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 required for TSH and Free T4. We do recommend taking the sample at a calm time of day.

What is the difference between TSH and Free T4?

TSH is the hormone from the pituitary gland that stimulates the thyroid. Free T4 is the thyroid hormone itself in its active form. The combination gives the most complete picture.

What if I take thyroid medication?

Thyroid medication affects TSH and T4. Please let us know so we can adjust the interpretation accordingly.

What if I want more specific markers?

Through Bloodworks Select you can add markers such as Free T3, TPO antibodies or TG antibodies.

How quickly do I receive my results?

Typically within 2 business days of blood draw.
