How to read blood test results 1

What is a blood test?

Blood testing is the process of examining and analyzing the components, characteristics and functions of a blood sample to evaluate health and diagnose diseases. Through blood tests, important parameters and indicators are measured and evaluated, including:

Red blood cell count: A blood test can determine the number of red blood cells in a blood sample. An abnormal number of red blood cells may indicate problems such as anemia, blood diseases, or other disorders.

White blood cell count: Blood tests can measure white blood cell count, including white blood cell types such as total white blood cells, lymphoid cells, and granulocytes. Abnormal white blood cell counts can be a sign of infection, inflammation, or other conditions.

Leukocyte analysis: Blood tests can analyze types of white blood cells by percentage and evaluate the immune function of the body’s system.

Platelet count and ratio: Blood tests can measure platelet count and ratio, which is one of the important indicators to evaluate kidney function.

Hemoglobin level: A blood test can measure the amount of hemoglobin, a substance found in red blood cells that helps transport oxygen in the body. Abnormal hemoglobin levels can be a sign of anemia.

Blood clotting time: Blood tests can measure blood clotting time to check the function of the blood clotting system in the body.

Chemical indicators: Blood tests can also measure chemical indicators such as blood sugar levels, cholesterol, liver function, kidney function and other indicators to evaluate overall health.

The most accurate way to read blood test results

To read the most accurate blood test results, pay attention to the following units and indicators:

Glu (Glucose): Sugar in the blood

Glu (Glucose) The reference range is from 4.1 – 5.9 mmol/l.

As a result, there will be 2 cases:

– If it is outside the allowable reference range: It means you have hypoglycemia.

– If it increases beyond the allowable reference range: It means you are at risk of diabetes or glucose tolerance/metabolism disorder.

SGOT & SGPT: Liver enzyme group

SGOT & SGPT: Liver enzyme group Normal ranges are 9.0 – 48.0 for SGOT and 5.0 – 49.0 for SGPT.

As you know, the liver has an important function in detoxifying the body’s organs. When receiving results, there will be 2 possibilities:

– If the enzyme index increases, it can be a sign of liver cell damage due to inflammation, fibrosis, cancer, etc.

– If the enzyme index decreases, it can be a warning sign of diabetes, pregnancy, Beriberi, etc.

When this limit is exceeded, liver function is impaired. Therefore, you should control foods and drinks that are difficult for the liver to absorb, alcohol, etc.

Blood fat group: Cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL-Cholesterol (HDL-C), LDL-Cholesterol (LDL-C)

– Reference range of blood cholesterol <5.2 mmol/l (for adults) and <4.4.2 mmol/l (for children).
– The reference range of blood triglycerides is <1.7 mmol/l
– Reference range of HDL-Cholesterol 1.03 – 1.55 mmol/l
– The reference range of LDL-Cholesterol is ≤ 3.4 mmol/l

When you receive results that are outside the reference range above, it means you have a high risk of heart disease and blood pressure.

– With HDL-Cholesterol test: It is believed to reflect cholesterol transport from atherosclerotic plaques.

– With LDL-Cholesterol test: It reflects bad cholesterol because LDL cholesterol increases in the blood leading to deposition in blood vessel walls, causing atherosclerotic plaques. This leads to dangerous and life-threatening diseases such as myocardial infarction, stroke, etc.

GGT: Gamma Glutamyl Transferase

GGT: Gamma Glutamyl Transferase Reference range of GGT in blood: from 0-55 U/L.

GGT is an enzyme that plays a role in metabolizing amino acids and regulating the amount of glutathione in the body. This is also the first enzyme affected when diseases occur in the liver and biliary tract. GGT testing helps rule out some hepatobiliary diseases.

Urea (Blood Urea)

Urea (Blood Urea) The reference range of blood urea is: 2.5 – 7.5 mmol/l.

Urea is synthesized in the liver in the Krebs cycle and is the most important product of nitrogen metabolism. Blood urea concentration depends on three factors: kidney function, electrolyte balance and endogenous protein catabolism.

BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen) is the nitrogen portion of urea with a reference range of 8 – 24 mg/dL equivalent to 2.86 – 8.57 mmol/L (men) and 6 – 21 mg/dl equivalent to 2.14 – 7.50 mmol/L for women.

Cre (Creatinine)

Cre (Creatinine) Reference range of blood creatinine:

Men from 74 – 120, women from 53 – 100 (umol/l).

Cre is an excretion product of creatine phosphate degradation in muscle, the amount formed depends on muscle mass, this substance is returned to the circulation. In the kidney, Cre is filtered through the glomerulus and is not reabsorbed by the renal tubules and is excreted in the urine. Therefore, the cre component is the most stable protein component regardless of diet and reflects the patient’s kidney function.

– If blood Cre increases in: Easily causes kidney disease, heart failure, diabetes,…

– If blood Cre decreases in: Pregnant women, eclampsia, malnutrition, etc.

Uric (Uric Acid)

Uric (Uric Acid) Reference range of blood uric acid:

Men from 180 – 420, women from 150 – 360 (umol/l).

Uric is a product of purine base metabolism of nucleic acids, eliminated mainly through urine and a small part through the digestive tract.

– If uric acid in the blood increases: Can warn of diseases such as obesity, hydrops, psoriasis, kidney failure, etc.

– If blood uric acid decreases: Can warn of diseases such as Wilson’s disease, antidiuretic hormone syndrome, Falconi syndrome,…

Immune results

– Anti-HBs test

The Anti-HBs test checks the body’s immunity to the hepatitis virus, determining the level of antibodies against the hepatitis B virus. Please note:

  • If you have been vaccinated against hepatitis B or have been infected with the hepatitis B virus and recovered, your body will produce hepatitis B antibodies against the virus and the anti-HBs test will show a positive result.
  • If hepatitis B antibodies are strong (100-1000 UI/ml), there is no need to worry about disease prevention. But if the antibodies are weak (0-10 UI/ml), the possibility of hepatitis B is very high.

– HBsAg

Hepatitis B surface Antigen is the surface antigen of virus B. The results will tell you whether you are infected with virus B or not. The reference range for this test in the blood is negative.

Red blood cell count (RBC)

Red blood cell count (RBC) The normal state in men is 4.2 – 5.4 Tera/L and in women is 4.0 – 4.9 Tera/L.
