Uncover the insights your body is trying to tell you with the Smartblood Health Check. This comprehensive blood test offers a broad overview of your general health, all from the comfort and privacy of your home, thanks to the revolutionary, virtually pain-free Tasso device. Say goodbye to clinic visits and needle phobia – monitoring your health has never been this easy or comfortable!

The Smartblood Health Check is ideal for anyone looking to proactively manage their health, understand their body's current state, or investigate common symptoms that may indicate underlying imbalances. It's truly amazing that such a wide range of crucial health markers can be assessed with a simple, at-home collection using the gentle Tasso device.

 

What's Included & Why Each Marker Matters for Your Health:

 

Your Smartblood Health Check provides a detailed analysis of 20 key biomarkers, offering a holistic view of your well-being:

  • CRP (C-Reactive Protein):

    • What it is: A protein produced by the liver, which increases in the presence of inflammation in the body.

    • Why it's important to test: Elevated CRP can indicate inflammation from various sources like infection, injury, or chronic diseases. High levels are also associated with an increased risk of heart disease.

       

  • Iron:

    • What it is: A vital mineral essential for red blood cell production, oxygen transport, and energy metabolism.

       

    • Why it's important to test: Both high and low iron levels can be problematic. Low iron (iron deficiency) can lead to anaemia, fatigue, and weakness, while excess iron can damage organs.

       

  • Total Protein:

    • What it is: Measures the total amount of protein in your blood, primarily albumin and globulin.

       

    • Why it's important to test: Reflects your nutritional status and can indicate liver or kidney disease, as proteins are produced in the liver and filtered by the kidneys.

  • Albumin:

    • What it is: The most abundant protein in your blood plasma, produced by the liver. It transports hormones, drugs, and other substances, and helps maintain fluid balance.

       

    • Why it's important to test: Low levels can suggest liver disease, kidney disease, malnutrition, or inflammation.

  • Globulin:

    • What it is: A group of proteins (including antibodies) that play roles in the immune system and liver function.

    • Why it's important to test: Abnormal levels can point to liver disease, kidney disease, autoimmune disorders, or chronic inflammation.

  • Creatinine:

    • What it is: A waste product produced by muscle metabolism, filtered out of the blood by the kidneys.

    • Why it's important to test: Elevated levels can indicate impaired kidney function, as damaged kidneys are less efficient at filtering creatinine.

       

  • eGFR (estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate):

    • What it is: An estimate of how well your kidneys are filtering waste from your blood. Calculated using creatinine levels, age, gender, and sometimes race.

    • Why it's important to test: The best indicator of overall kidney function and is used to detect and stage chronic kidney disease.

  • ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase):

    • What it is: An enzyme primarily found in the liver.

    • Why it's important to test: High levels are a strong indicator of liver damage or disease, as ALT is released into the bloodstream when liver cells are injured.

       

  • ALP (Alkaline Phosphatase):

    • What it is: An enzyme found in the liver, bones, kidneys, and digestive system.

    • Why it's important to test: Elevated levels can suggest liver or bone disorders, or blockages in the bile ducts.

  • Gamma GT (Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase):

    • What it is: An enzyme found in the liver and bile ducts.

    • Why it's important to test: Often used to detect liver disease, especially those related to bile duct issues or alcohol consumption. It's a sensitive marker for liver problems.

  • Total Bilirubin:

    • What it is: A yellowish pigment formed from the breakdown of red blood cells. It's processed by the liver and excreted.

    • Why it's important to test: High levels can cause jaundice (yellowing of the skin/eyes) and indicate liver disease, bile duct obstruction, or excessive red blood cell destruction.

  • Cholesterol:

    • What it is: A waxy, fat-like substance found in all cells of your body, essential for building healthy cells.

    • Why it's important to test: High total cholesterol levels are a risk factor for heart disease.

       

  • HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein):

    • What it is: Often called "good" cholesterol, HDL helps remove excess cholesterol from your arteries.

       

    • Why it's important to test: Higher HDL levels are generally protective against heart disease.

  • Triglycerides:

    • What it is: A type of fat found in your blood, used for energy.

       

    • Why it's important to test: High levels, especially in combination with high LDL or low HDL, can increase your risk of heart disease and pancreatitis.

  • LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein):

    • What it is: Often called "bad" cholesterol, LDL contributes to the buildup of plaque in your arteries.

       

    • Why it's important to test: High LDL levels significantly increase your risk of heart disease and stroke.

       

  • Cholesterol: HDL Ratio:

    • What it is: The ratio of your total cholesterol to your HDL cholesterol.

    • Why it's important to test: This ratio is considered a better predictor of heart disease risk than total cholesterol alone, as it accounts for the balance between "good" and "bad" cholesterol.

       

  • TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone):

    • What it is: A hormone produced by the pituitary gland that stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones.

       

    • Why it's important to test: The primary screening test for thyroid disorders; abnormal levels can indicate an underactive (hypothyroidism) or overactive (hyperthyroidism) thyroid.

  • Active Vitamin B12:

    • What it is: A crucial vitamin for nerve function, red blood cell formation, and DNA synthesis.

       

    • Why it's important to test: Deficiency can lead to fatigue, weakness, nerve damage, and cognitive issues, symptoms that can easily be mistaken for other conditions.

  • Vitamin D (25-OH):

    • What it is: A fat-soluble vitamin essential for bone health, immune function, and overall well-being.

    • Why it's important to test: Widespread deficiency can impact bone density, immune response, mood, and increase the risk of various chronic diseases.

  • Folate:

    • What it is: A B vitamin (B9) necessary for cell growth, red blood cell production, and DNA formation.

    • Why it's important to test: Deficiency can lead to anemia, fatigue, and neurological problems. It's particularly important for cell division and repair.
