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.

Basic Blood Count
A basic blood count measures three core values in your blood: hemoglobin, white blood cells and platelets. Together they say something about oxygen transport, immune defence and clotting.
Basophils
Basophils are white blood cells holding substances such as histamine, which are released in an allergic reaction; according to the NVKC they occur mainly in tissues where such reactions take place, such as skin, nose and lungs.
Beta-2 Glycoprotein Screening
Beta-2 glycoprotein screening is important for women being evaluated for APS, particularly those with pregnancy complications or unexplained thrombosis.
Bicarbonate
According to MedlinePlus, bicarbonate (HCO3-) is the form in which most carbon dioxide is in the body, and it is an electrolyte: an electrically charged mineral that helps control the amount of fluid and the balance between acid and base.
Bilirubin (Direct)
According to the Cleveland Clinic, bile is the fluid in which the liver gets rid of bilirubin, a yellow waste product of the breakdown of old red blood cells; bilirubin gives bile its yellow colour and also colours the stool.
Bilirubin (Indirect)
Indirect bilirubin is the part of your bilirubin that your liver has not yet processed.
Bilirubin (Total)
Bilirubin is a yellowish substance that according to MedlinePlus is made when old red blood cells are broken down, and that ends up in bile, the digestive fluid the liver makes.
Blood Type + Rh
A blood type test determines your ABO blood group and Rh factor. Knowing your blood type is essential for safe blood transfusions, organ transplants, and pregnancy planning.
Borrelia IgG (Lyme Disease)
A Borrelia IgG test detects IgG antibodies against Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterium that causes Lyme disease.
Borrelia IgM (Lyme Disease)
A Borrelia IgM test detects IgM antibodies against Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterium responsible for Lyme disease.
C-Peptide
C-Peptide assesses insulin production, which can be affected by hormonal conditions like PCOS. Understanding your levels supports metabolic and hormonal health awareness.
C3 Complement
C3 Complement is particularly important for women with lupus, where serial monitoring helps predict and manage disease flares, especially kidney involvement.
CA 15-3
CA 15-3 is a glycoprotein produced by breast cells. As a woman, understanding this marker is an important part of proactive breast health awareness.
CA 19-9
According to the NVKC, cancer cells mainly make the substance CA 19-9, a tumour marker, and when CA 19-9 is released from the cell it can end up in the blood.
CA 72-4
CA 72-4 is a tumour marker that a 2026 review connects to TAG-72, a high-molecular-weight molecule that resembles mucus proteins (mucins).
CA-125
According to the NVKC, cells in an ovarian tumour make extra CA 125, a substance normal cells make too, which is why CA 125 is used as a marker for ovarian cancer.
CDT (Carbohydrate-Deficient Transferrin)
A CDT blood test measures carbohydrate-deficient transferrin, a biomarker that indicates chronic heavy alcohol consumption over the preceding weeks.
CEA (Carcinoembryonic Antigen)
CEA is a broad tumor marker that can be elevated by conditions relevant to women's health, including breast tissue activity and endometriosis.
CK-MB
CK-MB is a heart-specific enzyme marker that helps detect cardiac injury. Awareness of cardiac health markers supports comprehensive well-being for women.
CMV IgG
According to the RIVM, cytomegalovirus (CMV) stays latent in the body after a first infection, and during pregnancy it can infect the unborn child through the placenta.
CRP (C-Reactive Protein)
The liver makes C-reactive protein (CRP) and according to the NVKC releases it into the bloodstream, where the amount rises sharply within 6 to 8 hours in an inflammation.
Calcitonin
Calcitonin is a thyroid hormone involved in calcium regulation and bone health.
Calcium
A calcium blood test tells you how much calcium your blood holds in total, 2.18 to 2.55 mmol/l in adults.
Ceruloplasmin
Ceruloplasmin levels can naturally fluctuate with hormonal changes. Understanding your copper metabolism supports comprehensive women's health monitoring.
