Blood tests are one of the most common diagnostic tools in medicine. They provide valuable insights into your overall health and help detect conditions early.
Common Blood Tests
- Full Blood Count (FBC): Assesses red and white blood cells, detecting anaemia or infection.
- Liver and Kidney Function Tests: Check organ health and efficiency.
- Thyroid Function Test: Evaluates hormone levels that control metabolism.
- Cholesterol Test: Measures risk for heart disease.
- Blood Glucose Test: Screens for diabetes.
Why Blood Tests Matter
Many conditions, such as high cholesterol or vitamin deficiencies, show no symptoms in the early stages. Routine blood tests allow doctors to intervene before complications develop.
