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.

Urine Culture
Urine culture testing is especially relevant for women, as women are significantly more likely to develop UTIs due to anatomical factors. Regular screening is important during pregnancy, when UTIs can pose risks to both mother and baby if left untreated.
Urine Glucose
Glucose is normally reabsorbed by the kidneys and is not present in urine. When blood sugar is high, glucose can spill into the urine and show up on a dipstick test.
Urine Ketones
Ketones are produced when the body breaks down fat for energy instead of glucose. Small amounts can appear during fasting or a low-carbohydrate diet, while higher levels can have a medical cause.
Urine Leukocytes
Leukocytes are white blood cells, and they do not normally belong in your urine. The expected result is therefore negative. Yet in women a positive pad often turns out not to be a bladder infection. There are two ordinary explanations. Vaginal discharge easily reaches the container during collection. And some symptoms come not from the bladder but from inflammation of the urethra. The pad does not measure cells at all. It measures leukocyte esterase, an enzyme those cells release. That is why it stays positive once the cells themselves have broken down. What your result means depends heavily on how the sample was collected.
Urine Nitrite
Nitrite is not normally found in urine. Certain bacteria convert nitrate into nitrite, so a positive dipstick result can be a sign of a bacterial urinary tract infection.
Urine Screening
Urine screening is an essential component of women's health assessment. It can detect UTIs, which are more common in women, screen for gestational diabetes and pre-eclampsia during pregnancy, and provide insight into overall kidney and metabolic health.
Urine Sediment
Urine sediment analysis supports comprehensive urinary health evaluation for women. It can detect signs of UTIs, which are more prevalent in women, and help identify kidney changes during pregnancy or hormonal transitions that may require monitoring.
Urine Sediment Leukocytes
Sediment leukocytes are white blood cells counted under the microscope in spun-down urine. A few are normal; a higher number can point to inflammation or infection in the urinary tract.
Urine Specific Gravity
Specific gravity reflects how concentrated your urine is, which is closely tied to how well hydrated you are. It typically ranges from about 1.002 to 1.035.
Urine Squamous Epithelial Cells
Squamous epithelial cells line the lower urinary and genital tract. A few in the urine are normal; larger numbers usually mean the sample picked up cells from the skin around the urethra rather than signalling disease.
Urine pH
Urine pH describes how acidic or alkaline your urine is. It naturally varies through the day with diet, hydration and other factors, and usually falls between roughly 4.5 and 8.0.
Varicella Zoster
A Varicella Zoster test detects antibodies against the varicella-zoster virus (VZV) in your blood. This virus causes chickenpox (varicella) during initial infection and may reactivate later in life as shingles (herpes zoster). Testing helps determine your immunity status.
Vitamin A
Vitamin A measures retinol levels, a fat-soluble vitamin that may play a role in women's hormonal health, skin vitality, and immune function. Adequate levels could support reproductive health and overall wellbeing throughout all life stages.
Vitamin B1 (Thiamine)
Vitamin B1 (thiamine) is considered important for energy metabolism, which may be especially relevant during hormonal fluctuations. Some women may experience fatigue when levels are low. Consult your healthcare provider for personalised guidance.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 is considered essential for red blood cell formation and neurological health in women. Hormonal changes, pregnancy, and certain contraceptives may influence B12 needs. Consult your healthcare provider for personalised assessment.
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)
Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) is considered important for energy metabolism and may play a role in hormonal health for women. Some research suggests it could support migraine prevention. Consult your healthcare provider for personalised guidance.
Vitamin B3 (Niacin)
Vitamin B3 (niacin) is considered important for NAD+ production and energy metabolism. For women, adequate levels may support hormonal balance and skin health. Healthcare providers can help assess whether your levels are optimal.
Vitamin B6
Vitamin B6 is considered important for women's hormonal health, mood regulation, and immune function. Some research suggests it may help manage premenstrual symptoms. Consult your healthcare provider for personalised assessment of your levels.
Vitamin B7 (Biotin)
Vitamin B7 (biotin) is considered important for women's hair, skin, and nail health. Hormonal changes and pregnancy may increase biotin needs. Healthcare providers can help assess whether supplementation may be beneficial for you.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is considered important for women's immune health, collagen production for skin elasticity, and iron absorption. It may be especially relevant during menstruation and pregnancy. Consult your healthcare provider for personalised assessment.
Vitamin D (25-OH)
Your vitamin D levels show how much vitamin D your body has in store. In the Netherlands that store depends almost entirely on the UVB your skin caught last summer. Two groups come out low unusually often. The first is women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. The second is women who cover their skin or have darker skin. So the month of the blood draw belongs with the result. Any advice about supplementing runs through your midwife or GP.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E supports skin health, hormonal balance, and cellular protection — all important aspects of women's wellness throughout different life stages.
Vitamin K1
Vitamin K1 supports blood clotting and bone health, both important during menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause. Monitoring can help you understand your coagulation and bone status.
Zinc
Zinc supports skin health, immune function, and hormonal balance for women. Adequate levels may be important for reproductive health and healthy skin and hair.
