Understanding Blood Test Results: What Your Numbers Mean
South Ken MD Team
Blood tests are one of the most common diagnostic tools in medicine, providing valuable insights into your overall health. Understanding your results can help you take a more active role in managing your wellbeing.
"Knowledge is power. Understanding what your blood tests measure helps you make informed decisions about your health."
Common Blood Test Markers
Full Blood Count (FBC)
Measures red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Abnormalities can indicate conditions ranging from anaemia to infection.
Liver Function Tests (LFTs)
Measures enzymes and proteins produced by your liver, helping assess liver health and detect issues like fatty liver disease.
Kidney Function Tests
Creatinine and urea levels assess how well your kidneys are filtering waste from your blood.
Cholesterol Panel
Includes total cholesterol, LDL (bad), HDL (good), and triglycerides—all important for cardiovascular health.
