About

During our lifetime, there is every probability that we will have at least one blood test, usually arranged by your GP or hospital and you can expect to have more in the future as the NHS increases its focus on employing prevention techniques like scanning and blood tests, which have a proven improvement on outcomes in health management

From a small sample of blood a great deal can be learnt about our current state of health, potential problems and allergies and there are several different blood testing techniques used for different purposes:

Full blood count (FBC), Electronic test, Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), Blood glucose (Blood sugar) test, ELISA test, Blood gas test, Gene Test, Chromosome testings, Genetic screening, Blood typing, Blood cholesterol test, Liver function test, Blood culture  More information on the types of blood tests
