Basic Blood Count
A basic blood count measures three core values in your blood: hemoglobin, white blood cells and platelets. Together they say something about oxygen transport, immune defence and clotting.
Basophils
Histamine, a substance that promotes allergic reactions, comes in the blood mainly from basophils: white blood cells that take part in allergic reactions.
Blood Type + Rh
A blood type test determines your ABO blood group and Rh factor. Knowing your blood type is essential for safe blood transfusions, organ transplants, and pregnancy planning.
Complete Blood Count (CBC)
A complete blood count tells you in one panel how many red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets your blood holds and how much haemoglobin you have, and for an athlete it is mainly a trend instrument.
Coombs Test (Indirect)
The indirect Coombs test screens for unexpected antibodies in your blood that may react against red blood cells. It is an important test for transfusion safety and prenatal care.
Eosinophils
Eosinophils are white blood cells involved in allergic reactions and the defence against parasites.
Erythrocytes (RBC)
Red blood cells are the oxygen highway for your muscles and tissues.
Haptoglobin
A haptoglobin test measures the level of haptoglobin protein in your blood.
Hematocrit
Your hematocrit value tells you what share of your blood consists of red blood cells, the cells that carry oxygen to your muscles.
Hemoglobin
Hemoglobin is your primary oxygen-delivery molecule and a cornerstone metric for endurance performance.
Hemoglobin Electrophoresis
Hemoglobin electrophoresis is a laboratory technique that separates and identifies different types of hemoglobin in your blood.
Irregular Antibody Screening
An irregular antibody screening test detects unexpected antibodies in your blood that may react against foreign red blood cells.
Leukocyte Differential
A leukocyte differential test measures the relative proportions of different types of white blood cells in your blood.
Leukocytes (WBC)
Your leukocyte count tells you how many white blood cells were flowing through your blood at the moment of the draw, and in someone who trains that number often says more about the last session than about the immune system.
Lymphocytes
Lymphocytes are white blood cells central to your defence against viruses. This is relevant for active people, as intensive training and insufficient recovery can temporarily affect immune defence.
MCH (Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin)
MCH is the average amount of haemoglobin in one red blood cell.
MCHC (Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration)
MCHC is the average concentration of haemoglobin inside your red blood cells.
MCV (Mean Corpuscular Volume)
Your MCV blood value tells you how large your red blood cells are on average, and with that in which direction a low haemoglobin should be investigated.
Monocytes
Your monocyte value tells you how many of these clean-up cells were travelling through your blood towards your tissues at the moment of the draw.
Neutrophils
Neutrophils are the most common white blood cells and your first defence against bacterial infections. This matters for active people, as heavy training load can temporarily affect immune defence.
Platelets (Thrombocytes)
Your platelet count appears on every complete blood count. It reports the platelets in your blood in ×10⁹/l.
RDW
RDW shows how much your red blood cells vary in size. For active people this is valuable, because healthy red blood cells carry oxygen to your muscles.
Reticulocytes
Reticulocytes reveal how rapidly your body is producing fresh red blood cells — a key recovery metric for active individuals.
