A 14-biomarker complete blood count panel providing a foundational overview of blood cell health, immune function, and oxygen-carrying capacity — collected by a mobile nurse at your location in Lisbon.
The complete blood count is the most commonly ordered blood test in medicine and serves as the foundation of any health assessment. This 14-biomarker panel measures red blood cells (count, haemoglobin, haematocrit, MCV, MCH, MCHC, RDW), white blood cells (total count plus differential — neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils), and platelets. Red cell parameters identify anaemia and characterise its type — iron deficiency produces small, pale red cells (low MCV, low MCH) while B12 or folate deficiency produces large red cells (high MCV). White cell differentials provide information about immune function, infection, allergy, and inflammatory states. Platelet count assesses blood clotting capacity. At EUR 199, this is the most affordable blood panel from Drip IV Portugal and serves as an excellent starting point for patients who want a basic health check without investing in a comprehensive panel. It is also useful for monitoring known conditions, checking the impact of dietary changes, or establishing a baseline before more targeted testing. The mobile collection model means a registered nurse comes to your hotel, home, or office in the Lisbon area, draws the blood sample, and sends it to the laboratory. Results are delivered electronically. The service operates under ERS registration E172088 with medical oversight from Dr. Rita Marques.

What's Included
Panel Categories
Biomarkers Tested
9The percentage of your blood volume occupied by red blood cells. It reflects the balance between red blood cell production and loss, helping diagnose anemia, dehydration, and polycythemia.
The iron-rich protein in red blood cells responsible for carrying oxygen throughout your body and returning carbon dioxide to the lungs. Low haemoglobin is the primary marker for anemia and can cause fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath.
The average size of your red blood cells. Small cells (microcytic) suggest iron deficiency, while large cells (macrocytic) may indicate vitamin B12 or folate deficiency. Normal-sized cells with low count suggest chronic disease.
The percentage of white blood cells that are monocytes. Monocytes are part of the innate immune system and develop into macrophages and dendritic cells in tissues.
Measures the number of platelets, small cell fragments essential for blood clotting. Low platelets increase bleeding risk, while high platelets may increase clot risk. Important for monitoring clotting disorders and medication effects.
Measures the number of red blood cells in your blood. Red blood cells carry oxygen from your lungs to every cell in your body. Abnormal levels can indicate anemia, dehydration, or bone marrow disorders.
Measures the total number of white blood cells, your body's primary defense against infection. Elevated levels may indicate infection, inflammation, or immune disorders, while low levels can signal bone marrow problems or autoimmune conditions.
Imbalances in gut pH influence short-chain fatty acid production and their effects.
