General detailed blood test

It is recommended to donate blood for a detailed analysis annually as part of a preventive examination. The study allows you to confirm a good state of health or to detect the first signs of deviations in time, which are asymptomatic so far and can be successfully corrected.

The results of a blood test are required for all patients during planned hospitalization in a hospital, before invasive manipulations and surgical interventions.

The study is also prescribed for suspected diseases of all organs and systems since its results are universal and reflect the general trend of pathological processes in the body. An extensive blood test in Ukraine is inexpensive, so it can be performed repeatedly to assess the dynamics of the disease and the effectiveness of the prescribed treatment.

Performing an extended blood test is required if the following groups of pathologies are suspected:

• infectious diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa;
• helminthic invasions;
• diseases of the blood system (anemia, thrombocytopenia, immunodeficiency states, leukemias, and lymphomas);
• diseases of the cardiovascular, urinary, respiratory system;
• acute and chronic allergic diseases.

The accuracy of the results is affected by the correct preparation and sampling of blood, so patients are advised to strictly follow the instructions of the doctor. Basic rules before donating blood for analysis:

• come to the clinic in the morning on an empty stomach, it is allowed to drink unsweetened water without gas;
• 24 hours before blood sampling, exclude alcohol, do not undergo too intense physical exertion;
• 2 days before the test, limit the intake of fatty foods.

If you are constantly taking any medications, before getting a referral for a test, check with your doctor if you need to interrupt the course of treatment while donating blood.

The speed of conducting and the low price of a general detailed blood test make it comfortable for patients. For the study, you will need to come to the Dobrobut MC clinic at the appointed time, visit the manipulation room, where the nurse will take a blood sample from a vein. The procedure takes up to 5 minutes, an experienced nurse makes a puncture very carefully, so there will be no bruising on the skin. With good health after blood sampling, the patient can immediately go about his business.

Then the biomaterial samples are transferred to the laboratory for research. To speed up and automate this process, a modern analyzer has been installed that counts the number of different blood cells and other indicators. If the device shows serious deviations from the norm, the data is checked manually by a laboratory doctor.

In the form of the results of a general clinical blood test, the following columns will be filled in:

• erythrocytes - red blood cells that carry out the function of transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide;
• hemoglobin is an iron-containing protein in red blood cells that binds to gas molecules and transports them throughout the body;
• color indicator - the degree of saturation of red blood cells with hemoglobin, which shows the correct formation and functioning of red blood cells;
• erythrocyte indices - special indicators that reflect the average size, distribution width, and volume of red blood cells;
• hematocrit - the percentage of blood cells in a unit of its volume, which allows you to assess the viscosity of the blood;
• leukocytes - a large group of white blood cells that protect the body from the penetration of infections and other foreign agents;
• platelets - components of the blood coagulation system, which are responsible for stopping bleeding and the formation of blood clots at the site of damage to the vessel;
• the erythrocyte sedimentation rate is a non-specific marker of the presence or absence of inflammatory processes in the body.

The price of a detailed blood test in Kyiv will be higher than the cost of a basic study since, in addition to the above indicators, different fractions of leukocytes are counted. This information is important for the differential diagnosis of bacterial and viral inflammation, the definition of helminthiases and allergies, the detection of signs of malignant neoplasms and autoimmune pathologies.

In the leukocyte formula, you can see the following indicators:

• neutrophils - granulocytic cells that protect against pathogenic bacteria;
• eosinophils - cells that regulate the course of allergic reactions, involved in the neutralization of large parasites;
• basophils are cells involved in a complex immune response to the introduction of foreign pathogens and allergic inflammation processes;
• monocytes - cells that can capture and neutralize pathogenic pathogens in tissues;
• lymphocytes are the main components of the immune system responsible for cellular and humoral reactions.

According to the change in the total number of leukocytes and the ratio of individual cell fractions, the doctor can assume the diagnosis with high accuracy. However, the results of the leukocyte formula are not the final confirmation of the disease and require an extended examination.

The reference (normative) values ​​of each indicator are indicated in the results form, but you should not try to independently evaluate the data obtained. Numerical values ​​have no diagnostic value without examining the symptoms, medical history, and the results of other examination methods. Only a doctor can correctly interpret the indicators of a general clinical detailed blood test.

After receiving the results of the study, it is worth signing up for a second consultation with the doctor of the Dobrobut MC clinic to get comprehensive information about the state of your health.

If a specialist has prescribed a blood test for you, do not neglect this recommendation. Just one simple and safe study will provide valuable information about the state of the body at the moment, help to detect signs of hidden pathology, and determine further examination tactics. Contact our medical center to get a general detailed blood test at the best price and get a laboratory conclusion as soon as possible.

You can sign up for a doctor's consultation and blood donation in Kyiv by phone or through a request in the feedback form. Before recording, the clinic administrator will clarify the rules for preparing for biomaterial sampling so that you get the most accurate result.
