Ten Essential Blood Tests
-
Complete blood count
A regular complete blood count (CBC) test assesses the levels of 10 distinct factors of each prominent cell inside your blood: White Blood Cells, Red Blood Cells, or Platelets.
Significant factors assessed by such tests cover Red Blood Cell Count, Hemoglobin, or Hematocrit.
Below is the usual stretch of results:
Component Normal Range
Red blood cells Men: 4.32–5.72 million cells/mcL; Women: 3.90–5.03 million cells/mcL
White blood cells 3,500 to 10,500 cells/mcL
Platelets 150,000 to 450,000/mcL
Hemoglobin Men: 13.5–17.5 grams/deciliter (g/dL); Women: 12.0–15.5 g/dL
Hematocrit Men: 38.8–50.0 percent; Women: 34.9–44.5 percent
Abnormal volumes of such components could signify:
Nutritional Deficiencies, inclusive of vitamin B-6 or B-12
Iron Deficiency
Bone Marrow Issues
Tissue Inflammation
Infection
Heart Conditions
Cancer
Depending on your results, your doctor could demand follow-up tests for double-checking abnormal levels, then form, deliver a possible diagnosis.
-
Basic metabolic panel
The basic metabolic panel (BMP) examines the levels of specific compounds within the blood, inclusive of:
Electrolytes
Calcium
Glucose
Sodium
Potassium
Carbon Dioxide
Chloride

Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT)
Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST)

Some similar inferences may be concluded from the CMP, compared to BMP for some similar substances which the BMP includes. More abnormal levels could then indicate underlying conditions, inclusive of:
High levels Low levels
ALP • Bile Duct Blockage

- Gallbladder Inflammation
- Gallstones
- Hepatitis
- Paget’s Disease • Bone Metabolism Disorders

| Review 1 | Came here to bring my helper for her statutory medical x-ray. If you go to their website, you can tell that there’s a list of services that don’t require appointment & can just walk-in, including these statutory checks.
We came in on a Friday morning & didn’t wait long at all for registration and the x-ray. Staff were friendly enough that we overall had a straightforward & quick experience. Price for x-ray was also reasonable: within $20 range. Don’t forget to bring doctor referral letters and helper’s IC. |
| Review 2 | Went there for health screening in early January. Initially was a bit apprehensive due to the negative reviews here. But I was pleasantly surprised by the politeness and professionalism of the nurses there.One of them told me that it is usually very crowded during June and December because many people wanted to do health screening at that time. Understandably, when the crowd is huge and they only have one nurse per station, people will get a bit stressed. That may be the cause of bad reviews.
Try to come on weekdays to avoid the crowd! |
| Review 3 | It was a very nice place for a medical checkup. It is located near shopping malls and famous landmarks of Jurong East. The waiting time for the clinic is a bit longer than expected but it is well worth it. The medical staff was very professional and that the doctor was very knowledgeable. The medical costs are quite manageable and they accept CHAS and the Pioneer Generation card here.
This clinic also provides many services, from health checkup to vaccinations and X ray scans. This clinic provides a good cover for the basic medical needs of the area. |

| Review 1 | An excellent experience at a top notch facility.Went down for a pre-employment medical and attended to without any prior appointment required.
Front desk nurses were friendly and accommodating. The doctor on duty was pleasant and friendly. Had an X-Ray, Urine, blood test and consult done just about an hour. * Genuinely don’t know why this place gets such poor reviews. I’d gladly give them a solid 5 stars 👍🏼 |
| Review 2 | I had two consultations with different GP and overall my experience was very pleasant. Reception was so kind to arrange female doctor for me and none of doctors required me any unnecessary test and it was totally up to my decision. I was even surprised that my prescription was just one tablet (unlikely other clinic) for my coughing and I fully recovered. I understand that some people could have had bad experience but just wanna say there must be patients like me too. Please do not hesitate asking the cost of your treatment in advance. |
| Review 3 | Impeccable level of service by the team at Raffles Medical at Shaw Orchard . I was there on 29 January 2021 . Dr Rupert in room 1 was very understanding and informative . Thank you and keep up the great work 👍 |

| Review 1 | I had a CT scan here yesterday, at first I quite worry but the nurse help me keep calm, very good service and professional. The result send via email very fast within 3 hours. High recommended. |
| Review 2 | Lifescan Medical is the only place I do my usual health screenings. I have trypanophobia so I really freak out at the sight of needles. The nurses here are very experienced and I know I’m always well-taken care of.
Today was no different! Xue Li constantly checked on me and there was genuine care and concern. She did not dismiss my fears and even tried her best to ensure that I was doing ok. 🙂 She coordinated to ensure that my husband (who also only does his health screenings here) will be with me during my blood test. Christina from Innoquest helped to draw blood and she was very gentle and caring. She gave specific instructions and constantly gave encouragement. These may seem trivial to some but for someone with genuine fear, I am grateful to these two ladies today. I hope these commendations will be passed on to them. Thank you, Xue Li from Lifescan Medical Paragon and Christina from Innoquest! ❤️ |
| Review 3 | Had an appointment yesterday for the first time at Lifescan Medical Paragon and had a good experience with all the professional staffs who made me feel at ease. Kudos to Charmaine for being so patient with me over the phone, as well as face to face, and also Dr. Jacqueline for being so sweet. Thank you! |

| Review 1 | Went there today to do my screening.. want to give a shout out to the clinic staff Christine who helped me to draw my blood and guided me throughout the process.All the other staff was also very attentive to my needs. Making sure i was feeling fine. There was also a senior lady who was standing there who ensured i was alright during the entire process.
I didn’t spend much money at the clinic as i opted for only a simple health screening to check my thyroid function but they still took very good care of me. |
| Review 2 | Came down for my check up as recommended by a friend as I heard good feedback. Generally, the place specializes in health screening. Overall the process was quick and hassle with good pricing for screening. Would also like to give a commendation to the staff there that took my blood!!
She was very attentive to my veins and also took her time ensure that it was found (as i have small veins or runny-veins) lol. I also managed to draw my blood in one-try! compared to last time where at the hospital level i took 2 tries usually.. Also everyone was polite and service was definitely efficient! Good job. Will definitely recommend to my friends. |
| Review 3 | Went there for health screening as recommended by a friend as her company had arranged one for her at the clinic.
I enjoyed it as the staff there was patient in explaining to me all the processes. It made me feel more comfortable as usually medical things can be quite ‘chim’ to a lay person. Overall process is also fast. No long waiting time even during peak period. Also the prices are much better than compared to the other places i’ve been to. Report and results are quick as well and comes fully explained. Have arrange for my parents for a session next week. |

Called parkway ambulance to get me into a&e. Service is top notch ! There’s even a butler to meet all my needs here There’s a complimentary Limousine service back home after I discharge! Thank you so much !! |
| Review 2 | I would like to commend the front desk of Mount E Novena Hospital. My gift hamper meant for a patient was delayed and hence the patient had already been discharged by the time the hamper had arrived. The front desk took the blame of not checking if the patient was still in the hospital when receiving the hamper to be brought up to the room (due to COVID-19 restrictions the agents could not bring the hamper up themselves). As such, the front desk took initiative and said that they will deliver the hamper themselves via Grab to the patient’s home. I was very impressed with this as I felt the front desk should not have taken all the blame as well, as we had specifically told the florist that if the delivery was past 11am, to re-route the delivery to the home address provided instead. Good job guys! |
| Review 3 | my stay there did not feel like a hospital stay as it was so comfortable and pleasant. the hospital was clean, the staff were so helpful, efficient, always cheerful, empathetic and simply fantastic. |

| Review 2 | We booked an appointment for 2. Booking online for this homebased health screening was very easy. Reminders were sent to us earlier to remind us to fast.

| Review 1 | Honestly no idea why reviews have been so terrible. The staff, nurses and doctors are some of the nicest sweetest people i have ever met. Yes, getting an appointment was a little challenging because you can’t walk in, phone calls don’t work and their online form is broken but emailing them worked just fine and someone got back to me within one working day. Only downside is that tests take a little longer than private clinics but you’re also not paying hundreds of dollars so *shrugs* seems reasonable. |
| Review 2 | I came here for a health check-up after going through a traumatizing attack by the instructor in the Trust Yoga saga. I was truly impressed by how sensitive and empathetic the doctor was throughout the consultation. The nurse was so sweet and caring too! She even offered me a drink when she saw that I was nervous about the tests. They really put in effort to make me feel comfortable and at ease. |

| Review 1 | Modern hospital with large window near the bed. Food is superb. Agreed by all 4 patients in the room 😋 |
| Review 2 | I had a very good experience here. All staff, from pre-registration to check-out were extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I can’t remember the last time I had such a perfect experience.
The hospital is modern, has a feel-good hotel feeling and is super clean. The food was nice with a good choice even for me as a vegan. There is one critique I have: Upon registration, one is asked to provide credit card details on a hard copy. I am sure they are treating this data with upmost care, but really there are better, safer ways to store this data. All in all: 10 stars out of 5. If you need a hospital in Singapore, this is the one. |
| Review 3 | Did my endosopy here. The hospital looks posh and clean… staff in the endoscopy unit were not very experienced IMO but they are very friendly and willing to solve your problems. |

| Review 1 | Dr Reginald Tang was very professional. Waiting time was short. Overall a pleasant experience |
| Review 2 | Dr Kwek is very nice and understanding. It was new year eve and the clinic is suppose to close early. Though busy, i only waited for a few minutes. |
| Review 3 | Definitely one of the best clinic i have even been too. Many doctors out there work just for the sake of making money. But Dr Quak goes all out not only in giving the right medication, he even goes all out to advice regarding food and nutrition . |

Lipid panel
This exam assesses levels of 2 versions of cholesterol Trusted Source:
high-density lipoprotein (HDL), or “good” cholesterol
low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or “bad” cholesterol
HDL is “good” as this cuts toxic substances over from blood and assists the liver to break these down to waste.
LDL is “bad” as it often causes plaque to start growing in the arteries, raising the possibility of one’s developing cardiac illness as an undesired consequence.
-
Thyroid panel
The thyroid panel, or thyroid function test, assesses how competently the thyroid is generating and responding to specific hormones, inclusive of:
Triiodothyronine (T3). Together with T4, this moderates the heart pulse or body warmth.
T3 resin uptake (RU). This assesses how competently a hormone named thyroxin-binding globulin gets bound.
Thyroxine (T4). Together with T3, this moderates the metabolism and levels of growth.
Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). This assists regulation of levels of hormones the thyroid exhausts.
The thyroid, the tiny gland in the neck, facilitates regulating bodily functions inclusive of mood, energy level, or total metabolism.

These get utilized inside the body for major vital functions. Abnormal enzyme levels may indicate multiple distinct conditions.
Common enzymes tested include:
Creatine phosphokinase (CPK-1). These are in the lungs or brain. High levels may indicate some brain damage or Cancer.
CPK-2 (CK-MB). Such enzymes get located in the heart. These regularly multiply within the blood following a cardiac arrest or alternative heart damage.
CPK-3. These enzymes are alternatively located within the heart. These regularly originate from muscle inflammation, damage, or heavy exercise.

Coagulation tests assess how well the blood clots or how much time lapses for the blood to clot.
Examples cover the Prothrombin Time (PT) Test or Fibrinogen Activity Test.
Clotting refers to important processes which help you halt bleeding upon getting cut or wounded.
Still a clot in the vein or artery may turn lethal, blocking blood flow through to brain, heart, or lungs, subsequently causing heart attack and strokes.
