What is a Blood Health Test?

A Blood Health Test is a comprehensive assessment that gives key readings to help assess blood health and immunity. This test analyses key blood parameters, including but not limited to:

  • Red blood cell count
  • White blood cell count
  • Platelet count
  • Haemoglobin levels
  • Markers of organ function and disease risk and more

By examining these blood parameters, we can gain valuable insights into your overall health status, detect potential abnormalities or deficiencies, and assess the functioning of vital organs such as the liver, kidneys, and thyroid gland. Additionally, a Blood Health Test can help identify underlying health conditions such as anaemia, infections, inflammation, and metabolic disorders.

Overall, a Blood Health Test provides a comprehensive snapshot of an individual's blood health, enabling you to make informed decisions about diagnosis, treatment, and preventive care strategies.

Why Take a Blood Health Test?

A blood test for health is crucial for understanding the overall functioning of your body's circulatory system. This test can provide valuable insights, including:

  • Assessing the overall health of your blood composition and circulation.
  • Monitoring and detecting early signs of blood-related disorders, such as anaemia, infections, and clotting disorders.
  • Evaluating the functioning of vital organs, like the liver, kidneys, and thyroid gland, and how they impact blood health.
  • Providing important information for diagnosing and managing conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and autoimmune disorders.
  • If you have risk factors for blood-related disorders or a family history of cardiovascular conditions, incorporating a Blood Health Test into your health assessment can be particularly beneficial for early detection and proactive management of potential health issues.

What Does the Blood Health Test Show?

A Blood Health Test provides valuable insights into various aspects of your body's functioning. While it doesn't offer a complete picture, it is a snapshot that guides further assessment and diagnosis.

Here is what healthcare professionals can understand from the test:

  • Functioning of blood components: The test assesses if your blood is performing its vital functions adequately. For instance, it checks the levels of red blood cells responsible for carrying oxygen throughout your body. Abnormalities in red blood cell levels, such as low levels indicating anaemia, can be detected. Additionally, microscopic examination of your cells may reveal abnormalities in size or shape, which could signal underlying blood disorders or cancers.

  • Levels of enzymes and electrolytes: The test evaluates if you have normal levels of enzymes and electrolytes. Enzymes are proteins that facilitate chemical reactions in your body, while electrolytes help regulate various bodily functions and maintain fluid balance. Deviations from normal levels of these substances can indicate underlying health issues or imbalances that require further investigation.

What Does a Blood Health Test Involve?

A Blood Health Test involves a simple blood draw. One of our trained health assessment specialists will collect a small sample of blood from a vein in your arm. This sample is then carefully labelled and sent to one of the certified laboratories we partner with for analysis. Results are usually available within a few days, and your personalised Results Report will interpret the results in easy to understand language and suggest any necessary follow-up actions.
