When should blood tests be performed on a small child?
The Child Test Package (ages 1-3) can be performed as a preventive measure or when there are medical indications. Symptoms that should draw your attention and motivate you to conduct tests for your child include:
- growth retardation;
- poor cold tolerance;
- changes on the elbows and knees (dirty elbows symptom);
- constipation;
- concentration disorders;
- distorted appetite (e.g., eating chalk, raw rice, and things not meant for consumption);
- easy fatigue;
- frequent urination;
- delayed dental age;
- dry skin;
- dry, dull, easily falling out hair;
- sleepiness;
- tendency to gain weight despite reduced appetite;
- paleness of the skin;
- increased thirst.
Why is it worth performing the Child Test Package (ages 1-3) at home?
As a parent, you want the best for your child. You provide them with activities and entertainment that broaden their horizons, teach them navigation in the modern world, and ensure they are healthy. It’s worth checking if everything is functioning as it should from the inside and if the child has the resources for proper development. The Child Test Package (ages 1-3) identifies key deficiencies in elements essential for the development of a young organism and allows for the detection of diseases such as anemia or allergies even before symptoms appear. All 9 tests can be performed in the familiar and safe environment of your child's favorite toys: in your home.
It’s important to note that the child’s immune system is still developing. As a parent, you surely know how easy it is to catch an infection. By opting for home blood collection, you significantly reduce your child's exposure to viruses and other pathogens.
How to prepare your child for a blood draw?
- Schedule the test in the morning between 7-10 AM.
- Half an hour before the test, ensure your child is hydrated – feed them milk or give them a little water.
- Wake your child at least 30 minutes before the specialist's visit. This time is for offering a glass of water and preparing your child emotionally for the blood draw.
Full list of tests in the package:
- Complete blood count (CBC)
This test helps in the overall assessment of health. In young children, it is especially important as it helps detect anemia, often caused by iron deficiencies. These particularly affect infants and small children, as they are in a phase of intensive bodily development. Another such intense period is during adolescence.
- CRP (quantitative)
This is an acute phase protein that increases, among other things, in inflammatory states. Based on the test result, the doctor can determine the severity of the inflammation and decide on the treatment.
- Total bilirubin
A blood pigment that allows us to assess liver function. Its elevated level often accompanies jaundice.
- Iron
A fundamental element that supports the transport of oxygen to tissues. In children during the phase of intensive development, the demand for iron is greater than in adults, making it easier to develop deficiencies.
- Ferritin
A parameter that indicates iron reserves in the body.
- TSH
A hormone from the pituitary gland that stimulates the production of thyroid hormones.
- Creatinine
An indicator of kidney function.
- Glucose
A measurement of blood sugar levels. This test allows for diabetes diagnosis.
- Vitamin D
This vitamin influences the proper development of the child's bones. It also stimulates cells to produce antibodies that protect the immune system and reduces the risk of hypertension, cancer, and autoimmune diseases.
Factors that may influence the result
- Inadequate hydration
- Active inflammatory states
- Some medications
- The child's nutritional status
- Existing diseases
