Abdominal Pain Blood Test by OneDayTests

Comprehensive blood test to identify underlying causes of abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhoea, and constipation.

Additional Information

This test helps diagnose gastrointestinal issues by analyzing various biomarkers. It includes a full blood count (FBC) to detect anaemia and immune system problems, kidney function tests to assess waste filtration and electrolyte balance, and liver function tests to evaluate digestion and waste processing. C-reactive protein (CRP) levels are measured to detect inflammation. The test aids in identifying potential causes of abdominal discomfort, including coeliac disease, pernicious anaemia, internal bleeding, kidney disease, liver or gallbladder issues, and inflammatory bowel diseases.

Biomarkers Tested (33)

White Blood Cell Count (/µL)

Responsible for fighting infection. A high count can indicate recent infection and even stress, whilst a low count can result from vitamin deficiencies, liver disease and immune diseases.

Red Blood Cell Count (/µL)

Responsible for carrying oxygen around the body. A high count can increase the risk of heart attack or stroke, whilst a low count can mean your body isn’t getting the oxygen it needs.

Haemoglobin (g/dL)

A good measure of your blood's ability to carry oxygen throughout your body. Elevated haemoglobin can be an indicator of lung disease, whilst a low result indicates anaemia.

Hematocrit (%)

Hematocrit (Hct) is the proportion of red blood cells in your blood. Abnormal levels can indicate anemia, dehydration, or other conditions.

MCV (fL)

Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) measures the average size of red blood cells. Abnormal levels can indicate various types of anemia.

MCH (pg)

Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH) measures the average amount of hemoglobin in a red blood cell. Abnormal levels can indicate different types of anemia.

MCH (pg)

Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH) measures the average amount of hemoglobin in a red blood cell. Abnormal levels can indicate different types of anemia.

RDW (%)

RDW is a calculation of the variation in the size of your red blood cells. A high RDW value may indicate the presence of certain medical conditions, such as anaemia, liver disease, or vitamin B12 or folate deficiency.

Platelets (PLT) (/µL)

Blood cells involved in blood clotting.

Volume (ml)

Measures the amount of semen produced during ejaculation. Abnormal volume may affect fertility.

Imbalances in gut pH influence short-chain fatty acid production and their effects.

Monocytes (MON) (%)

Type of white blood cell involved in immune defense.

Imbalances in gut pH influence short-chain fatty acid production and their effects.

Albumin (g/dL)

Albumin is a protein made by the liver that helps keep fluid in your bloodstream and carries various substances throughout your body. Low levels can indicate liver or kidney disease.

Total Protein (g/dL)

A measure of all of the proteins in the plasma portion of your blood. Proteins are important building blocks of all cells and tissues - they are important for body growth and health.

Creatinine (mg/dL)

Creatinine (Cr) is a waste product from muscle metabolism, filtered by the kidneys. Elevated levels can indicate kidney dysfunction.

eGFR (mL/min/1.73m²)

Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) assesses kidney function by estimating the rate at which kidneys filter waste from the blood.

Urea (mmol/L)

A high concentration of this waste product can indicate dehydration or that your kidneys aren’t working properly.

Sodium (mmol/L)

Sodium (Na) helps regulate water balance and nerve function. Abnormal levels can affect hydration status and blood pressure.

Potassium (mmol/L)

Potassium (K) is essential for nerve function and muscle contraction. Abnormal levels can affect heart and muscle function.

Chloride (mmol/L)

Chloride is important for maintaining fluid balance and for the proper functioning of the digestive system.

Globulin (g/dL)

Any of a group of simple proteins found in the blood.

Bilirubin (mg/dL)

Bilirubin is a substance produced during the normal breakdown of red blood cells. High levels can lead to jaundice and indicate liver or bile duct problems.

ALT (U/L)

Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) is an enzyme mainly produced by the liver. A good indicator of liver damage caused by alcohol, drugs or hepatitis.

GGT (U/L)

Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) is a liver enzyme which can be used to diagnose alcohol abuse as it is typically raised in long term drinkers.

Alkaline phosphatase (U/L)

Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme found in many tissues, with high concentrations in the liver, bile ducts, and bone. Elevated levels may indicate liver disease or bone disorders.

AST (U/L)

Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) is an enzyme created mainly by the liver and the heart. High levels can indicate damage to your liver caused by alcohol, drugs or hepatitis.

hs-CRP (High-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein) (mg/L)

hs-CRP measures inflammation and is a marker for cardiovascular risk. Elevated levels indicate systemic inflammation.

Iron (µg/dL)

Iron (Fe) is essential for hemoglobin production and oxygen transport. Low levels can lead to anemia, while high levels may indicate iron overload disorders.

B12 (pg/mL)

Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin) is essential for red blood cell formation and neurological function. Deficiency can lead to anemia and nerve damage.

Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) (NA)

MTHFR 677 and MTHFR 1298 genotypes determine folate requirements to assist normal homocysteine levels.
