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. It is a simple baseline check, without the red-cell indices and white-cell differential of a complete blood count.
Basophils
Basophils are the least numerous white blood cells in your blood count. In women the same range applies as in men: 0 to 0.2 x10⁹/l. Your cycle and a pregnancy do not change that range. A low or absent result is normal and needs no follow-up. If your basophils are raised, allergy, chronic inflammation and an underactive thyroid are the known causes. That last one is considerably more common in women. Below you can read when a rise is worth checking, and which thyroid test belongs with it.
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
Bicarbonate helps regulate your body's pH balance, which can be influenced by hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and menopause.
Bilirubin (Direct)
Direct bilirubin is a liver marker that may be influenced by hormonal factors. Women using hormonal contraception or during pregnancy may experience changes in bile flow and bilirubin metabolism, making monitoring valuable as part of comprehensive health assessment.
Bilirubin (Indirect)
Indirect bilirubin is the part of your bilirubin that your liver has not yet processed. The value is not measured separately but calculated: your total bilirubin minus your direct bilirubin, in the same unit. That split helps to show where an abnormal total is coming from. This page explains what your indirect bilirubin result can mean.
Bilirubin (Total)
Total bilirubin is a liver function marker that can be influenced by hormonal changes. Women using hormonal contraception, during pregnancy, or undergoing hormone therapy may experience fluctuations in bilirubin levels, making regular monitoring a valuable part of health assessment.
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.
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. Elevated levels can result from many benign conditions — including non-cancerous breast changes and endometriosis — and should always be interpreted by a qualified healthcare provider.
CA 19-9
CA 19-9 is a gastrointestinal marker relevant for women's health monitoring. Elevated levels are commonly caused by benign conditions including endometriosis and ovarian cysts. Understanding this marker gives you and your healthcare provider a fuller picture.
CA 72-4
CA 72-4 is a glycoprotein marker associated with gastric and ovarian tissue. For women, this marker can be relevant because elevated levels are sometimes seen with ovarian cysts and other benign gynaecological conditions.
CA-125
A CA-125 blood test measures a protein that plays a significant role in ovarian health monitoring. As a woman, understanding your CA-125 levels can be empowering, particularly if you are being evaluated for gynecological conditions such as endometriosis or ovarian concerns. It is important to know that CA-125 is not a screening tool for ovarian cancer in the general population, and elevated levels are frequently caused by common benign conditions. This test alone cannot diagnose cancer and should be discussed with your healthcare professional for proper context.
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. Understanding your CEA level contributes to a fuller picture of your wellbeing.
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
A CMV IgG test detects IgG antibodies against cytomegalovirus (CMV) in your blood. A positive result typically indicates a past CMV infection and suggests that your immune system has developed long-term immunity to the virus.
CRP (C-Reactive Protein)
CRP measures inflammation levels, which can fluctuate with hormonal changes and conditions affecting women's health. Monitoring supports a holistic view of your well-being.
Calcitonin
Calcitonin is a thyroid hormone involved in calcium regulation and bone health. For women, understanding calcitonin levels may offer insights into thyroid function and mineral balance, which are important throughout different life stages.
Calcium
Calcium is crucial for women's bone health, particularly during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and menopause when calcium needs may increase significantly.
Ceruloplasmin
Ceruloplasmin levels can naturally fluctuate with hormonal changes. Understanding your copper metabolism supports comprehensive women's health monitoring.
Chlamydia (PCR)
The Chlamydia PCR test detects the DNA of Chlamydia trachomatis, providing a highly accurate method for diagnosing an active infection. It is considered the gold standard for chlamydia diagnosis due to its sensitivity and specificity.
Chlamydia IgG
The Chlamydia IgG antibody test detects antibodies produced in response to a past Chlamydia trachomatis infection. A positive result indicates prior exposure but cannot distinguish between an active and a previously cleared infection.
Chloride
Chloride helps regulate fluid balance, which can fluctuate during the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. Monitoring supports awareness of your hydration and electrolyte status.
