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.

Antibody test for IgG and IgM against chicken pox and shingles

Chickenpox, a common infectious disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), affects both children and adults. The immune system's two main players in the fight against chickenpox are immunoglobulin G (IgG) and immunoglobulin M (IgM). These antibodies play a crucial role in the understanding of the disease, diagnosis and assessment of the immune response. IgM and IgG antibodies are also used to assess immunity to shingles (chickenpox), which is also caused by the Varicella-zoster virus (VZV). Shingles occurs when the virus is reactivated after lying dormant in the body following a previous chickenpox infection.

This analysis gives you insight into your immunity to chicken pox with our antibody test based on a venous blood sample. Immunity testing includes both IgM and IgG antibody analysis to provide a detailed and accurate assessment of your immune status. The basis of our analysis is a simple venous blood test, which provides reliable results.

Assessing both IgM and IgG antibodies to varicella is critical for a comprehensive assessment of immune response and infection status:

Early detection with IgM:

IgM antibodies are the first antibodies produced upon a new infection. By measuring IgM levels, early identification of ongoing or recent chickenpox infection is possible.

Long-term protection with IgG:

IgG antibodies remain in the body and provide long-term protection. Analysis of IgG provides an assessment of immunity and shows whether the individual's body has previously been exposed to chickenpox.

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.

Chickenpox is a common infectious disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus. In the fight against this disease, immunoglobulin G (IgG), a specific type of antibody whose task is to create long-term immunity by fighting infections and viruses such as the varicella-zoster virus, plays a role.
