Even if you feel well, each of us should have regular blood tests appropriate for our age group. We must remember that many diseases can progress without any symptoms. A blood test enables early detection of diseases, offers greater treatment possibilities, and often helps avoid advanced methods (e.g., surgery). Patients often go for blood tests with a referral from their doctor, but you can also go on your own without a referral, which we highly encourage you to do. OrtoGo Medical Centre offers tests in three locations: laboratory tests in Warsaw Wola, Warsaw Praga, and Płock - check the price list..

Laboratory tests involve determining the composition and other parameters of the blood or other material collected from the patient by medical staff. For the convenience of our patients, we have prepared two options for receiving results. You can collect your blood test results in person at our Medical Centres in paper form or receive an electronic version through our online portal. Tests at OrtoGo facilities are carried out in cooperation with one of the leading laboratory diagnostics providers in Poland, the renowned Synevo Laboratory in Warsaw. When interpreting the results, pay attention to the reference values provided by the laboratory. Results should be consulted with a specialist doctor, who will decide on further diagnostic and treatment procedures.

A urinalysis allows for the analysis of abnormalities in the body's metabolic processes. It is often also ordered in kidney and urinary tract diseases. A urinalysis involves assessing its physical characteristics (colour, smell, reaction, specific gravity, and transparency) as well as a microscopic evaluation of the sediment.

The results of laboratory tests depend on several factors, such as age, sex, body mass, lifestyle, daily diet, stimulants, time of day, biological rhythms (e.g., the menstrual cycle in women), pregnancy, or medications taken. Sometimes a blood test requires you to come to the clinic on an empty stomach (e.g., for cholesterol or glucose level testing).

Blood test - full blood count

The most basic test is a blood count, which each of us should do once a year. A blood count is a cheap and very important test that helps control the state of the body and detect many diseases at an early stage. Besides basic count, which is the most frequently performed test in laboratories, we must also remember other, more detailed tests. You can have blood count and other necessary tests done at our Blood Collection Points in Warsaw and Płock.

Blood group test

A blood group is determined based on a sample of the patient's venous blood. By examining the serum, we can identify the presence of antigens (both A and B, as well as Rh). A blood group test is mandatory before surgeries and blood transfusions, when planning a pregnancy (to check the compatibility of the mother's and child's blood groups). It is also necessary before a transplant and if you are becoming a blood donor. You can have blood tests done at our points in Warsaw and Płock.

How to prepare for a blood test?

Are you going to go through a blood test?

We have prepared a few tips for you on how to prepare properly:

• Come on an empty stomach, do not eat anything before the test.
• To avoid disrupting the results, have dinner the night before 2-3 hours before going to bed. It should not be too sweet or too fatty. We recommend having a light dinner, such as two slices of whole grain rye bread with lean cold cuts and vegetables or a salad based on fresh vegetables with grilled poultry and dark bread.
• Discontinue any supplements and herbs you are taking 3 to 5 days before the test.
• Do not drink alcohol the day before the test and refrain from drinking coffee (a maximum of one cup of coffee is recommended).
• However, it is worth ensuring your body is hydrated before the test. Drinking about 2 litres of water the previous day will help maintain proper blood fluidity.
• Avoid intense physical activity the day before your visit.

Most Popular laboratory tsts

At OrtoGo, always aiming to improve the quality of life and health, we promote health and encourage our patients to undergo regular check-ups. Below, we have prepared a list of the most frequently chosen tests by our visiting patients. All tests can be carried out at the Blood Collection Point available in each of our clinics.

Total blood count

Total blood count is one of the most basic blood tests prescribed for diagnostic purposes. To monitor our health, regardless of age, everyone should have it done at least once a year. Blood count involves the quantitative and qualitative assessment of various blood components responsible for the overall functioning of the body. By evaluating individual elements of our blood, many conditions can be quickly diagnosed, such as blood diseases, anemia, and inflammatory states.

Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR)

The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is a test that measures the rate at which red blood cells settle in plasma. If there is an inflammatory state in your body, protein levels increase. This protein causes red blood cells to have a higher tendency to stack together, resulting in faster sedimentation. An elevated ESR level may indicate bacterial infection, inflammatory disease (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis), severe anemia caused by iron and vitamin B12 deficiency, chronic kidney inflammation, or cancer. A low ESR level can indicate sickle cell anemia, certain allergies, jaundice, or even chronic heart failure.

Blood glucose level

Blood glucose level testing is part of a group of preventive tests, particularly for individuals at increased risk of developing diabetes, such as those who are obese or come from families with a history of diabetes. Indications for testing include symptoms like constant fatigue, weakness, chronic infections, general malaise, intense hunger, persistent anxiety, and accelerated heart rate. This test is also performed in diagnosing and treating patients with carbohydrate metabolism disorders (diabetes, neonatal hypoglycemia, idiopathic hypoglycemia) and in monitoring diabetes treatment.

Lipid profile

Among the essential tests, it's important to remember cholesterol. Elevated levels indicate a risk of coronary heart disease and atherosclerosis. Conversely, low values may appear in cases such as liver failure or hyperthyroidism.

Urinalysis

Urinalysis is one of the most fundamental and crucial tests that can provide significant insights into your health status. The primary indications for this test include kidney disorders, urinary tract diseases, systemic diseases, obesity, hypertension, and diabetes.

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)

Measuring TSH levels is an extremely important diagnostic tool used to assess the metabolic state of the thyroid gland. Thyroid stimulating hormone is produced by the pituitary gland (an endocrine gland), and changes in its levels are associated with changes in the levels of hormones secreted by the thyroid gland. Indications for measuring TSH levels include suspicion of thyroid disorders, sudden weight loss (despite regular eating habits), irregular heartbeat, constipation, weight gain, skin changes, deteriorating nail and hair condition, and diagnosing infertility in women. Due to the diurnal variation in TSH secretion, measuring thyroid stimulating hormone levels should ideally be done in the morning.

CRP (C Reactive Protein, białko ostrej fazy)

CRP is one of the acute phase proteins, meaning that its elevated levels in the blood can indicate developing inflammation in the body. The concentration of CRP is influenced by various factors such as age, sex, current season, and daily physical activity. One of the undeniable advantages of this test is its quick turnaround time and low cost relative to its high sensitivity in detecting inflammatory conditions, which is why it is often used in hospital practice. A significantly elevated CRP level, deviating from the norm, may indicate a heart attack, severe bacterial infection, or cancer. Slightly elevated acute phase protein may indicate mild inflammation, viral disease, or accompany colds or dental diseases. Elevated CRP levels always require consultation with a doctor and further diagnosis.

Ionogram (electrolyte level measurement)

Electrolytes are ions commonly found in the human body. An ionogram is a test that measures the levels of electrolytes to assess the body's water-electrolyte balance. This test is commonly used in the treatment of conditions such as hypertension, kidney, and liver diseases. The ionogram evaluates the levels of the following electrolytes: sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, magnesium, and phosphates. An ionogram is a test worth performing if you notice: frequently occurring abnormal blood pressure, irregular heart rhythm, swelling of the lower limbs, fainting, dizziness, increased irritability, and nervous excitability.

To facilitate the execution of all necessary tests, Blood Collection Points are available in each of our facilities. You can find Blood Collection Points at the following locations: Warsaw Wola, Warsaw Praga, Płock.
