Good to know

Benefits and limitations of blood testing

A blood test offers valuable insight into your health, but it also has limitations. We set out both honestly, so you can make a well-considered choice.

Benefits

  • Early signals: deviations can become visible before you notice symptoms.
  • A complete picture in one draw: key values clearly together.
  • Interpreted by a doctor: you get context with your results, not just numbers.
  • Track your health over time: repeat easily and see changes.
  • Accessible: no referral needed, a draw at 800+ locations.

Points to consider

  • An abnormal value does not always mean something is wrong; sometimes it is normal for you or a recheck is needed.
  • A normal result does not rule out every condition.
  • Some findings may lead to unnecessary worry or follow-up testing.
  • A blood test is a snapshot in time and does not replace a medical diagnosis.
  • Do you have symptoms or doubts? Always discuss these with a doctor.

We value honest information. For independent information on the benefits and limitations of health tests, we are glad to refer you to the Dutch RIVM, pros and cons of health tests.

Veelgestelde vragen

Alles wat u wilt weten

Do I need to fast?

Fasting is not strictly required for this package, but we recommend having your blood drawn in the morning for the most stable picture.

What does the Helicobacter pylori IgG test detect?

This measurement detects antibodies against H. pylori, a bacterium that can cause gastric and bowel problems. A positive result indicates a current or past infection.

What if the Helicobacter pylori result is positive?

Our doctor provides explanation and context. With a positive result, follow-up testing by your GP is usually recommended to confirm active infection and discuss possible treatment.

What if I have had H. pylori treatment?

Antibodies can remain positive for years after successful treatment. To check whether the bacterium has been eradicated, a breath test or stool test is more reliable than the IgG measurement.

Is this package suitable for serious complaints?

For serious or acute complaints (such as severe abdominal pain, blood in the stool, or unexplained weight loss), we advise consulting your GP first.

What if I want more specific bowel tests?

For extensive bowel investigations (such as microbiome, parasites, or calprotectin), specialist tests exist that we do not yet offer.

What if my values are abnormal?

Our doctor provides explanation and context for your result. You can use the report for your own insight or bring it to your GP.

How quickly do I receive my results?

Typically within 2 business days of blood draw.
