What does the health check measure?
Blood lipids
Total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides provide a basic overview of blood lipids and are used alongside other risk factors to assess cardiovascular health.
Long-term blood sugar
HbA1c reflects the average blood sugar level over approximately the last two to three months.
Inflammation
hs-CRP is a high-sensitivity marker for inflammation. The value is non-specific and can be affected by factors such as infection.
Iron status
Ferritin is used as a marker for the body's iron stores. Transferrin transports iron in the blood. Ferritin levels can also rise in response to inflammation.
Liver
ALT, ALP, GGT, bilirubin, albumin, and total protein provide information on various aspects of the liver, bile ducts, and blood proteins.
Kidneys and electrolytes
Creatinine and cystatin C are used to estimate kidney filtration capacity. eGFR is a calculated value. Sodium reflects a key aspect of the body's fluid and electrolyte balance.
All included markers
- Total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and triglycerides
- HbA1c and calculated eAG
- hs-CRP
- Ferritin
- ALT and GGT
- Creatinine and calculated eGFR
Symptoms and when a broader health check-up may be relevant
The test provides a focused yet comprehensive overview of metabolic values and selected liver and kidney markers.
Abnormalities in these areas may be asymptomatic. Fatigue and reduced energy are common but non-specific symptoms that can have many causes.
Many abnormalities do not cause clear symptoms. Test results may therefore show values that cannot be assessed based on how you feel.
Who is this test for?
- For those who want to combine tests for blood lipids, blood sugar, liver, and kidney function.
- For those who want to track changes after adjusting their lifestyle habits.
- For those who want a focused health profile from the comfort of home.
How the test works
- Order the test and receive the sampling kit at home.
- Read the instructions and complete any necessary preparations.
- Prick your fingertip and collect liquid capillary blood in the provided sample tube.
- Label, pack, and send the sample to the laboratory.
- The laboratory analyzes the included markers.
- View your digital lab results in your personal health portal.
Before sampling
Fast for 12 hours before sampling. Follow the instructions in the sampling kit.
Laboratory and quality
The sample is analyzed at a medical laboratory accredited according to ISO 15189. The laboratory's quality assurance also adheres to Rili-BÄK guidelines for laboratory medical testing.
- Sample material: liquid capillary blood
- Sampling location: at home
- Result: digital laboratory report
- Turnaround time: transport time and the scope of the analysis affect the total time
Results and reference values
The result shows the analyzed markers and any calculated values, along with the laboratory's units and current reference ranges. Results should be interpreted in relation to age, gender, symptoms, medications, lifestyle habits, and medical history.
Important information about the result
A health check can identify abnormal laboratory values but does not provide a medical diagnosis and does not rule out disease. Contact a healthcare provider in the event of clearly abnormal results, persistent symptoms, or concerns.

Frequently asked questions
Can the health check detect disease?
It can show abnormal laboratory values but does not provide a diagnosis on its own.
How do I get the result?
The result is displayed digitally, showing the laboratory's units and current reference ranges.
What should I do if a value is abnormal?
Contact a healthcare provider for a medical assessment and potential follow-up.
Can medications and dietary supplements affect the result?
Yes, certain markers can be affected. Never alter prescribed treatment without consulting a healthcare provider.
Can I compare the result with a later test?
Yes. For the most meaningful comparison, follow-up tests should be performed under similar conditions.

Frequently asked questions
What does the Health Check for blood lipids, liver, kidneys & blood sugar measure?
The test measures total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, ALT, GGT, creatinine, HbA1c, hs-CRP and ferritin, and reports eGFR (calculated) and eAG (calculated) based on the measured values.
How is the sample taken?
You prick your finger and collect a capillary blood sample in the sample tube provided. Follow the sampling instructions carefully.
Do I need to prepare?
- Fast for 12 hours before taking the sample.
Always follow the instructions that come with the sampling kit.
How is the sample sent?
Label and pack the sample, then send it to the laboratory as instructed.
When and how will I get my results?
