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.

Oxalate
Urinary oxalate monitoring supports women's kidney health. Hormonal changes during pregnancy and menopause can influence calcium and oxalate metabolism, and women with a history of kidney stones may benefit from regular screening during these periods.
Oxidized LDL
oxLDL measures the most harmful form of cholesterol. Monitoring supports advanced cardiovascular protection for women, especially after menopause.
PTH (Parathyroid Hormone)
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) helps regulate calcium and phosphorus, which are essential for bone health. For women, PTH balance may be particularly relevant during hormonal transitions such as menopause.
Parathyroid Hormone (intact)
Parathyroid hormone regulates calcium, which is especially important for women's bone health across all life stages. Monitoring PTH can provide insight into bone density maintenance, particularly during and after menopause.
Phosphorus
Phosphorus works with calcium to maintain bone strength, which is especially important during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and menopause.
Platelets (Thrombocytes)
Your platelet count shows how many platelets circulate in a litre of blood. In adults the usual range is 150 to 400 ×10⁹/l, the same for women and men. The number still shifts with your cycle, your iron stores and pregnancy. Heavy periods often push it up rather than down, because iron deficiency drives production. From the second trimester onward it dips slightly in many pregnancies. Reference limits differ between laboratories, so the column on your own report decides. Below you will find what your number means and when to call your doctor or midwife.
Potassium
Potassium supports heart health and fluid balance, both of which can be influenced by hormonal fluctuations during the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and menopause.
Pregnenolone
Pregnenolone is the precursor to progesterone, estrogen, and other hormones vital to women's health. Monitoring this "mother hormone" can provide foundational insight into your overall hormonal production capacity.
Progesterone
Progesterone is a cornerstone of women's reproductive health, essential for ovulation confirmation, cycle regularity, and pregnancy support. Monitoring progesterone empowers you to understand your hormonal patterns and fertility.
Prolactin
Prolactin is essential for lactation and plays a broader role in menstrual cycle regulation and fertility. Monitoring prolactin can help women understand hormonal factors that may influence their reproductive health and well-being.
Protein (Urine)
Proteinuria testing is particularly important for women during pregnancy, when pre-eclampsia can cause protein to appear in the urine. Regular monitoring supports early detection and helps protect both maternal and foetal health throughout pregnancy.
RDW
RDW shows how much your red blood cells vary in size and can be an early clue to anaemia. This is especially relevant for women, as menstruation, pregnancy and breastfeeding can deplete iron stores. A raised RDW may point to a shortage of iron, vitamin B12 or folate.
RNA Polymerase III
RNA Polymerase III antibodies are autoantibodies strongly associated with systemic sclerosis (scleroderma). Women are significantly more likely to develop systemic sclerosis, and hormonal factors may influence disease progression, making this test particularly relevant for women's immune health.
Reticulocytes
A reticulocyte count measures the number of young, immature red blood cells in your blood. It reflects how actively your bone marrow is producing new red blood cells and is a valuable indicator of bone marrow function.
Reverse T3
Reverse T3 is an inactive thyroid hormone that may increase during stress, illness, or hormonal shifts. For women, elevated levels might influence menstrual regularity, energy, and fertility. Some providers consider it when evaluating unexplained cycle disturbances.
Rheumatoid Factor
Rheumatoid Factor (RF) is an autoantibody often linked to autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis. Women are approximately two to three times more likely to develop rheumatoid arthritis than men, and hormonal changes may play a role in disease onset and flares.
Rubella IgG
A Rubella IgG test detects IgG antibodies against the rubella virus in your blood. The presence of IgG antibodies typically indicates immunity to rubella through past infection or successful vaccination.
SAA (Serum Amyloid A)
SAA is a sensitive inflammation marker that can complement CRP. It helps provide a fuller picture of immune health for women.
SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin)
SHBG is a protein with one job that matters a great deal for women. It binds testosterone and oestradiol in your blood and holds on to them. The full name is sex hormone binding globulin. Hormone that is bound cannot reach your tissues. Your SHBG level therefore decides how much of your total testosterone is actually active. That makes it central for women on the pill, because oral oestrogens raise SHBG considerably. Your free testosterone falls with it, even when the total looks entirely normal. In PCOS the reverse happens: a low SHBG releases more free testosterone into the blood.
Selenium
Selenium supports thyroid health and reproductive function. Adequate levels may be important for fertility, pregnancy, and hormonal balance.
Serotonin
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that may influence mood, sleep, and appetite. For women, serotonin levels can fluctuate with hormonal changes throughout the menstrual cycle, potentially affecting emotional well-being and comfort.
Smooth Muscle Antibodies (SMA)
Smooth Muscle Antibodies (SMA) are autoantibodies associated with autoimmune hepatitis. Women are more frequently affected by autoimmune hepatitis than men, and hormonal factors may influence disease development, making liver immune health an important area of attention for women.
Sodium
Sodium helps regulate fluid balance, which can be affected by hormonal changes throughout the menstrual cycle and during pregnancy. Monitoring supports overall well-being.
Syphilis Screening
The Syphilis Screening test is a treponemal-based test that detects antibodies specifically directed against Treponema pallidum, the bacterium that causes syphilis. Once positive, this test typically remains positive for life, regardless of treatment.
