What are Leukocytes?
Leukocytes, or white blood cells (WBC), are cells in our blood that are essential for the immune system. They help protect the body against infections, diseases, and other foreign substances.
Why should you have Leukocytes tested/drawn?
Testing leukocytes is useful for assessing the general health of the immune system and for checking for possible infections, inflammatory diseases, and certain blood disorders. It can also be part of a routine health check-up.
What does it indicate?
The number of leukocytes in the blood provides insight into the state of the immune system. Abnormalities may indicate the presence of infections, inflammatory processes, a reaction to medication, and in rare cases, blood cancer.
What does a high leukocyte level mean?
A high leukocyte count, known as leukocytosis, can indicate an infection, inflammation, stress, trauma, allergies, or diseases such as leukemia.
What does a low leukocyte level mean?
A low leukocyte count, known as leukopenia, can be a sign of a suppressed immune system, possibly due to viral infections, certain medications, hereditary conditions, or more serious conditions such as bone marrow problems.
Frequently asked questions
Answers to what people usually want to know.
How does it work from order to result?
After ordering we generate a referral letter and email you the instructions. You pick a collection point yourself and book an appointment there. Blood is drawn at the location, processed at the lab, and your result arrives digitally.
How quickly can I get tested?
Usually very quickly. Collection points typically have slots within a few days, sometimes even same-day. It depends on how busy the location is. For a few specialist analyses we first ship collection materials, which takes a bit longer.
Do I need to book an appointment?
At most collection points yes. Some accept walk-ins. This is clearly indicated per location. You choose the location that works best for you.
