What can be analyzed with a blood test?
Blood tests can provide a broader picture of the body's functions and can be used to follow up on health, check common health markers or examine specific areas. Depending on the test or health check you choose, the analysis may include:
- Blood status: for example, hemoglobin, blood cells and other values linked to blood function.
- Iron and nutrients: analyses that can provide information about iron stores and certain vitamins.
- Blood sugar: glucose and long-term blood sugar for monitoring blood sugar levels.
- Blood fats: cholesterol, HDL, LDL and triglycerides.
- Liver values: markers used to monitor liver function.
- Kidney values: analyses linked to the kidneys' filtration capacity.
- Thyroid: thyroid-related markers such as TSH and other analyses depending on the test package.
- Inflammation: relevant inflammation markers that may be included in certain analyses.
- Hormones: various hormone-related blood tests depending on what you want to examine.
- Prostate: PSA test for men who want to check a prostate-specific value.
Which analyses are included depends on the health check or blood test you order. At the Test Reception you can see the content of each test before you place your order.
Health check for private individuals
A health check with blood tests can be an easy way to get a better overview of your health. Many people choose to check their values as part of a regular health routine, before making a lifestyle change or when they want to follow up on, for example, blood sugar, blood fats, iron, vitamins or thyroid.
You do not need to know exactly which analyses to choose. There are different test packages with varying scope, from individual blood tests to more comprehensive health checks where several areas are analyzed simultaneously.
Checking several health markers in the same sample can provide a more comprehensive picture than just analyzing a single value. The test results are presented according to the information for the test you order, and in case of deviating results, you should contact the health and medical services for medical assessment.
Blood tests and health tests for companies
Blood tests and health checks can also be used by companies that want to offer employees an easy way to follow up on their health. For example, a company can use health tests as part of its health work, a wellness initiative or an investment in increased health awareness in the workplace.
By offering testing via the Test Clinic, employees can have the opportunity to check relevant health markers and submit samples to a clinic in the local area. The arrangement can be adapted to the company's needs and the type of health check or blood analysis that is relevant.
