Simple health checks in my control

I didn't know that private blood tests were an option. Tried this platform as the packages suited what I wanted for a good price. Easy to follow instructions, and super quick results. Platform provides more information than my gp's ever have on the tests and what the results meant. Would like more clinics to be able to test at (specifically Capital Pathology) but there is a decent network. Will continue to use.

"I'm a little biased as I work here! However, I love that The Bloody Good Test tracks my health over time. After turning 40, I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to drop dead from something basic I should have known about earlier. Measuring all my core biomarkers each year gives me peace of mind my health is on the right track"

Overview

The Vitamin A test measures the level of this essential vitamin in your blood, acting like a health check for your body's "night vision goggles" and immune system armor. Vitamin A is your body's multitasking hero – it helps your eyes see clearly in dim light, keeps your immune system strong to fight off infections, and ensures your skin and cells grow and repair properly. When your vitamin A levels are off balance, you might experience problems like difficulty seeing at night, getting sick more often, slow wound healing, or skin issues.

This test is particularly helpful if you're dealing with vision problems, frequent infections, or have conditions that affect how your body absorbs nutrients from food. It's also valuable for anyone taking vitamin A supplements, since too much can be just as problematic as too little. By checking your vitamin A status, you and your healthcare provider can determine if you need to adjust your diet, modify supplements, or address any underlying issues that might be affecting your body's ability to maintain healthy vitamin A levels.

Symptoms

Essential for individuals with vision problems, immune dysfunction, skin disorders, or anyone needing comprehensive vitamin A and nutritional assessment.

Questions

  • Vitamin A is essential for vision (especially night vision), immune function, cell growth and differentiation, reproduction, and maintaining healthy skin and mucous membranes.
  • Signs include night blindness, dry eyes, frequent infections, poor wound healing, dry skin, and in severe cases, complete blindness and increased mortality risk.
  • Causes include poor dietary intake, malabsorption disorders, liver disease, chronic illnesses, and increased needs during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or illness.
  • Yes, vitamin A toxicity can cause liver damage, bone problems, birth defects, and other serious health issues, so appropriate dosing is important.
  • Good sources include liver, fish oils, dairy products, eggs, and orange/yellow vegetables and fruits like carrots, sweet potatoes, and cantaloupe.
  • Daily requirements vary but generally range from 700-900 mcg for adults, with higher needs during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

How to prepare

No special preparation required. Inform healthcare provider of all vitamin A supplements and medications that might affect vitamin A levels or absorption.

After the test

Address abnormal vitamin A through appropriate supplementation for deficiency, dose reduction for toxicity, dietary modifications, addressing underlying absorption issues, and regular monitoring.

Your test results will be available in your private dashboard. If there are any urgent issues, we'll let you know so you can follow up with your health professional.

Understanding results

Results show vitamin A levels compared to normal ranges. Low levels indicate deficiency requiring supplementation, while high levels may suggest toxicity requiring dose adjustment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most collection centres accept walk-ins. Some may require a booking - check details when you click on your chosen location.

If your test needs fasting, we’ll include that in your instructions after you order. Fasting usually means no food for 8–12 hours, but water is fine.

Just your pathology referral form (we email it to you)

Of course. Just maybe don’t bring the friend who faints at the sight of blood.

They’re the highly trained professionals who take your blood sample - with a steady hand and a sharp needle. They love blood, but don’t worry… they’re not vampires. Just legends who make blood tests quick, clean, and (almost) painless.

Some of our tests include Urine, Stool, Saliva and more. Each test will have a clear description on what sample you will need to give and instructions on how.
