What can I expect from the Well Woman Blood Test?
This specialized blood test is meticulously crafted to offer women a comprehensive health assessment, providing crucial insights into a wide array of vital health conditions.
Undertaking this blood test today can potentially enhance your longevity and well-being by years. Many of the conditions screened for may take years to manifest symptoms, and some may not exhibit any symptoms at all. Yet, untreated, they can lead to significant damage over time.
The test begins with a full blood count, examining hemoglobin levels, red and white blood cells, and platelets. This not only screens for anemia but also offers early detection of various blood diseases and health conditions, providing essential information about immune system activity and clotting function.
The profile includes a diabetes assessment (HbA1c), crucial for the over 1 million individuals unaware they have diabetes. Early diagnosis empowers lifestyle adjustments and treatments that can substantially improve quality of life and longevity.
Thyroid function is evaluated, addressing a condition affecting at least 1 in every 8 women. Diagnosis via symptoms or medical examination can be challenging, making this blood test essential for timely intervention, potentially averting years of unexplained symptoms.
A complete cholesterol profile, analyzing 7 health markers, is included. High cholesterol levels, prevalent in over 40% of adults, pose significant risks for heart attacks and strokes. Early detection facilitates necessary lifestyle modifications to mitigate these risks.
High sensitivity C-reactive protein assessment identifies generalized inflammation, crucial for heart health and indicative of various health issues like autoimmune diseases and infections.
Hormone levels (estrogen, luteinizing hormone, and progesterone) provide valuable insights into fertility and menopause.
An iron status profile, including ferritin, evaluates blood health and indicates storage capacity, pertinent to many health conditions.
Vitamin analysis (B12, Folate, and D) is essential for blood and overall health. Vitamin D deficiency, affecting over 1 in 6 individuals, is particularly concerning due to its association with various health issues, including increased cancer risks.
Liver function assessment identifies stress on this vital organ, pivotal for digestion and toxin removal.
Kidney function testing ensures early detection of any issues, enabling prompt intervention.
Calcium levels assess bone health, while creatine kinase evaluates muscle health. Gout screening offers opportunities for lifestyle adjustments and treatment.
