verepõhiste

Verepõhiste is an Estonian term that translates to "blood-based" in English. It is primarily used in a medical or scientific context to refer to diagnostic tests or analyses that are performed on a blood sample. These tests are crucial for evaluating a person's health, diagnosing diseases, and monitoring treatment effectiveness.

Common blood-based tests include complete blood counts (CBC), which analyze different components of the blood such as red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Lipid profiles assess cholesterol and triglyceride levels, vital for heart health. Blood glucose tests are used to diagnose and manage diabetes. Serological tests detect antibodies or antigens, aiding in the diagnosis of infectious diseases like HIV or hepatitis.

The process of collecting a blood sample for verepõhiste analysis typically involves venipuncture, where a needle is inserted into a vein, usually in the arm. The collected blood is then sent to a laboratory for processing and analysis. The results provide valuable information to healthcare professionals for making informed decisions about patient care. The interpretation of verepõhiste results requires specialized knowledge and should always be done by a qualified medical practitioner.
