Comprehensive Blood Test

Our veins and arteries carry blood that holds essential insights into the health of our heart and organs. To get a comprehensive snapshot of your well-being, Easly offers a full blood count test as part of its Comprehensive Blood Test package. However, before taking this test, it’s crucial to fast.

Cardiovascular Disease Risk Assessment

The comprehensive Blood Test Kit encompasses lipid profile analysis, specifically evaluating high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels and their respective ratios. This aids in discerning potential cardiovascular risks. Additionally, hs-CRP, a sensitive marker for systemic inflammation, is assessed. As scientific literature corroborates, elevated hs-CRP levels indicate subclinical inflammation linked to atherosclerotic progression and heightened cardiovascular risk.

Glycemic Control and Diabetes Risk

The assay also quantifies HbA1c, a glycosylated form of hemoglobin. HbA1c levels reflect average blood glucose concentrations over approximately 8-12 weeks. Elevated HbA1c values can signify impaired glycemic control, potentially indicative of prediabetes or diabetes mellitus.

Hepatic Function Assessment

The liver, a pivotal organ for metabolic and detoxification processes, undergoes thorough evaluation in this test. Hepatic enzymes are assayed, including ALT, AST, bilirubin, Gamma-GT, alkaline phosphatase, and albumin. Collectively, these parameters provide a comprehensive overview of hepatic health and functionality.

Renal Function Evaluation

Renal function is assessed primarily through creatinine levels, a byproduct of muscle metabolism, which is subsequently filtered by the kidneys. The eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate) is computed based on creatinine values and age, offering insights into renal filtration efficiency.

Thyroid Function Analysis

The thyroid gland, a critical endocrine organ, modulates myriad physiological processes, including metabolism, thermoregulation, and cardiovascular dynamics. To evaluate its function, the test measures TSH, a pituitary hormone that regulates thyroid hormone synthesis, and the active thyroid hormone, fT4.

Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D Status

Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is essential for erythropoiesis and cardiovascular health. Obtained primarily from dietary sources, a deficiency in B12 often manifests insidiously, especially in individuals adhering to vegetarian or vegan diets.

Vitamin D, technically a prohormone, facilitates calcium absorption and is integral for musculoskeletal health. Endogenously synthesized upon sun exposure, a deficiency in vitamin D can manifest with symptoms like muscle cramps, fatigue, and skeletal fragility.

Symptoms and complaints: When to do a blood test?

Should you present with non-specific clinical manifestations, such as persistent fatigue, a hematological analysis may be instrumental in elucidating the underlying issue. In instances of acute or severe symptoms that impede daily activities, it is imperative to promptly consult with a primary care physician.

Significance of the Comprehensive Blood Test

Easly’s Comprehensive Blood Test offers a meticulous evaluation of your organ health, hematological status, and potential cardiovascular risks. Notably, this assessment can be procured without a direct referral from a primary care provider. You can run the private full blood count test at home and submit your blood sample in time. Subsequently, the results, accompanied by expert medical interpretation, are made accessible online. Proactive and periodic health screenings facilitate early detection, enabling individuals to preemptively address potential health concerns.
