The basic blood count test should especially be performed if your haemoglobin count is usually low, you are vegetarian, you have symptoms suggestive of anaemia, or if there are any other reasons to suspect the presence of an anomaly, such as an iron absorption disorder.
A blood count test can be used to detect various disorders, such as:
The basic blood count also includes the measurement of the blood platelet count, also known as thrombocytes (B-Trom), which are required in stopping a bleed (haemostasis).
You can eat and drink normally prior to the sampling, and the test does not need to be performed at a certain time of the day.
The laboratory test includes blood sampling at the Mehiläinen clinic of your choice as well as the results and recommendations on further actions.
The results of the laboratory test are recorded in OmaMehiläinen. The results are usually available within a few days of sample collection.
In your test results, you can see your values and the reference values of the tests included in the basic blood count. If necessary, your physician will review your test results in more detail with you, as an individual treatment plan is always important – simply comparing the results to the reference values is not enough when planning treatment or further examinations.
The prices of further actions will be determined in accordance with the recommendations made separately. If you come to the test without a referral, we recommend that you book an appointment with a physician after the results have come back so that you can get an interpretation of your results and instructions on further actions. You can easily enquire about the results at Digital Clinic or by booking an appointment with a physician through OmaMehiläinen, our online appointment booking service or by calling Mehiläinen’s customer service on +358 (0)10 414 00 (local network rate/mobile charge).
If you had a referral for the test, recommendations on further actions and a physician’s interpretation of the results are usually included automatically.
Total leukocyte or white blood cell count in the blood.
Reference values:
Haemoglobin, which measures the haemoglobin level in the blood.
Reference values:
Haematocrit, which measures the proportion of red blood cells in the blood.
Reference values:
Erythrocyte or red blood cell count in the blood.
Reference values:
E-RDW measures the red blood cell distribution width.
Reference values:
Mean red blood cell haemoglobin mass.
Reference values:
Mean haemoglobin concentration in red blood cells.
Reference values:
Blood platelet count.
Reference values:
Increased white blood cell count (B-Leuk) may be due to various circumstances that do not involve an illness. For example, pregnancy, physical or mental stress, eating, smoking or a cortisone medication can increase the white blood cell count. Inflammations caused by viral and bacterial infections, in particular, are known to increase the white blood cell count temporarily.
Malignant blood disorders, such as leukaemia, can make the white blood cell count very high. If the white blood cell count is very low, however, the risk of infections increases significantly. If there are any inexplicable anomalies detected in the B-Leuk test, a differential white blood cell count can be performed with a complete blood count test (TVK).
The basic blood count also includes the measurement of the blood platelet count, also known as thrombocytes (B-Trom), which are required in stopping a bleed (haemostasis). Inflammations caused by viral and bacterial infections, medications and excessive alcohol consumption that disrupts the functionality of bone marrow can have a temporary effect on the blood platelet count.
If the blood platelet count is considerably low (thrombocytopaenia), a risk of haemorrhaging may be present. A minor decrease in the blood platelet count cannot cause any haemorrhaging; there are other factors in the blood that have a coagulative effect.
