Blood analysis

Blood analysis is a fundamental component of modern medicine and an essential tool in functional medicine. This diagnostic method allows for the assessment of various health conditions, the early detection of diseases, and the overall improvement of health. Many conditions, such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, liver and kidney disorders, and various forms of cancer, can be identified through specific diagnostic parameters long before clinical symptoms appear. This enables early intervention and significantly increases the chances of successful treatment.Blood tests are also a valuable tool for assessing general health. A complete blood count (CBC), for example, provides information on the number and type of blood cells, which can help diagnose anemia, infections, and other conditions. Electrolyte tests offer insights into the body's water and salt balance, while liver and kidney function tests evaluate the health of these vital organs.

Which values are measured in a blood analysis?

The number of values measured in a blood analysis can vary significantly depending on the type of examination and the specific question being addressed. In the Biocannovea blood test, the following parameters, among others, are analyzed:

Red blood cells (Erythrocytes)

These cells transport oxygen from the lungs to the tissues and carry carbon dioxide back to the lungs. A low erythrocyte count may indicate anemia, while a high count may suggest polycythemia or other conditions.

White blood cells (Leukocytes)

These cells are part of the immune system and help fight infections. Abnormal leukocyte counts may indicate infections, inflammation, or blood disorders.

Hemoglobin and hematocrit

Hemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells that transports oxygen. Hematocrit is the ratio of red blood cells to total blood volume. Both values are essential for diagnosing anemia and other blood disorders.

Blood platelets (Thrombocytes)

These cells are responsible for blood clotting. Abnormal platelet counts may indicate clotting disorders.


Total cholesterol

A high total cholesterol level is a risk factor for heart disease.

Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)

This test provides insight into the average blood sugar levels over the past two to three months. It is used to monitor long-term blood sugar control in diabetics.


Triglycerides

High triglyceride levels can also increase the risk of heart disease.

Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol

Also known as "bad" cholesterol, high LDL levels can lead to arterial plaque buildup and increase the risk of heart disease.


High-density-lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol

Also known as "good" cholesterol, HDL helps remove excess cholesterol from the blood.

Bilirubin

This substance is produced during the breakdown of hemoglobin. High bilirubin levels may indicate liver diseases or bile duct obstructions.


Albumin and total protein

These tests measure the amount of albumin and other proteins in the blood that are produced by the liver. Abnormal values may indicate liver or kidney diseases.


Creatinine

This waste product is filtered out of the blood by the kidneys. High creatinine levels may indicate kidney problems.

Individual support

For patients undergoing treatment, regular blood tests are essential to monitor progress and evaluate the effectiveness of therapy. Our Biocannovea Longevity Medical Center supports patients throughout the entire process—from medical history assessment and diagnostics to result discussions and continuous therapy guidance.
