Multitest for common diseases and deficiency conditions
Are you feeling tired, sluggish and generally low? Then our Stora Hälsokollen combination package may be something for you.
Stora Hälsokollen includes iron deficiency tests, thyroid tests, vitamin D tests, liver tests, CPR tests, as well as tests for diabetes and blood in stool. All tests are performed conveniently and easily from home.
The iron deficiency test shows whether you have low levels of ferritin, the body's iron stores. If you have a low ferritin value, it means that you are suffering from iron deficiency, which in the long term can lead to a low hemoglobin value and the risk of impaired oxygen uptake and performance.
The thyroid test shows if your thyroid is underactive, if you have so-called Hypothyroidism. This is quite common and in fact, thyroid problems are often called our "hidden disease". It can be difficult to detect a thyroid disease based solely on its symptoms as the most common symptoms are very general.
The vitamin D test detects low levels of vitamin D. Vitamin D deficiency is a very common deficiency condition, especially for those of us who live in the northern parts of Europe.
The liver test shows whether your liver produces abnormally high levels of ALT and AST, which are specific liver enzymes. Elevated levels can be a sign of liver damage and/or liver disease, and can be caused by, for example, excessive alcohol consumption. Certain medications can also cause elevated levels.
CRP test shows if you have an ongoing infection in the body, and is also known as "taking the dip". It is one of the most common tests performed in health centers and emergency care. Note that an infection is not a disease but a condition, however, it is a clear sign that something is not right.
The diabetes test is a simple urine test that reacts to glucose and ketones in urine. These parameters are used together in the diagnosis of diabetes.
This test detects the presence of blood in the stool. It is often due to hemorrhoids, which can cause minor bleeding, but blood in the stool can also be a sign of a serious illness and should always be investigated. The cause of invisible blood in the stool should always be investigated by a doctor. Fact-checked 2022-06-11 by
