Vanuit de sportschool geattendeerd op Bloodworks en heel tevreden. Bloedonderzoek online besteld en kon direct terecht bij een lab in de buurt. Kreeg het labformulier per e-mail en na het prikken de resultaten met uitleg ontvangen. Kom hier zeker vaker terug!

Ik heb eerder onderzoeken laten uitvoeren door andere organisaties, maar Bloodworks steekt daar met afstand bovenuit. De snelle service, het persoonlijke contact en de transparantie hebben ervoor gezorgd dat ik al mijn vervolgonderzoeken hier laat uitvoeren.

Na geregeld duizelig te voelen ben ik langs geweest bij Bloodworks voor een bloedtest, snelle service en super snel uitslag gekregen! Advies gekregen van de specialisten om een aantal waardes aan te vullen, en daadwerkelijk geen last meer van mijn klachten. Super dankbaar, vakkundig en bekwaam.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to fast?

Fasting is not strictly required for Lipoprotein(a) and Apolipoprotein B. If combined with a lipid panel, we do recommend fasting.

What is Lipoprotein(a)?

Lipoprotein(a) is a largely hereditary particle that can raise the risk of cardiovascular disease, independent of your cholesterol. It is usually a one-off measurement.

What does Apolipoprotein B add to cholesterol?

Apolipoprotein B counts the number of risk-bearing particles rather than only the amount of cholesterol. This can give a finer picture of your risk.

Do I combine this with the Cholesterol panel?

Yes. The Cholesterol panel gives the standard lipid picture; Heart & Vessels Extra adds hereditary and fine-grained risk. Together they form a complete cardiovascular picture.

How quickly do I receive my results?

Typically within a few working days of blood draw.
