What Is a Blood Test?

A blood test involves drawing a small sample of your blood and analysing it in the laboratory to look for markers of health and disease. It is one of the most informative single investigations in general practice — from a few millilitres of blood, a doctor can assess organ function, screen for infections, measure hormones, identify nutritional deficiencies, track chronic disease control, and pick up early signs of conditions that have not yet caused symptoms.

Blood tests are commonly used to:

  • Evaluate overall health — routine panels as part of an annual or biennial check-up
  • Identify the presence of infections — from common ones like hepatitis B and HIV to specialised assays like QuantiFERON TB Gold Plus
  • Check organ function — particularly the liver, kidneys, and thyroid
  • Track chronic conditions — diabetes (HbA1c), cholesterol, and cardiovascular risk over time
  • Investigate symptoms — tiredness, weight changes, or other complaints where blood markers may point to a cause
  • Screen for cancer markers — with newer liquid-biopsy options able to detect early signals from circulating tumour DNA
  • Test for genetic conditions — such as thalassaemia, particularly relevant for couples planning a family
  • Clear pre-treatment requirements — before starting medications such as biologics that require infection screening

Which Blood Tests Do We Offer?

We offer the common blood tests requested in general practice, plus specialised assays for specific clinical or regulatory needs. The list below is organised by purpose — click through where a dedicated page is linked for the full details.

General health & organ function

  • Full Blood Count (FBC) — red cells, white cells, platelets; picks up anaemia, infection signs, clotting concerns
  • Cholesterol & Lipid Profile — total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides; cardiovascular risk assessment
  • Kidney Function (Renal Profile) — urea, creatinine, electrolytes, eGFR, plus urine albumin in the fuller panels
  • Liver Function — ALT, AST, ALP, GGT, bilirubin, albumin; used to detect fatty liver and hepatitis
  • Thyroid Function — TSH, free T3, free T4
  • Diabetes Panel — fasting glucose, HbA1c (glycated haemoglobin; 3-month average blood sugar)
  • Blood Group / Type
  • Vitamin Deficiency Panel — Vitamin B12, Folate, Vitamin D, iron studies

Infectious disease screening

  • QuantiFERON TB Gold Plus — Interferon-Gamma Release Assay (IGRA) for tuberculosis exposure; replaces the older Mantoux skin test and is unaffected by prior BCG vaccination
  • Hepatitis B Screening — HBsAg, anti-HBs, anti-HBc (for infection, immunity and prior exposure)
  • HIV & STD Testing — HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B and C panels
  • Dengue Serology — NS1 antigen, IgM and IgG antibodies
  • Measles, Mumps, Rubella IgG — immunity status, useful before pregnancy or starting healthcare work
  • Varicella IgG — chickenpox immunity
  • Serology panels — for other pathogens as clinically indicated

Hormones & reproductive health

  • Testosterone (total & free) — for symptoms of low T, andropause, or pre-TRT assessment
  • Female hormone panel — oestradiol, FSH, LH, progesterone, prolactin
  • Fertility panel — for couples investigating difficulty conceiving
  • Pregnancy Blood Test — quantitative beta-hCG
  • Cortisol — adrenal function

Cardiovascular & cancer markers

  • Lipoprotein(a) / Lp(a) — inherited, independent risk marker for heart attack and stroke that a standard lipid panel does not measure; usually a one-time test
  • hs-CRP — high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; a marker of low-grade inflammation used to refine cardiovascular risk beyond cholesterol
  • Homocysteine — an amino acid linked to B-vitamin status and associated with heart, stroke and clot risk
  • Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) — a direct count of artery-clogging particles; often a more accurate cardiovascular risk marker than LDL cholesterol
  • CardioHemeRISK Blood Test — advanced cardiovascular risk profiling beyond standard lipid panels
  • SPOT-MAS Cancer Blood Test — multi-cancer early detection using circulating tumour DNA signals
  • Liquid Biopsy — non-invasive cancer detection from blood
  • Tumour Marker Panels — CEA, AFP, CA 19-9, CA 125, PSA (as clinically appropriate)

Metabolic health & insulin resistance

  • HOMA-IR — an index of insulin resistance from fasting insulin and glucose; flags metabolic risk before blood sugar rises
  • Fasting Insulin — one of the earliest markers of insulin resistance, often raised before blood sugar or HbA1c changes

Allergy, autoimmune & specialty

  • IgE Allergy Blood Test — specific allergen panels for food, inhalants and contact triggers
  • Antinuclear Antibody (ANA) — screening for autoimmune conditions
  • D-Dimer — clot-related investigation
  • Coagulation Profile — PT, APTT; required before some surgical procedures
  • Thalassaemia Screening — haemoglobin electrophoresis, relevant for pre-marital and pre-pregnancy planning
  • Cotinine (Nicotine) Test — smoking status verification, sometimes required for insurance or pre-employment
  • Aluminium (blood or urine) — occupational exposure monitoring

Pre-operative clearance

Before some procedures, surgeons request a standard set of screening tests. A typical pre-operative package includes a Coagulation Profile (CG01), a Hepatitis B, C & HIV Profile (HP04), a Chest X-ray, and an ECG — WhatsApp us with your surgeon's checklist and we'll confirm what's needed.

If a test you need is not listed above, WhatsApp 8095 3275 with the test name and our team will confirm availability and price before you book.

Home Health Screening

Prefer to skip the clinic? We can arrange home health screening — a trained medical professional comes to your home or office for the blood draw and biometric measurements, and your results are emailed once the lab returns them. A doctor reviews any findings with you over WhatsApp or telemedicine afterwards. Practical for busy professionals, families screening together, or anyone with mobility concerns.

Get tested at home in just 15 minutes — only $54.50 NETT.

Convenient, discreet, and reliable. See the home screening packages and prices, or WhatsApp us to book.

What to Expect at Your Visit

  1. Brief consultation — your doctor will confirm what you want screened, check whether fasting was needed, take a relevant medical history, and identify any symptoms that warrant adding specific tests.
  2. Blood draw — a single sample is collected from a vein in your arm. Total appointment time is usually under 20 minutes for routine packages. Multiple tests can be processed from the same draw.
  3. Laboratory analysis — samples are processed at an accredited medical laboratory. Turnaround varies by the specific test; your doctor will give you an expected timeline at your visit.
  4. Result delivery — you receive the result by secure email. If you have requested a signed medical memo or stamped report for an employer, school or immigration authority, this is prepared at the same time.
  5. Follow-up — if a result is abnormal or needs explanation, your doctor will arrange a brief WhatsApp, telemedicine or in-person review and outline the next step (repeat testing, imaging, referral, treatment).

Fasting and preparation

Most of our screening packages do not require fasting — the default cholesterol test is non-fasting, and diabetes screening typically uses HbA1c (no fasting needed). Fasting is only required in specific situations:

Fasting requirements by package and situation
Situation Fasting required
Noble, Crown, Crown Plus, Royal, Jewel packages Include HbA1c (no fasting glucose needed); default cholesterol is non-fasting Not required
Ace ($76) and Elite ($130) packages Use fasting blood glucose to screen for diabetes (no HbA1c included), so food beforehand can artificially raise your reading 8 hours
Marvel package and above Includes Ultrasound Abdomen, which needs organs to be clearly visualised without interference from digestion 8 hours
Adding Ultrasound Abdomen or Ultrasound Liver to any package Organs need to be clearly visualised 8 hours
Known high cholesterol or currently on cholesterol medication Recommended for the most accurate lipid profile 8 to 10 hours

When fasting is required:

  • No food or drink other than plain water for at least 8 hours before your appointment
  • Avoid coffee, tea, juice, sweets and chewing gum during the fasting period
  • Take all regular medications as prescribed (including blood pressure, diabetes and blood-thinning medications) unless your doctor has advised otherwise

Cholesterol and triglyceride screening

Singapore Ministry of Health (MOH) guidelines do not require fasting for routine cholesterol testing. A few practical notes:

  • Avoid alcohol and fatty meals for 12 hours before your screening — these can raise triglyceride levels and skew your LDL calculation
  • If you have a history of high cholesterol or high triglycerides, let us know — we may advise an 8-hour fast regardless of your package for the most accurate lipid profile

If you are menstruating on the day of your appointment

Please let our team know if you are menstruating on the day of your health screening. Ideally, schedule your appointment for 10 to 14 days after the start of your last period. You can still proceed if menstruating, but be aware that menstruation may affect the CA125 tumour marker result and may cause blood to appear in urine or stool samples.

FAQ

Blood Tests: Common Questions

What patients in Singapore most often ask about blood tests at our clinics.

Can I customise my blood test in Singapore?

Yes. If you have specific tests in mind — whether for symptoms you're tracking, an employer or insurance request, pre-treatment clearance, or general curiosity about a particular biomarker — WhatsApp us with the test names and we will confirm availability and price before you book. Custom requests need a brief consultation (consultation fee $49.05 NETT) so your doctor can ensure the test is appropriate and interpret the result in context.

Do I need to fast before a blood test?

Most of our packages do not require fasting because they include HbA1c (for diabetes screening) and use a non-fasting cholesterol test as the default. An 8-hour fast is required for the Ace ($76) and Elite ($130) packages (which use fasting blood glucose), for Marvel and above (which include Ultrasound Abdomen), and any time you add Ultrasound Abdomen or Ultrasound Liver to another package. If you have known high cholesterol or are on cholesterol medication, an 8 to 10 hour fast is recommended regardless of package. Singapore MOH guidelines do not require fasting for cholesterol, but avoid alcohol and fatty meals for 12 hours before the screening as these can skew triglycerides and LDL. Plain water and your usual medications are fine during the fasting period.

How long do blood test results take?

Turnaround varies by the test, ranging from 1 to 7 working days. Routine panels (FBC, lipids, glucose, liver function, renal function) are usually back within 1 to 2 working days. Specialised assays like QuantiFERON TB Gold Plus take 2 to 5 working days; liquid biopsy and complex cancer panels can take up to 7 working days. Results are delivered securely by email, with a brief consultation arranged if any value needs explanation or follow-up.

Can I claim a blood test under MediSave or my insurance?

Most routine blood tests at private GP clinics are paid out of pocket and not directly MediSave-claimable. However, blood tests done as part of certain national screening programmes (e.g., Healthier SG, Screen for Life) and tests done for chronic disease management under CDMP may have MediSave or subsidy eligibility for Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents. Most corporate and personal insurance policies reimburse blood tests if ordered for medical investigation rather than wellness screening — check with your insurer before the visit if cost recovery is important.

Will I need to come back in person for the results?

Not necessarily. Most blood test results can be reviewed via WhatsApp or a brief telemedicine consultation once they are back. If a result needs further work-up (chest X-ray, further blood tests, ultrasound, referral) your doctor will explain the next step and arrange it. In-person review is offered if you prefer it.

Can you provide a signed medical memo for my employer, school or immigration application?

Yes. For QuantiFERON TB Gold Plus and most other blood tests, we can prepare a signed medical memo or stamped report formatted for your employer, school, or immigration authority at the same visit. The memo is an optional add-on charged at $49.05 NETT. Let us know the purpose when you book and the exact form your authority requires.

Which health screening package is right for me?

It depends on your age, family history, current health and what you actually want to find out. Entry-level packages are sensible for younger adults with no specific concerns; mid-tier packages add hormonal and cardiovascular markers; premium tiers add cancer markers, imaging and more detailed panels, which are typically sensible from around age 45 onwards or when there is significant family history. Pre-marital packages cover reproductive and infectious-disease screening for couples preparing for marriage. WhatsApp us with your age and any specific concerns, and our team will recommend a package that fits — your doctor can also tailor the contents at the visit.
