A vitamin D test is a simple blood test. It checks the level of vitamin D in your body. Many people in sunny Thailand are still low. You can get a vitamin D test in Ao Nang with same-day results. A doctor reads your result and tells you what to do next.

A uric acid test is a blood test that measures the level of uric acid, the waste product that causes gout when it builds up. A sudden, red, swollen, painful joint is the classic sign. A uric acid test helps a doctor confirm gout before treating it. Our Ao Nang lab gives same-day results, and the doctor explains yours.

An H. pylori test checks for a common stomach bug that can cause ongoing indigestion, gastritis, and ulcers. It can be found with a breath test, a stool test, or a blood test. If you have had weeks of burning stomach pain, an H. pylori test can find the cause. Our Ao Nang clinic offers testing with same-day results on many options.

The dengue NS1 test is a rapid blood test that can confirm dengue in the first days of a fever, often in under an hour. It looks for a dengue protein that shows up early in the illness. In Krabi’s rainy season, a dengue NS1 test helps a doctor spot dengue fast. Same-day results at our Ao Nang lab.

The HbA1c test is a blood test that shows your average blood sugar over about three months. Unlike a fasting sugar test, the HbA1c test needs no fasting, so you can take it any time of day. Doctors use it to screen for and manage diabetes. Our Ao Nang lab gives same-day results, and the doctor explains yours.

A full blood count is one of the most common blood tests a doctor can order. It counts your red cells, white cells, and platelets from a single sample. A full blood count can hint at infection, anaemia, or a problem with clotting. A doctor reads the whole result together, with same-day results at our Ao Nang lab.

A kidney function test is a blood test that checks how well your kidneys clean your blood. It measures waste products your kidneys should filter out, so rising levels can be a clue they are under strain. Dehydration, common in Krabi’s heat, can affect the numbers too. A doctor reads your kidney function test in full, with same-day results.

A liver function test is a blood test that checks how well your liver is working. It measures enzymes and other markers that can rise when the liver is stressed or irritated. Holiday life, with more drinking and rich food, can nudge these numbers. A doctor reads your liver function test in full, with same-day results at our Ao Nang lab.

A cholesterol test, also called a lipid panel, is a blood test that measures the fats in your blood. It looks at your total cholesterol, the ‘good’ and ‘bad’ types, and your triglycerides. A doctor uses a cholesterol test to judge your heart and blood-vessel risk. Our Ao Nang lab gives same-day results, and the doctor explains what yours mean.

A thyroid test is a simple blood test that checks the gland in your neck that sets your body’s pace. When it runs slow, you can feel tired, cold, and gain weight. When it runs fast, you may feel jittery, hot, and lose weight. A thyroid test helps a doctor find the cause, with same-day results at our Ao Nang lab.
