The annual blood test is one of the most powerful preventative medicine tools we have today. Often perceived as a simple routine, it actually constitutes a real window into the internal functioning of your body.
Why do an annual blood test?
A blood test makes it possible to detect imbalances or abnormalities well before the first symptoms appear. This is particularly true for silent conditions such as high cholesterol, prediabetes or certain vitamin deficiencies.
- Active prevention: Identify cardiovascular or metabolic risk factors.
- Personalized monitoring: Establish your baseline to compare your results from one year to the next.
- Optimization of vitality: Identify the deficiencies (iron, vitamin D) which affect your daily energy.
The main markers analyzed
A complete assessment generally includes:
1. Blood count (NFS): to evaluate red and white blood cells and platelets (detection of anemia or infections).
2. Lipid assessment: measurement of LDL, HDL cholesterol and triglycerides to assess cardiovascular health.
3. Fasting blood sugar: for early detection of diabetes.
4. Kidney and liver check-ups: to ensure the proper functioning of the kidneys and liver.
