What this checkup measures

This checkup includes 11 values for a clear picture of this system.

Biomarkers in this panel, with unit and turnaround
No. Biomarker Unit Turnaround
01 Vitamin D (25-OH) Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin. Its main job is the absorption of calcium and phosphate from the gut. That makes it decisive for bone metabolism. The skin produces it under the influence of sunlight. Food and supplements supply a smaller share. nmol/l 3 days
02 Vitamin B12 Vitamin B12 is considered essential for red blood cell formation, neurological function, and DNA synthesis. Deficiency may develop gradually and is sometimes associated with dietary patterns. Healthcare providers can help interpret your results. pmol/l 3 days
03 Folate (Folic Acid) Folate, also known as vitamin B9, is a water-soluble vitamin involved in cell division and DNA synthesis. Adequate folate levels are considered important for overall health and may be particularly relevant during periods of rapid growth. nmol/l 2 days
04 Magnesium Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body, including energy production, muscle and nerve function, blood sugar regulation, and bone development. mmol/l 5 days
05 Zinc Zinc is an essential trace mineral involved in immune function, wound healing, DNA synthesis, protein production, and cell division. It is required for the activity of over 300 enzymes. umol/l 6 days
06 Iron (Serum) Serum iron measures the amount of circulating iron in your blood. Iron is essential for haemoglobin production, oxygen transport, and energy metabolism throughout the body. umol/l 5 days
07 Ferritin Ferritin is a protein that stores iron, so your ferritin level shows how large your iron reserve is. Serum iron only measures how much iron is circulating in your blood at that moment; ferritin describes the reserve behind it. That reserve empties before your haemoglobin falls, so a low ferritin can already cause symptoms while your blood count still looks normal. Ferritin also rises with inflammation, infection and liver strain, which is why it can only be read properly alongside a CRP. Commonly used reference values are 30 to 400 µg/l for men and 15 to 150 µg/l for women, but your own laboratory report is what counts. ug/l 2 days
08 Transferrin Transferrin is the main protein responsible for transporting iron in the blood. It carries iron from the gut and storage sites to cells that need it, including bone marrow for red blood cell production. g/l 2 days
09 Transferrin Saturation Transferrin saturation measures the percentage of the iron-transport protein transferrin that is occupied by iron. It is a key indicator of your body's iron status and helps distinguish between different causes of iron-related disorders. % —
10 Hemoglobin A hemoglobin test measures the amount of hemoglobin protein in your blood. Hemoglobin is found inside red blood cells and is responsible for binding oxygen in the lungs and delivering it throughout your body. mmol/l 1 day
11 MCV (Mean Corpuscular Volume) MCV stands for mean corpuscular volume: the average volume of one red blood cell, expressed in femtolitres. In adults an MCV between 80 and 100 fL is normal. Below 80 fL your red cells are small, which usually points to iron deficiency or to an inherited trait. Above 100 fL they are large, which fits a vitamin B12 or folate deficiency, regular alcohol use, an underactive thyroid or liver disease. MCV makes no diagnosis of its own: it indicates the direction in which to look further. And because it is an average, the value can be normal while two deficiencies exist side by side. fl 1 day
Your result arrives once the slowest test is finished: 6 days. This is indicative; turnaround varies per laboratory.

Preparation

  1. Been ill? Wait a little

    Required

    Had a fever, an infection or a vaccination in the past 2 weeks? Wait with the draw until you are fully recovered. These values react to inflammation and would give a distorted picture.

  2. Preferably fasting

    Recommended

    Coming fasting gives a slightly cleaner value, but it is not required. If it suits you, eat nothing from 22:00 the evening before and drink only water.

  3. Preferably in the morning

    Recommended

    A morning draw makes this value easiest to compare with its reference range. Plan the draw before 10:00 if you can.

  • Water is always fine. Drink as usual beforehand, it makes the draw easier.
  • Take your usual medication, unless your own doctor told you otherwise.

Tests from the same field, run on the same sample. Same draw, no second appointment.

Active Vitamin B12 pmol/l Active Vitamin B12 measures the bioavailable form of vitamin B12 that your body can readily use. Unlike total B12, this test may provide a more accurate picture of your actual B12 status and cellular availability.
+€127,-
Hematocrit l/l Your hematocrit shows which share of your blood consists of red blood cells. Dutch laboratories report it as a fraction. A result of 0.45 l/l therefore stands for 45 percent. Hematocrit is almost always measured alongside haemoglobin and the red cell count. It is a concentration measure, so your fluid balance feeds into the result. Being under-hydrated raises the value without a single extra red cell being made. One isolated hematocrit value therefore says little. The number gains meaning next to your haemoglobin, your MCV and the timing of the draw.
+€10,-
Leukocyte Differential A leukocyte differential test measures the relative proportions of different types of white blood cells in your blood. It provides a detailed breakdown of your immune cell populations, offering valuable insight into your immune system's function.
+€13,-
Leukocytes (WBC) 10^9/l Leukocytes are the white blood cells in your blood. They form the core of your defence against bacteria, viruses and fungi. The leukocyte count states how many of these cells sit in a fixed volume of blood. The number is the sum of five different cell types, each with its own task. At the laboratory that runs the test the usual adult range runs from 4.3 to 10.0 x10^9/L. Laboratories use slightly different limits from one another. Always read the reference value printed on your own result. A single measurement is not a diagnosis. The number moves with infection, exertion, stress, smoking and even the time of day you give blood.
+€9,-
Platelets (Thrombocytes) 10^9/l This value counts the platelets coming out of the same tube as your red and white cells. Platelets are the smallest things in your blood, and they help seal a cut. They are counted from the same tube as your red cells and your white cells. Together those three make up the full blood count. So this number is never read on its own. It only means something beside your haemoglobin, your MCV and your white cells. In adults the normal range runs from 150 to 400 ×10⁹/l, the same for men and women. Platelets live only seven to ten days. One odd reading is rarely the whole story.
+€8,-
Potassium mmol/l Potassium is an essential electrolyte and mineral that helps regulate heartbeat, muscle contractions, nerve signals, and fluid balance. It is one of the most important minerals for cardiovascular health.
