostal neuralgia
  • Pleurisy (inflammation of the pleura)
  • Chest bone pain
  • Osteoporosis-related fractures

Biological age

This health check includes an analysis of your biological age. Biological age is a measure of how your body ages at the cellular level compared to your chronological age. Comparing your blood counts with advanced algorithms will give you a deeper insight into your overall health status and how your lifestyle affects your biological aging. Based on the PhenoAge method. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5940111/

Medical comment included

With us, you will always receive a doctor’s opinion from a licensed physician when you order a medical check-up that includes a medical opinion. The doctor’s opinion includes an overall assessment of your results from laboratory analysis. The opinion is individual and may vary depending on the specific tests your medical check-up includes.

What can I expect in the medical report?

The medical opinion will summarize the results of your test results to give you an assessment of your health including any abnormalities outside the reference ranges. In case of abnormalities or need, your doctor may also contact you for a free conversation to explain and talk about your results. Remember that a health check always includes specific test results based on your health and your personal circumstances. Values outside the reference range should therefore always be discussed with a doctor before any decisions regarding possible treatment are made.

What does the doctor look at during a health check?

When assessing a blood test or health check, your doctor will look at several different parameters to evaluate your health and identify any abnormalities. Below are some common aspects your doctor may examine:

Blood counts: Your doctor will check red, white and platelet counts to identify any signs of anaemia, infection or bleeding.

Nutrients and biochemical markers: Includes, for example, analysis and monitoring of blood sugar (glucose) levels, electrolyte levels (e.g. sodium, potassium), liver function tests (e.g. liver enzymes), kidney function tests (e.g. creatinine, urea) and lipid profile (e.g. cholesterol, triglycerides). The results of the tests give your doctor a better idea of your organ function, blood sugar level, cholesterol conditions and other important health aspects.

Inflammatory markers: Your doctor may measure health markers such as C-reactive protein (CRP) or red blood cell decrease rate (SR) to evaluate inflammatory conditions or confirm an active infection.

Hormone levels: Your doctor may monitor your hormone levels to assess hormonal imbalances or diseases, such as thyroid hormones (TSH, T3, T4), sex hormones or other specific hormones such as testosterone levels.

Specific tests: Depending on your goal of your health check or medical history, your doctor may look into specific tests to investigate conditions or diseases, such as diabetes, vitamin deficiency or autoimmune diseases.

In conclusion, the doctor weighs all test results based on the health check to assess your overall health, detect any abnormalities and identify possible underlying medical conditions.

What happens if I have abnormal test results?

If your blood count is abnormal, this will be addressed in your personal medical opinion. Depending on the nature and extent of the abnormality, your doctor may also contact you directly through the test result service for further guidance. Various measures and advice will be provided based on the specific abnormalities observed along with your medical history.
