1. Why Blood Tests Are Important
Blood tests provide a window into your body’s inner workings. They help detect potential issues like diabetes, infections, and nutrient deficiencies before symptoms arise. Haldebis Phlebotomy ensures accurate sample collection for precise results.
2. Breaking Down Your Results
Blood test results often include reference ranges that show normal levels for various components:
- Complete Blood Count (CBC): Evaluates red and white blood cells, hemoglobin, and platelets.
- Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP): Assesses kidney function, blood sugar, and electrolyte levels.
- Lipid Panel: Measures cholesterol and triglycerides to evaluate heart health.
3. What Do Abnormal Results Mean?
Abnormal results may indicate conditions requiring further investigation, such as:
- High cholesterol suggesting heart risks.
- Low hemoglobin indicating anemia.
- Elevated glucose levels pointing to diabetes.
Haldebis Phlebotomy ensures your samples are handled with care for trustworthy readings.
4. Tips for Interpreting Your Results
- Compare numbers with reference ranges.
- Discuss results with your doctor for personalized advice.
