Information

Medical comment included

With us, you will always receive a doctor’s opinion from a licensed physician when you order a medical check-up that includes a medical opinion. The doctor’s opinion includes an overall assessment of your results from laboratory analysis. The opinion is individual and may vary depending on the specific tests your medical check-up includes.

What can I expect in the medical report?

The medical opinion will summarize the results of your test results to give you an assessment of your health including any abnormalities outside the reference ranges. In case of abnormalities or need, your doctor may also contact you for a free conversation to explain and talk about your results. Remember that a health check always includes specific test results based on your health and your personal circumstances. Values outside the reference range should therefore always be discussed with a doctor before any decisions regarding possible treatment are made.

What does the doctor look at during a health check?

When assessing a blood test or health check, your doctor will look at several different parameters to evaluate your health and identify any abnormalities. Below are some common aspects your doctor may examine:

Blood counts: Your doctor will check red, white and platelet counts to identify any signs of anaemia, infection or bleeding.

Nutrients and biochemical markers: Includes, for example, analysis and monitoring of blood sugar (glucose) levels, electrolyte levels (e.g. sodium, potassium), liver function tests (e.g. liver enzymes), kidney function tests (e.g. creatinine, urea) and lipid profile (e.g. cholesterol, triglycerides). The results of the tests give your doctor a better idea of your organ function, blood sugar level, cholesterol conditions and other important health aspects.

Inflammatory markers: Your doctor may measure health markers such as C-reactive protein (CRP) or red blood cell decrease rate (SR) to evaluate inflammatory conditions or confirm an active infection.

Hormone levels: Your doctor may monitor your hormone levels to assess hormonal imbalances or diseases, such as thyroid hormones (TSH, T3, T4), sex hormones or other specific hormones such as testosterone levels.

Specific tests: Depending on your goal of your health check or medical history, your doctor may look into specific tests to investigate conditions or diseases, such as diabetes, vitamin deficiency or autoimmune diseases.

In conclusion, the doctor weighs all test results based on the health check to assess your overall health, detect any abnormalities and identify possible underlying medical conditions.

What happens if I have abnormal test results?

If your blood count is abnormal, this will be addressed in your personal medical opinion. Depending on the nature and extent of the abnormality, your doctor may also contact you directly through the test result service for further guidance. Various measures and advice will be provided based on the specific abnormalities observed along with your medical history.

Blood fats have several important functions in the body. Among other things, they help transport energy to the cells and are involved in the formation of new cells and hormones. There are several different types of blood fats, the two most common of which are triglycerides and cholesterol.

Triglycerides are the most common form of fat in the food we eat and serve as an important source of energy. If energy intake exceeds the body's needs, the excess is converted to triglycerides, which are stored in the liver and adipose tissue. They can then be released when the body needs energy.

Cholesterol is partly supplied through the diet, but is also formed in the liver, and is then transported into the blood. Cholesterol is transported in the form of lipoproteins and is often divided into two main types: HDL ("good cholesterol") and LDL ("bad cholesterol"). LDL cholesterol contributes to atherosclerosis, while HDL has a protective effect by transporting excess cholesterol away from the vascular system.

If the balance between different blood fats is disturbed, or if the levels become too high, the risk of atherosclerosis increases and thus also the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack and stroke.

Hyperlipidemia means that both triglyceride and cholesterol levels are elevated. Elevated levels of cholesterol alone are called hypercholesterolemia and are the most common and important blood fat disorder. LDL cholesterol can often be lowered through lifestyle changes, such as dietary changes and regular physical activity. In some cases, this is not enough and drug treatment may then be necessary.

Target values ​​for blood fats are individual and are based on the overall risk of cardiovascular disease, where factors such as previous illnesses and heredity are taken into account.

Get insight into your blood lipids

To get a picture of or follow your blood lipids over time, for example after changes in your lifestyle, we recommend that you carry out an analysis of the lipid profile. In this package analyzer as the most important blood lipids that can provide a picture of your current risk and guide future recommendations.

By checking your blood lipids, you can know that your values ​​are within the desired range and that you have the conditions for continued healthy and vibrant health.

Blood lipids included in the blood test

  • HDL cholesterol: The "good" cholesterol that protects against cardiovascular disease by transporting excess cholesterol away from the blood vessels.
  • LDL cholesterol: The "bad" cholesterol that can form plaques in the blood vessels and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
  • Total cholesterol: The total amount of cholesterol in the blood, including HDL and LDL cholesterol.
  • Triglycerides: Fatty substances that are stored in fat cells and affect cardiovascular health.
  • Non-HDL cholesterol: All lipoproteins that are not "high-density lipoproteins" (HDL), that is, low-density lipoproteins (LDL), very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL), and other lipoproteins that can be atherogenic (promote the formation of plaques in the blood vessels).

Cardiovascular markers are biomarkers that can be measured in the blood to assess the health of the heart and blood vessels and identify any cardiovascular risk factors or disease states. These markers can provide important information about the risk of cardiovascular disease, diagnose acute and chronic conditions, and be used for the follow-up and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

HDL
HDL cholesterol
HDL cholesterol, also known as "the good cholesterol", has anti-inflammatory properties and is responsible for transporting unwanted cholesterol to the liver for burning, reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.

LDL
LDL cholesterol
LDL cholesterol, also known as "bad cholesterol", is a form of cholesterol carried in the body that can cause heart disease if there is too much of it.

NHC
Non-HDL cholesterol
Non-HDL cholesterol, also known as non-HDL cholesterol, is an important marker for assessing the risk of heart disease. It represents a total amount of cholesterol particles in the blood that can promote the formation of plaques in the blood vessels.

TC
Total cholesterol
Cholesterol is a natural fat that is important to the body because it helps build cells and produce hormones. It is found both in the cells of the body and in certain foods.

TG
Triglycerides
Triglycerides are a type of fat found in the blood and used as a source of energy. They are a combination of glycerol and three fatty acids and play an important role in the body's energy metabolism. High levels of triglycerides in the blood have been shown to be a risk factor for health problems such as cardiovascular disease.
