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.

Do you suspect Lyme infection?

Borrelia test for analysis of antibodies via blood test to identify if you have antibodies against Borrelia. The test includes measurement of both Borrelia antibodies IgM and IgG and gives you an indication of current or previous infection

Can the test result show if I have Lyme disease?

Yes, the sample response from a Borrelia antibody test can provide essential information about your possible Borrelia infection. The test includes measurement of both IgM and IgG antibodies to Borrelia, which gives an indication of your immune response and the presence of infection. IgM antibodies are particularly useful in detecting an early infection, usually in the first few weeks after exposure. On the other hand, IgG antibodies may indicate a previous or ongoing infection, depending on their levels and possible increase over time. It is important to note that test results should be interpreted in conjunction with clinical symptoms and any other diagnostic tests for a comprehensive assessment of your Borrelia status.

Interpretation of test results

The result of your blood test will be evaluated as either positive or negative for antibodies of the IgM and IgG types. The classification is based on a grading scale presented in the table below. Please note that each grade indicates the strength of the antibody response and helps interpret whether an infection has occurred or if there is ongoing activity.

IgM
Negative Weakly positive Moderately Positive Strongly positive
IgG Negative 1 2 3 4
Weakly positive 5 6 7 8
Moderately Positive 9 10 11 12
Strongly positive 13 14 15 16

What is the difference between IgM and IgG antibodies against Borrelia?

IgM antibodies are the first to be produced in response to a Borrelia infection and are more involved in the early stages of the immune response. They are usually used to confirm an early infection, especially in the first few weeks after infection. IgG antibodies then follow and may be present in the body for a longer period of time to provide protection against re-infection. They are often used to confirm a previous infection and may indicate an ongoing infection if their levels increase over time. Both types of antibodies are useful in the diagnosis and monitoring of Borrelia infections.

Why should I do a blood test for Lyme disease?

The Lyme disease test can be ordered for several important reasons. First, it can identify the presence of Borrelia antibodies in your blood. Because Lyme disease can be a serious infection, it is crucial to diagnose and treat it early to prevent possible complications, such as neurological problems or chronic diseases.

By ordering the Lyme disease test, you can also make a decision to seek medical care and get treatment. Antibiotic treatment is usually effective in fighting Borrelia infections, especially if it is carried out in the early stages of the disease.

Another reason to carry out a Lyme disease blood test is that it can give you peace of mind. Getting a clear answer can ease worry and anxiety, especially if you've been worried about possible exposure to Lyme disease.

Infections are caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi or parasites and can affect different parts of the body. Blood tests can identify signs of infection and distinguish between viral and bacterial conditions. Specific antibody and microbial tests provide guidance when an ongoing or past infection is suspected.

Borrelia IgM Antibodies
Borrelia IgM antibodies are the body's early defense against Borrelia infections. They are produced upon exposure to Borrelia bacteria and are particularly prominent in first-time infections, persist in the blood for over a year, and are weak or absent in a new infection in previously infected individuals.
