Which blood tests can provide useful information about your health? π©Έ This visual guide explains several commonly used blood tests and what they can help healthcare professionals assess.
π¬ CBC β Evaluates red cells, white cells, platelets, hemoglobin, and other blood-count measures.
β€οΈ Lipid Profile β Measures cholesterol and triglycerides to help assess cardiovascular risk.
π©Έ Blood Glucose & HbA1c β Helps assess blood sugar levels and diabetes risk.
π¦ Thyroid Tests (TSH, T3, T4) β Used to evaluate thyroid function when clinically indicated.
π« Liver Function Tests β Assess several markers related to liver function.
π« Kidney Function Tests β Help evaluate kidney function, often using measures such as creatinine and eGFR.
βοΈ Vitamin D & B12 β Tests may be useful when deficiency is suspected or risk factors are present.
π₯ CRP / ESR β Can provide information about inflammation, but they do not identify its cause by themselves.
π©Έ Iron Studies β Help evaluate iron status when deficiency or overload is suspected.
π§ͺ Other Tests β Additional tests such as uric acid, calcium, or metabolic testing may be ordered depending on symptoms, age, risk factors, and medical history.
β οΈ Important: Not everyone needs all of these tests every year. Routine testing should be based on your age, health history, symptoms, risk factors, medications, and your healthcare professional's recommendations. Abnormal results do not automatically mean you have a disease and often require clinical interpretation.
