The most common blood tests or blood tests are to see if there is inflammation (BSE or sedimentation), to determine if inflammation is and how severe it is (CRP), an Hb test to get a general impression of your health. and to determine if there is anemia, an examination of your blood sugar (glucose blood test), testing of thyroid function (T4) and an examination of any abnormalities of the prostate (the PSA value).

Medical examination
17-Hydroxyprogesterone
-
In the Netherlands, an estimated 15 to 20 children are born each year with the adrenogenital syndrome (AGS), a congenital abnormality of hormone production in the adrenal glands. Three quarters of these newborn children have a risk of severe salt loss and an adrenal crisis or Addison crisis as a result of a shortage of aldosterone and cortisol during the first weeks of life. Such a crisis manifests itself in complaints of nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain, followed by a life-threatening situation of low blood pressure

Blood test values: ACE
-
ACE is short for Angiotensin Converting Enzyme, a protein or enzyme that regulates blood pressure. The ACE level may be elevated in a variety of conditions: sarcoidosis, primary biliary cirrhosis (in which the small bile ducts in the liver are chronically inflamed), alcoholic liver disease, hyperparathyroidism (abnormally increased production and release of parathyroid hormones), hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), diabetes, multiple myeloma (a type of bone marrow cancer), lung disease
Blood test values: ACTH
-
ACTH is an abbreviation for adrenocorticotropic hormone, which literally means adrenal cortex stimulating hormone. It's also called corticotropin. ACTH stimulates the adrenal glands to produce the stress hormone cortisol and is produced by the front part of the pituitary gland in the brain. ACTH is determined to treat pituitary or adrenal disorders such as Addison's disease or Cushing's syndrome
Blood test values: ADH
-
The antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also known as vasopressin, is a hormone produced in the hypothalamus. It is released into the bloodstream by the posterior pituitary lobe. It plays a role in the regulation of water and moisture in the body. ADH helps to maintain the optimal amount of water in the body. An ADH deficiency becomes diabetes insipidus

Albumin
-
The liver produces albumin, an essential protein that circulates in the blood. The albumin content may be too low if there is malnutrition or liver disease. However, a low albumin level can also indicate an inflammatory response, nephrotic syndrome, overhydration and other medical conditions such as kidney or thyroid abnormalities. The nutritional status of a patient can also be measured with this, but in combination with other values. When dehydrated

Sedimentation | BSE
-
Blood sedimentation / blood sedimentation speed (BSE) is the speed (measured in mm / hour) at which the red blood cells in a tube of blood descend under the influence of gravity. Based on this research, it can be determined whether there are infections (bacteria, viruses), tumors or autoimmune diseases (rheumatism)

The liver function can also be investigated by determining the level of, for example, bilirubin (bile dye) in the blood. the test can be used to check for conditions often associated with liver damage such as gallstones
Calcium
-
Calcium is a mineral that your body needs for building bones and teeth. It also plays a role in blood clotting, nerve impulse transmission and in every muscle movement. A calcium test can be requested when complaints indicate too much or too little calcium in the blood. The calcium test can also detect conditions associated with calcium imbalance, such as kidney failure, which often leads to a decreased calcium level in the blood. Abnormal calcium values can also occur with thyroid diseases, intestinal diseases, cancer and malnutrition. The test can also be used to check whether treatment with calcium tablets or vitamin D is effective in patients with a disturbed calcium pattern. Calcium is also determined in osteoporosis
