A laboratory report can look dense at first glance. Here is how to read the essentials.

Common markers

  1. Full blood count — looks at red cells, white cells and platelets.
  2. HbA1c — shows your average blood sugar over recent months.
  3. Lipid profile — checks cholesterol and related fats.

Always discuss results with your clinician. A RayBen officer can explain turnaround times when you book.
