Hello Steemians, Happy prosperous New Year to everyone. It's been a while since my last post due to my tight schedule. I am so happy to resume again starting from participating in this amazing contest by @khurshreedanwar. Today I am going to share some important information about the topic "blood tests".

• Complete Blood Count (CBC)

This is one of the most important tests that help healthcare providers to monitor your health conditions. This test is done to check for any abnormal rise in the cells of your blood, both white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. Anything abnormal that is found in your blood cells will be tackled immediately as it can cause serious health challenges such as anemia and also blood cancer.

• Thyroid function test

This blood test is another important test that is done to determine or check if the thyroid is functioning properly and also how healthy it is. This test is very necessary as it will help you to know the state of your thyroid and also help prevent diseases like hypothyroidism, graves disease, thyroid cancer, and many more.

• Blood group

Doing a test to know your blood group is a very important thing that everyone needs to carry out. This blood test is done so that everyone will know who to donate blood to and who to receive from.

• Genotype test

Genotype test is another important test that must be carried out, especially for those who intend to get married someday. The purpose of doing this test is to know if you have a genetic condition that can ruin your life or the life of the next generation.

• Blood sugar test

Here comes another important blood test that healthcare providers usually recommend to old-aged individuals to check to know the level of sugar in their blood cells. Running this test will help them to know their sugar level, and this will make them control their sugar intake, which will prevent them from suffering from diabetes.
