Blood tests are a simple and effective way to check your health. Whether you’re using a home blood test kit or booking an appointment with a professional, understanding the process can make it easy and stress-free. Here’s everything you need to know about getting your blood tested with Youth-Revisited.
There are two main ways to collect a blood sample:
1. Finger Prick
This method is quick and easy. Using a small lancet, you collect blood from your fingertip. Our home blood test kits include clear instructions to guide you. [Link to detailed instructions]
2. Venous Collection
This involves taking blood from a vein in your arm. If you know someone qualified, you can request a Free Venous Kit during checkout. Don’t know anyone? No problem! Select our Phlebotomy Service at checkout, and a trained professional will visit your home or workplace to take the sample for a small fee.
Important: Ensure your sample is labelled and reaches the required fill line. Samples without proper labelling or sufficient blood may not be processed. If you need help, contact us at info@youth-revisited.co.uk.
Certain tests require fasting for accurate results. Always confirm instructions when you book a blood test.
For the best results, collect your sample on the day you plan to send it. Monday to Thursday is ideal to avoid postal delays. If you must take your sample over the weekend, refrigerate it overnight and gently mix the vial the next morning before posting.
Your test kit comes with detailed instructions to make the process easy. If you choose a venous collection, our Phlebotomy Service ensures a professional collects your sample. Book this option at checkout, and we’ll prioritize your appointment within seven working days. Costs for this service range from £40 to £60 depending on your location.
Your test report will include:
– Biomarker name
– Your result
– Normal range (based on age and gender)
– Measurement units
Anything outside the normal range will be highlighted. If you opt for an explanation report, you’ll get a detailed overview of any markers out of range, prepared by our experts.
Here are some problems that can occur and how to avoid them:
1. Hemolyzed Sample: Red blood cells break due to improper handling. Be gentle when collecting your sample.
2. Insufficient Blood: Ensure you collect enough blood to fill the tube.
3. Clotted Blood: Warm your hands, stay hydrated, and avoid squeezing your finger too hard.
4. Unlabeled Samples: Always label your sample and include the provided lab form.
5. Mismatched Information: Double-check that the label matches the lab form.
