What it tests for
Parameters this test checks to identify common health risks
Overall state of health
CRP
Checks for acute (e.g. baterical infection) and chronic inflammation (such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus).
Cardiovascular health
Lipid panel
Measures trygylcerides, high-density lipoprotein (also called "good cholesterol") and low-density lipoprotein (also called "bad cholesterol"). HDL is called "good" because it collects fatty acid in your blood vessels and brings them back to the liver for processing and removal. LDL is called "bad" because too much of it in can lead to a buildup of plaque in your arteries, putting you at risk of heart disease, diabetes, or stroke.
Kidney health
Kreatinin
Indicates how well kidneys are performing their job of filtering waste from the blood.
Liver health
ALT
Important liver enzyme, gets released into the blood stream when liver tissue is damaged. May indicate compromised liver function (e.g. removing toxins from blood, making proteins, storing vitamins and iron).
Energy & metabolic health (diabetes)
Ferritin
Indicates how much iron the body stores. Indicator for iron deficiency. Iron deficiency negatively impacts the body´s ability to transport oxygen & thereby makes you tired.
Hb1Ac (Diabetes indicator)
Reflects average blood sugar level for the past two to three months, indicator for diabetes risk.
Gout
Uric acid
Indicates risk for gout by measuring uric acid.

What our customers have to say
Great team and excellent service. The blood test was delivered the next day. If you follow the instructions, it works perfectly. The results, along with the doctor's report, were available just one day later—fantastic!
Vincent
The analysis service from Health Yourself is absolutely top-notch! This is how modern medicine should be: straightforward, efficient, affordable.
Pascal
I had been postponing a check-up because getting an appointment outside of regular office hours was basically impossible. This way I just used my lunch break to do my test. Results were in on the next day already. Will keep doing this once a year.
