A specific bloods kit specifically for men, to be completed via finger prick test. When you complete your test, you send your blood back to the lab using the kit they provide for processing. Your results are then sent to you via email.
This kit tests for the following levels:
- Full Blood Count
- Iron
- Ferritin
- Vitamin D (25-OH)
- Vitamin B12 (Total)
- Folate (Serum)
- Magnesium (Serum)
- Glycated Haemoglobin
- Sex Hormone Binding Globulin
- C-Reactive Protein (High Sensitivity)
This test builds upon the Basic Bloods Home Kit by including a standard full blood count, Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) and the inflammatory marker C Reactive Protein – (high sensitivity)
A full blood count is a standard broad screening tool for reviewing different parts of the blood, including Red Blood Cell parameters such as anaemia and the immune system’s white blood cells—the cells that help fight off infections.
Bariatric surgery will result in weight loss. However, not all weight loss is the same, as the loss of excess muscle tissue will decrease strength and energy and also undermine the longer-term weight-loss goals. Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) influences the amount of testosterone actively working in the male body, and should the levels rise, it can indicate that your tissues may not be getting enough active testosterone.
CRP (high sensitivity) is a test often used to check for early signs of inflammation and infection. This is important as the usual Nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) used in such events are not recommended after surgery, as there is an increased risk of gastrointestinal concerns. Identifying any inflammatory states earlier can help to reduce such risks.
