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.

LDL/HDL Ratio
The LDL/HDL ratio tells you how your LDL cholesterol relates to your HDL cholesterol: one number divided by the other.
LH (Luteinizing Hormone)
LH is a key reproductive hormone that triggers ovulation and supports the menstrual cycle. Monitoring LH can provide valuable insight into your cycle regularity, fertility potential, and overall hormonal balance.
Lactase Genotyping
Lactase Genotyping determines your genetic ability to digest lactose. For women, understanding lactose tolerance is important for calcium intake planning during pregnancy and for bone health.
Lactate
Lactate levels reflect metabolic efficiency and tissue oxygenation. Monitoring supports comprehensive metabolic health insight for women.
Leptin
Leptin testing measures the appetite-regulating hormone. For women, leptin interacts with reproductive hormones and may be relevant to menstrual regularity, fertility, and weight management.
Leukocyte Differential
Eosinophils and basophils are two of the five kinds of white blood cells, the cells that according to the NVKC protect the body against bacteria, viruses and parasites.
Leukocytes (WBC)
Leukocytes are the white blood cells: the bone marrow makes them, and they protect the body against infection by attacking pathogens such as bacteria, fungi and viruses.
Lipase
Lipase is a key pancreatic enzyme for fat digestion.
Lipoprotein(a)
Lp(a), in full lipoprotein(a), is an LDL lipoprotein according to the Dutch guideline on inherited dyslipidaemia, a lipid particle that carries cholesterol, with a protein called apolipoprotein(a) coupled to it.
Liver Function Test (LFT)
A liver function test offers a complete overview of liver health, which is important for women at every life stage.
Lymphocytes
Lymphocytes are white blood cells central to your defence against viruses and to immune memory.
MCH (Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin)
To make haemoglobin, the protein in the red blood cells that carries oxygen through the body, the body needs iron, vitamin B12 and folate, according to Thuisarts.
MCHC (Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration)
MCHC is the average concentration of haemoglobin inside your red blood cells.
MCV (Mean Corpuscular Volume)
According to Thuisarts, the body needs iron, vitamin B12 and folate to make haemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen.
Magnesium
Magnesium supports muscle relaxation, mood balance, and may ease menstrual cramps. It plays an important role in women's hormonal health and sleep quality.
Magnesium (Intracellular)
Intracellular magnesium reveals hidden deficiencies that standard tests may miss. It supports hormonal balance, mood stability, and cramp relief for women.
Melatonin
Melatonin regulates your sleep-wake cycle and may influence hormonal balance throughout the menstrual cycle. For women, quality sleep is closely connected to mood, energy, and reproductive health.
Methylmalonic Acid (MMA) (Blood)
MMA Blood measures a functional B12 marker that may reveal deficiency at the cellular level.
Methylmalonic Acid (MMA) (Urine)
MMA Urine provides a non-invasive assessment of functional B12 at the cellular level.
Microalbumin (Urine)
Microalbumin testing is especially relevant for women during pregnancy, when increased kidney workload can reveal underlying vulnerabilities.
Mold Panel (mx1)
The Mold Panel (mx1) identifies mould sensitisation. For women, mould allergy management is important during pregnancy when respiratory health impacts maternal wellbeing.
Monocytes
Your monocyte value tells you how many of these white blood cells were circulating in your blood at the moment of the draw, and if that count stays raised for months, it points to an inflammation that is not going away.
NT-proBNP
According to the NVKC, the hormone pro-BNP, which is cut into BNP and NT-proBNP, helps the heart pump: it lowers blood pressure and makes the body pass more salt and water in the urine.
Neutrophils
Neutrophils are the most common white blood cells and your first defence against bacterial infections.
