Haemoglobin levels, haematocrit (blood thickness) and MCV are determined to rule out anemia. Anemia can occur with chronic illness, inflammation, processes, deficiency of iron, vitamin B-12 and folic acid. A low MCV fits an iron deficiency, a high MCV fits a vitamin B-12 and/or folic acid deficiency.
The amount of creatinine in the blood is a measure of the rate at which the kidneys filter is functioning and therefore of the kidney function.
The thyroid gland is located in the neck and the TSH regulates the production of thyroid hormones, including T4, from the thyroid gland. In case of an increase in thyroid or a decrease in thyroid, the metabolism works too fast or too slow, respectively. Thyroid gland abnormalities are typically caused by autoimmune diseases, in which antibodies are made against the thyroid gland.
Diabetes can be diagnosed with increased blood sugar in the blood and/or in the urine. The following glucose values are most likely diabetes: a non-fasting glucose values> 11.1 and an fasting glucose values> 7. In case of abnormal glucose results, you are advised to contact your doctor for further examination and treatment advice.
The white blood cells (leukocytes) may be elevated in inflammation. The platelets (platelets) play a role in the clotting of the blood. They are involved in multiple disease processes such as thrombosis and inflammation.
These values are a measure of inflammation in the body. The CRP can be elevated in acute inflammation, BSE can be elevated in chronic inflammation.
Elevated cholesterol is one of the risk factors for getting heart disease in addition to increased blood pressure, smoking, obesity and family history. The ratio of total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol is a predictor of the risk of heart disease. Elevated LDL and triglycerides may be indicative of an increased risk of heart disease.
Vitamin B12 and folic acid play an important role in the production of our red blood cells and in the functioning of your nervous system. Deficiencies can arise from, for example, dietary habits. Medications such as metformin and proton pump inhibitors can also cause decreased vitamin B12 and folic acid.
Impaired liver function can be caused by several factors: use of medication, alcohol, infections, gallstones, fatty liver, etc.
A reduced ferritin can be caused by blood loss, for example menstruation, and possibly processes in the gastrointestinal tract.
Vitamin D is important for strong bones, teeth, muscles and your immune system. Vitamin D deficiency can occur in people with tinted skin, who spend little time outdoors, women from the age of 50 years and men from the age of 70 years.
An ECG measures the electrical activity in a heart. Discrepancies on an ECG can indicate cardiac arrhythmia or a reduced blood supply to the heart muscle.

During the ECG, you will be asked to lie back and our assistent will attach sticky patches (electrodes) on your arms, legs and chest. These are attached to the ECG machine. You'll be asked to lie still for a few minutes when the ECG machine records the electrical signals.
Our lab will examine a sample of your urine
