Is there really a need to endure the bloodletting jab? Simply put, \u201cyes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Your bloodwork reveals important information about your health. Even if you believe you are in good health, bloodwork can identify potential health risks when they are most easily treated and help track changes in your health over time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBlood tests can provide valuable information about your overall health and well-being,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/jonathan-shulman-msn\">Jonathan Shulman, MSN, APN, FNP-C<\/a>, a primary care advanced practice nurse with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/cooper-care-alliance?gclid=Cj0KCQjwnbmaBhD-ARIsAGTPcfWnyYy3g-wO0F1EkxWbaDuZJGfgTvgolvQnk1MTxrAvTFDDcfai-WQaAmwxEALw_wcB\">Cooper Care Alliance<\/a>. \u201cBy keeping track of your results over time, you and your doctor will have an easier time noticing changes that may signal a health problem.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>What is baseline bloodwork?<\/h3>\n<p>Baseline bloodwork is a term used to describe a set of blood tests that provide a reference point on key health metrics for future comparison. These standard tests are generally ordered when you see a new doctor or have a physical exam.<\/p>\n<h3>What tests are included?<\/h3>\n<p>Your health care provider may order a variety of blood tests, each of which provides different information about your health. Standard blood tests include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Complete blood count (CBC):<\/strong> Measures the levels of different types of cells in your blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. This information can help to diagnose or rule out a number of conditions, such as anemia, infection, and leukemia.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chemistry panel:<\/strong> Measures the levels of different components in your blood, including glucose, electrolytes, lipids, enzymes, and proteins. The results of a chemistry panel can provide information about your liver and kidney function as well as your overall metabolism.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lipid panel (cholesterol panel):<\/strong> Measures the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in your blood. High cholesterol and triglyceride levels can increase your risk of heart disease and stroke.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Blood Sugar Test:<\/strong> Measures the glucose level in your blood, which helps to diagnose or monitor diabetes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Your doctor may also request other tests if you are starting a new medication or experiencing new or unusual symptoms. Other blood tests that a doctor might order include an A1C test, which measures blood sugar levels, or a thyroid panel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost people don\u2019t think very much about their thyroid, but the hormones it produces help control many vital functions,\u201d Shulman says. \u201cThe thyroid panel measures the levels of different hormones produced by the gland to determine whether it\u2019s functioning properly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The A1C test measures blood sugar levels. This helps patients with diabetes monitor how well their condition is controlled. This test is also ordered to check for pre-diabetes, so individuals can take steps to prevent diabetes.<\/p>\n<p>The same routine blood tests are generally recommended for both women and men, however there may be some differences. For example, women may have blood tests related to pregnancy, fertility, and other hormonal changes. They are also more likely to experience thyroid problems and low vitamin D levels. Men are at greater risk for high cholesterol levels, so a physician may order lipid testing earlier in men than for women.<\/p>\n<h3>Do the tests ordered change over time?<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cAs we age, our bodies change in many ways,\u201d Shulman says. \u201cThese changes can affect the results of routine blood tests. For example, older adults are more likely to have a higher risk of heart disease, so a lipid panel may be ordered more frequently.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Other common age-related changes that can affect bloodwork include an increase in triglyceride levels and a decrease in the level of hemoglobin. These shifts can be related to many factors, such as diet, medications, and underlying health conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Some blood tests that are common for older adults include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Prothombin time test (PT) and INR<\/strong> are blood clotting tests for people who take blood thinners.<\/li>\n<li><strong>B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) test<\/strong> &#8211; measures levels of a protein made by your heart and blood vessels. BNP levels are higher than normal when you have heart failure.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ferritin tests<\/strong> helps gauge how much iron your body stores. If your ferritin level is low, it may indicate you have an iron deficiency and may be anemic.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vitamin levels, including B12<\/strong> are a collection of tests that can screen for nutrition or absorption issues along with certain types of anemia. The tests also measure Vitamin D, a significant factor in bone health. Lower than normal levels of B12 may cause fatigue, muscle weakness, intestinal problems, numbness, memory loss, anemia, as well as irreversible nerve damage if left untreated.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How often will my doctor order bloodwork?<\/h3>\n<p>Most health care providers will recommend certain blood tests annually, but those tests may vary depending on your age, health history, and family history. If you have any concerns about your health or if you are experiencing new or unusual symptoms, you should speak with your doctor to see if you may need bloodwork or other testing.<\/p>\n<h3>How can I get my results quickly?<\/h3>\n<p>Having your bloodwork ordered by a Cooper provider means getting your results quickly and easily. Cooper patients will receive the majority of their lab results via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/mycooper\">myCooper<\/a>, with no need to wait for a phone call or letter from your provider.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/my.cooperhealth.org\/MyChart\/Authentication\/Login?\">myCooper<\/a> website (and app) is a secure online tool that connects you to your electronic medical record from the privacy of your home (or phone) at any time, day or night. The user-friendly dashboard allows you to view all of your test results and flags any test results that are out of the normal range so you can follow up with your provider.<\/p>\n<h3>What if the tests show something abnormal?<\/h3>\n<p>If a test comes back with an abnormal result, your doctor may order additional tests to confirm the results. Depending on the nature of the finding, treatment may be necessary. In some cases, follow-up bloodwork may be all that is needed to monitor your health.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRoutine bloodwork is an integral part of preventive health care,\u201d Shulman says. \u201cSo, while rolling up your sleeve for that needlestick may not be something you look forward to, keep in mind that it\u2019s an essential step in maintaining your health.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Get your bloodwork done at Cooper<\/h3>\n<p>If it\u2019s been a year or more since you\u2019ve had routine bloodwork, make an appointment with your primary care provider today.<\/p>\n<p>If you need a new primary care provider close to home with convenient hours, consider choosing a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/primary-care-family-medicine-and-internal-medicine\">Cooper Primary Care<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/cooper-care-alliance\">Cooper Care Alliance<\/a> physician or advanced practice provider.<\/p>\n<p>To make an appointment or for more information call <a href=\"tel:8008266737\">800.8.COOPER<\/a> (<a href=\"tel:8008266737\">800.826.6737<\/a>) or visit our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/primary-care-family-medicine-and-internal-medicine\">website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"espanol\"><\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Los secretos que su an\u00e1lisis de sangre puede revelar<\/h2>\n<p>Es probable que una visita a su proveedor de atenci\u00f3n primaria incluya un viaje al laboratorio para an\u00e1lisis de sangre. \u00bfExiste realmente una necesidad para el jab?

Estas pruebas se ordenan cuando ve a un m\u00e9dico nuevo o se hace un examen f\u00edsico.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00bfQu\u00e9 pruebas est\u00e1n incluidas?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Su proveedor de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica puede solicitar una variedad de an\u00e1lisis de sangre, cada uno de los cuales brinda informaci\u00f3n diferente sobre su salud. Los an\u00e1lisis de sangre est\u00e1ndar incluyen:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Conteo sangu\u00edneo completo (CBC):<\/strong> mide los niveles de diferentes tipos de c\u00e9lulas en la sangre, incluidos los gl\u00f3bulos rojos, los gl\u00f3bulos blancos y las plaquetas. Esta informaci\u00f3n puede ayudar a diagnosticar o descartar una serie de afecciones, como anemia, infecci\u00f3n y leucemia.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Panel de qu\u00edmica:<\/strong> mide los niveles de diferentes componentes en la sangre, incluidos glucosa, electrolitos, l\u00edpidos, enzimas y prote\u00ednas. Los resultados de un panel de qu\u00edmica pueden proporcionar informaci\u00f3n sobre su funci\u00f3n hep\u00e1tica y renal, as\u00ed como sobre su metabolismo general.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Panel de l\u00edpidos (panel de colesterol):<\/strong> mide los niveles de colesterol y triglic\u00e9ridos en la sangre. Los niveles altos de colesterol y triglic\u00e9ridos pueden aumentar el riesgo de enfermedad card\u00edaca y accidente cerebrovascular.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prueba de az\u00facar en la sangre:<\/strong> Mide el nivel de glucosa en la sangre, lo que ayuda a diagnosticar o controlar la diabetes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Su m\u00e9dico tambi\u00e9n puede solicitar otras pruebas si est\u00e1 comenzando un nuevo medicamento o experimenta s\u00edntomas nuevos o inusuales. Otros an\u00e1lisis de sangre que un m\u00e9dico puede ordenar incluyen un panel de tiroides y A1C.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLa mayor\u00eda de las personas no piensa mucho en su tiroides, pero las hormonas que produce ayudan a controlar muchas funciones vitales\u201d, dice Shulman. \u201cEl panel de tiroides mide los niveles de diferentes hormonas producidas por la gl\u00e1ndula para determinar si est\u00e1 funcionando correctamente\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>La prueba A1C mide los niveles de az\u00facar en la sangre. Esto ayuda a los pacientes con diabetes a monitorear qu\u00e9 tan bien se controla su condici\u00f3n. Esta prueba tambi\u00e9n se ordena para detectar prediabetes, de modo que las personas puedan tomar medidas para mantener a raya la diabetes.<\/p>\n<p>Por lo general, se recomiendan los mismos an\u00e1lisis de sangre de rutina tanto para mujeres como para hombres, sin embargo, puede haber algunas diferencias. Por ejemplo, las mujeres pueden hacerse an\u00e1lisis de sangre relacionados con el embarazo, la fertilidad y otros cambios hormonales. Tambi\u00e9n es m\u00e1s probable que experimenten problemas de tiroides y niveles bajos de vitamina D. Los hombres corren un mayor riesgo de niveles altos de colesterol, por lo que un m\u00e9dico puede ordenar una prueba de l\u00edpidos antes en los hombres que en las mujeres.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00bfLas pruebas ordenadas cambian con el tiempo?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cA medida que envejecemos, nuestros cuerpos cambian de muchas maneras\u201d, dice Shulman. \u201cEstos cambios pueden afectar los resultados de los an\u00e1lisis de sangre de rutina. Por ejemplo, los adultos mayores tienen m\u00e1s probabilidades de tener un mayor riesgo de enfermedad card\u00edaca, por lo que es posible que se solicite un panel de l\u00edpidos con mayor frecuencia\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Otros cambios comunes relacionados con la edad que pueden afectar el an\u00e1lisis de sangre incluyen un aumento en los niveles de triglic\u00e9ridos y una disminuci\u00f3n en el nivel de hemoglobina. Estos cambios pueden estar relacionados con muchos factores, como la dieta, los medicamentos y las condiciones de salud subyacentes.<\/p>\n<p>Algunos an\u00e1lisis de sangre que son comunes para los adultos mayores incluyen:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>La prueba del tiempo de protombina (TP) y el INR<\/strong> son pruebas de coagulaci\u00f3n de la sangre para las personas que toman anticoagulantes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prueba de p\u00e9ptido natriur\u00e9tico tipo B (BNP):<\/strong> mide los niveles de una prote\u00edna producida por el coraz\u00f3n y los vasos sangu\u00edneos. Los niveles de BNP son m\u00e1s altos de lo normal cuando tiene insuficiencia card\u00edaca.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Las pruebas de ferritina<\/strong> ayudan a medir la cantidad de hierro que almacena su cuerpo. Si su nivel de ferritina es bajo, puede indicar que tiene una deficiencia de hierro y que puede estar an\u00e9mico.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Los niveles de vitamina, incluida la B12<\/strong>, son una serie de pruebas que pueden detectar problemas de nutrici\u00f3n o absorci\u00f3n junto con ciertos tipos de anemia. Las pruebas tambi\u00e9n miden la vitamina D, un factor significativo en la salud \u00f3sea. Los niveles m\u00e1s bajos de lo normal de B12 pueden causar fatiga, debilidad muscular, problemas intestinales, entumecimiento, p\u00e9rdida de memoria, anemia, as\u00ed como da\u00f1os irreversibles en los nervios si no se tratan.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>\u00bfCon qu\u00e9 frecuencia ordenar\u00e1 mi m\u00e9dico an\u00e1lisis de sangre?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>La mayor\u00eda de los proveedores de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica recomendar\u00e1n ciertos an\u00e1lisis de sangre anualmente, pero esos an\u00e1lisis pueden variar seg\u00fan su edad, historial de salud y antecedentes familiares.
