Blood tests and health checks in Karlstad
Do you want to order a blood test or have a health check in Karlstad? Via the Testmottagningen you can choose between individual blood tests and more comprehensive health checks. The test is then submitted to MACC People at Actic City, Norra Strandgatan 17 in Karlstad.
A blood test can provide information about several important health markers. For example, you can check blood sugar, blood lipids, blood status, iron values, thyroid and various vitamin-related values. By choosing the right test, you can get a comprehensive overview of the areas you want to follow up.
Choose a blood test based on what you want to check
Different blood tests are designed for different needs. Some tests focus on a specific health value, while other test packages contain several tests from different areas. At the Test Clinic you can read about the content of each test before you order.
Examples of analysis areas that may be included in blood tests and health checks are:
- Blood status: analyses of blood cells and other basic blood values.
- Blood sugar: glucose and long-term blood sugar depending on the selected test.
- Blood fats: for example total cholesterol, HDL, LDL and triglycerides.
- Iron and vitamins: iron-related markers as well as selected vitamins and nutrients.
- Thyroid: TSH and other thyroid-related analyses in certain test packages.
- Liver and kidneys: markers used to monitor liver and kidney function.
- Inflammation: inflammation-related values that may be included in certain health checks.
- Hormones: hormone-related analyses based on the specific content of the test.
Which analyses are included depends on which blood test or health check you choose. If you want to examine several areas at the same time, a broader health check can be a practical alternative.
Health check for those who want to follow up on their health
A health check can suit those who want to create a better overview of their health values. Many people choose to have a check-up as part of a regular health routine or when they want to follow up on changes in diet, exercise and lifestyle.
You do not need to order a comprehensive check-up if you already know which area you want to focus on. It is also possible to choose individual blood tests, for example for blood sugar, cholesterol, iron, vitamin D or thyroid, depending on which analyses are available.
Test results should always be assessed based on the individual's situation. A health check does not replace medical care, and if you have symptoms or concerns about your health, you should contact the health and medical services.
Blood tests and health tests for companies
Companies can use health checks and blood tests as part of their health promotion work. It can be a way to give employees the opportunity to follow up on common health markers through an external and individual test.
A company plan can, for example, include health tests for several employees or information about different test options. Contact the Test Clinic to get information about the options available to companies and which solution may suit the needs of the business.
