Blood is a unique, living liquid tissue composed of cells such as red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma, which essentially consists of various elements like water, salts, proteins, and more. Often, blood is seen as synonymous with life, either as its driving force or its reduction due to loss from a wound, for instance. As part of the circulatory system, blood is an element without which biological functions cannot exist, and thus, the energy of life cannot continue.
Blood serves as the body’s connective and transport tissue. Through it, all organs receive oxygen, hormones, and nutrients they need to function. It also removes waste products from metabolism, which is the process of consuming these elements to sustain life.
Blood transports elements produced in certain organs to others, ensuring the body’s complex biological machinery functions. For example, it captures oxygen from the lungs during respiration and distributes it throughout the body. It then collects the carbon dioxide resulting from the cells’ oxygen consumption and returns it to the lungs for exhalation. Similarly, it distributes nutrients absorbed from food by the intestines and later collects waste from their metabolism, like urea, to transport it to the renal system for excretion through urine. Blood regulates body temperature, contains elements essential for healing injuries, and carries defense mechanisms against harmful agents that attack the body and cause illness.
The significance of analyzing blood to understand a person’s health lies in its characteristics and functions. Being a living liquid tissue that travels through all body organs, transporting essential nutrients and waste, blood is relatively easy to obtain for analysis. It contains comprehensive information about the health status of the individual it belongs to. Any substance in the body, pathogenic agent, metabolic or health imbalance, is visible through blood analysis. Naturally, the more detailed and meticulous the analysis, the more accurate and comprehensive the information about the individual’s health and metabolism.
There are as many blood tests as there are elements needed for metabolism. As mankind has come to understand how organs function and metabolic processes work, detectable, identifiable, and quantifiable analytes have been developed or discovered to assess any organ, system, or metabolic process. However, like any complex process, health assessment can range from basic or general to complex or specialized. Over time and with experience, basic tests have been established as the starting point for evaluating an individual’s health.
Blood is typically analyzed from two basic perspectives: its composition as tissue through a complete blood count, and the components or elements present in it through blood chemistry tests. These tests provide doctors with valuable information to diagnose their patients more accurately.
The best way to determine a patient’s health status is through blood analysis; blood chemistry and complete blood count, which many medical labs currently offer in packages called check-ups. To get reliable blood test results, advanced technology and processes ensuring proper sample handling are essential. Therefore, it’s advisable to visit reputable labs like Certolab San Miguel, which has a certified quality management system under international standards. Otherwise, the risk of obtaining incorrect results can jeopardize health and lead to future complications.
Check-ups are quick and affordable lab tests, usually requiring fasting before sample collection. They are performed through a puncture, typically in the forearm, which can be almost painless when done by a qualified professional. Only doctors have the ability and competence to interpret lab results and provide a conclusive diagnosis.
“We are thrilled to expand our online services,” said a spokesperson for Certolab. “Patients in and around Cuautitlan Izcalli have embraced our digital tools that make accessing our services convenient.”
