About blood tests
Blood tests are an essential tool in routine medical screenings and diagnostics. They allow healthcare professionals to evaluate a person's physical well-being by measuring the levels of substances such as electrolytes, proteins, hormones, lipids and enzymes in the blood.
Blood tests can help to detect infections, anaemia, genetic disorders, immune system abnormalities and many other conditions. They are safe and relatively quick procedures that can be used to assess one's health.
What to expect at the appointment
The appointment will last roughly 30 minutes
We will ask some questions, explain the process, and ensure you are happy before obtaining your consent to proceed
Our trained healthcare professional will take a blood sample from a blood vessel in your arm, usually the inside of the elbow or wrist, where the veins are relatively close to the surface
Our trained healthcare professional will put a tight band (tourniquet) around your upper arm. This squeezes the arm, temporarily slowing the blood flow and causing the vein to swell. This makes it easier for a sample to be taken
A needle attached to a syringe or special container is inserted into the vein. The syringe is used to draw out a sample of your blood
You may feel slight pricking or scratching as the needle goes in, but it shouldn't be painful (If you don't like needles and blood, tell the person who is taking the sample so they can make you more comfortable)
When the sample has been taken, the tourniquet will be released, and the needle will be removed. Pressure is applied to the skin for a few minutes using a cotton wool pad. A plaster may be put on the small wound to keep it clean
If we fail to draw blood, we will reschedule you for free. One follow-up is allowed
If we are unsuccessful again the second time, you will be charged a consultation fee and refunded the rest
When will I receive my results?
After your appointment, we will send your blood sample to our partner lab on the same day. The lab will analyse the sample, and results will be sent to you via email within 5 to 7 working days from your appointment date.

Your blood type is based on which proteins are on your red blood cells, and this is either type A, B, AB or O. A test is also done to see whether you have Rhesus (Rh) factor on the surface of your red blood cells which is either positive or negative.

This test detects the presence of cardiolipin antibodies produced by the body in response to a perceived threat, and are the most common antiphospholipid antibodies. These autoantibodies can affect the body’s ability to regulate blood clotting.

This test can indicate your risk of developing cardiovascular problems. High cholesterol levels can cause your arteries to become blocked - leading to coronary heart disease, heart attack or stroke.
-
Finding out about high cholesterol levels can help you make the positive lifestyle and dietary changes needed to improve your chances of a long and healthy life.

A high HbA1c is used to diagnose diabetes. It is beneficial because it indicates how often you have had abnormally high blood glucose levels over the previous three months – rather than a glucose test showing your level at a single point in time.
-
It is a potentially life-saving test, and it is common for people to have diabetes and not know about it. Unmanaged or undiagnosed diabetes is one of the leading causes of mortality.

A Full Blood Count (FBC) provides information about the different cells in the blood, these include the red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.
-
Red blood cells contain haemoglobin which carries oxygen to the various tissues in the body. In contrast, white blood cells control the immune system and protect the body from foreign invaders like bacteria and viruses. FBC testing is a screening test for various disorders like anaemia and infections.

The immune system produces HIV 1&2 antibodies after exposure to HIV. HIV 1&2 antibodies tests are used to measure the presence of antibodies produced in response to HIV.
-
Levels of the viral p24 protein are present in the blood serum of newly infected individuals during the short period between infection and seroconversion, making p24 antigen assays useful in diagnosing primary HIV infection. For accurate results, this test must be done 3-4 weeks after possible exposure.
After your appointment, we will send your blood sample to our partner lab on the same day. The lab will analyse the sample, and results will be sent to you via email within 5 to 7 working days from your appointment date.

Before your appointment
Before your blood test, it is essential to:
Get plenty of rest
Drink at least 500ml of water on the day of your appointment
Avoid strenuous exercise and alcohol for 24 hours before the test
It may be necessary to fast for 8-12 hours before the test to get accurate results
It is also advisable to wear comfortable clothing on the day of your test, as some parts of a blood test may require you to remain still for a while. Additionally, it may be beneficial to bring along something such as a book or music to help you relax and stay comfortable during the test.
