How does this screen work?
The well woman screen requires a simple blood sample to be taken, which can be performed at a clinic of your choice. Once the blood sample is taken, we will send your sample directly to our certified laboratory that will analyse the screen quickly and efficiently.
What tests will you run on my sample?
The well women screen is a comprehensive female health test and screens for the following:
Kidney profile. Sodium, potassium, urea, and creatinine
Liver profile. Transaminases (alanine and asparagine), gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), alkaline phosphatase, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), bilirubin and albumin
Bone profile. Protein, albumin, calcium, phosphorus, and alkaline phosphatase
Vitamin D. To determine your vitamin D levels
Cardiac profile. Transaminases (alanine and asparagine), creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase and potassium
Lipid profile. Cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein (HDL cholesterol), low-density lipoprotein (LDL cholesterol)
Glucose. Measures your blood sugar levels
Thyroid profile. To check whether you have the correct level of thyroid hormones for a healthy metabolism
Ferritin. This test measures the amount of iron stored in the body and can be used to diagnose anaemia or iron overload
Chloride. Essential for digestion. Helps to balance electrolytes, as well as acidity and alkalinity, which helps to maintain a healthy pH
Uric acid. High levels may indicate gout
Full blood count (FBC) with a 5-part differential. This test checks the levels of all your different blood cells identifying any abnormalities
Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). The ESR measures the rate at which blood cells settle in a tube. Faster rates can indicate inflammatory problems
