Blood testing is an important method for keeping track of a person’s overall well-being. Routine testing will allow you to see how your body is changing over time and will allow you to make better health decisions.
 
There are 10 important blood tests:

1. Complete blood count (CBC), this checks for 10 components of the blood, including, white and red blood cells, and platelets.
2. The basic metabolic panel will check for specific compounds in the blood, including calcium, glucose, potassium, sodium, chloride, bicarbonate, creatine, and blood urea nitrogen.
3. Comprehensive metabolic panel checks for proteins related to liver function as well as the basic metabolic proteins.
4. The lipid panel checks the two types of cholesterol in your blood.
5. The thyroid panel checks for the hormones related to thyroid function.
6. Cardiac biomarkers are checked with a blood test. It will look for enzymes that help with certain chemical processes related to many vital functions in the body.
7. Sexually transmitted infections are discovered with simple blood tests.
8. A coagulation panel is a blood test that measures how your blood clots. Clotting is crucial as it stops bleeding after a wound or cut. Clotting can also cause blockage in a vein or artery, which can be deadly.
9. DHEA-sulfate serum test. The dehydroepiandrosterone hormone comes from the adrenal glands. This test checks to see if your levels are in the right range. This hormone is important in traits, like hair growth.

10. A C-reactive protein test is done to check for issues including:

• Viral or bacterial infection
• Autoimmune diseases, like rheumatoid arthritis or Lupus
• Inflammation related to diabetes
• Cancer
• Inflammation from habits like smoking or physical trauma

Blood tests can often help your doctor understand how your organs are functioning. When organs malfunction, it can lead to hormonal imbalances and chronic health issues.
Blood tests can be used to identify diseases and conditions related to diseases, such as:

• Diabetes
• Anemia
• HIV
• Cancer
• Coronary heart disease
• Hepatitis C

Having blood work done once a year is a good way to keep track of your health. It can indicate whether your body is functioning normally or if you are headed toward a health issue. Getting blood tests done annually can help you reduce the risk of certain diseases and other health complications.
 
The complete blood count is often called routine blood work. It can help assess overall health and organ function. It can give indications of anemia, infections, and cancer.
 
A blood glucose test is done to measure the sugar levels in your blood. It is a check for prediabetes and diabetes, which are growing concerns in the U.S.
 
A lipid panel measures the two types of cholesterol in the blood: high-density lipoproteins and low-density lipoproteins. It will also check the triglyceride levels. This is done to determine your risk of heart disease. If these levels are high, you may need more frequent testing.
