Blood values in women
Your blood values say something about your hormones and your health. For hormones the normal range depends on your cycle and your life stage. Look up a value below. Each one shows which range applies and what a deviation can mean.

17-OH Progesterone
17-OH Progesterone is a steroid hormone that plays an important role in your hormonal balance. It serves as a building block for cortisol and androgens, and its levels may fluctuate throughout your menstrual cycle.
ACTH (Adrenocorticotropic Hormone)
ACTH is a hormone from the pituitary gland that tells your adrenal glands to produce cortisol. Understanding your ACTH levels may offer insights into how your body manages stress and supports your hormonal well-being.
AFP (Alpha-Fetoprotein)
An AFP (Alpha-Fetoprotein) blood test measures the level of alpha-fetoprotein in your blood. AFP is a protein produced primarily by the fetal liver during pregnancy, and levels are normally very low in healthy non-pregnant adults. Elevated levels may be associated with liver conditions, certain types of tumors, or pregnancy. This test alone cannot diagnose cancer and should always be interpreted by a healthcare professional in the context of other clinical findings.
ALP (Alkaline Phosphatase)
What is alkaline phosphatase? And why does the result so often sit outside the line in women with nothing wrong? It is an enzyme that in adults comes from two tissues. They are the bile ducts inside the liver, and bone tissue. In women a third source joins them. During pregnancy the placenta makes its own form of the same enzyme. Menopause changes the picture too, because bone turnover speeds up again. This page sets those life stages out in order.
ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase)
The ALT value measures alanine aminotransferase, the enzyme of the liver cell. In women the upper limit is lower than in men: 34 u/l against 45. That difference is real and it is often overlooked. A normal ALT value therefore means something different here than on a general website. When the enzyme reaches the blood, liver cells have been damaged. Hormonal contraception, pregnancy and menopause all shape how you read the result.
AMA (Anti-Mitochondrial Antibodies)
AMA testing is particularly relevant for women, as PBC affects women approximately 10 times more often than men. Early detection enables treatment that significantly slows progression.
AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone)
The AMH hormone comes from the granulosa cells around the small follicles queued up in your ovaries for a future ovulation. The blood value therefore gives an estimate of your ovarian reserve: how many follicles are still waiting in line. For women thinking about trying to conceive, about freezing eggs or about an IVF pathway, AMH is unusually practical for one reason: the test is not tied to a cycle day. You can have blood drawn at any point in your cycle, and you do not need to fast. Always read the result alongside your age. AMH is a planning number that helps you and your doctor make choices earlier and better informed. It is emphatically not a countdown clock, and not a prediction of whether you can get pregnant.
ANA (Antinuclear Antibodies)
ANA testing is important for women, as autoimmune diseases disproportionately affect women. SLE, Sjogren syndrome, and scleroderma are all significantly more common in women.
ANCA Screening
ANCA screening helps identify vasculitis conditions that can affect women of all ages. Early detection enables prompt treatment and organ preservation.
AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase)
In women, AST is rarely the first sign of a liver problem. The enzyme also sits in muscle tissue. An intense class or a new workout therefore explains the result more often than your liver. The upper limit in women is 31 u/l, slightly lower than in men. One situation does call for immediate attention. In the second half of pregnancy AST should stay normal. Does it rise alongside headache, upper right abdominal pain or high blood pressure? Then call the same day.
ASTO (Antistreptolysin O)
ASO testing helps detect streptococcal infections that can trigger inflammatory complications. Monitoring supports comprehensive immune health awareness for women.
Active Vitamin B12
Active Vitamin B12 measures the bioavailable form of B12 available to your cells. For women, B12 may play a role in hormonal balance, energy production, and reproductive health. This test could provide early insight into your B12 status.
Albumin
Albumin reflects liver health and nutritional status, both important for women during pregnancy and hormonal transitions. Monitoring supports comprehensive well-being.
Albumin-to-Creatinine Ratio (ACR)
During pregnancy your kidneys work harder and albumin in the urine is followed closely, not least when blood pressure is raised. The ratio corrects for dilution, which makes successive results easier to compare.
Amylase
Amylase normally sits between 28 and 119 u/l in adults. The upper limit rises with age, to 141 u/l over 65. For women the value is read alongside the rest of the digestive picture. Hormonal shifts can nudge enzyme activity.
Androstenedione
Androstenedione is a hormone your body uses to produce both estrogen and testosterone. Understanding your levels may help provide insight into hormonal balance, cycle health, and conditions that could affect your well-being.
Anti ds-DNA + ss-DNA
Anti ds-DNA is crucial for women, as SLE affects women approximately 9 times more often than men, particularly during reproductive years. It helps diagnose and monitor disease activity.
Anti-CCP
Anti-CCP is highly specific for rheumatoid arthritis, which affects women 2-3 times more often than men. Early detection enables treatment to prevent irreversible joint damage.
Anti-Cardiolipin IgG
Anti-cardiolipin IgG is crucial for women with recurrent pregnancy loss or unexplained thrombosis. APS is a treatable cause of pregnancy complications when identified early.
Anti-Cardiolipin IgM
Anti-cardiolipin IgM, together with IgG testing, provides comprehensive APS screening for women with pregnancy complications or unexplained thrombosis.
Anti-TTG (Tissue Transglutaminase)
Anti-TTG is a key screening marker for coeliac disease, which affects women more frequently than men. Coeliac disease can contribute to iron-deficiency anaemia, fertility issues, and osteoporosis — making early detection particularly important for women's health.
ApoA1 (Apolipoprotein A1)
ApoA1 reflects your HDL's protective capacity against heart disease. Cardiovascular risk increases after menopause, making this marker especially relevant for women.
ApoB (Apolipoprotein B)
ApoB provides a precise measure of cardiovascular risk that goes beyond standard cholesterol. Heart disease risk increases after menopause, making ApoB an important marker for women.
Autoimmune Hepatitis Panel
The Autoimmune Hepatitis Panel is relevant for women, as AIH has a female predominance. Comprehensive antibody profiling enables accurate classification and treatment.
