Common Blood Tests Explained: What They Check and Why They Matter

Medically Reviewed by Dr Sabrina Campbell BSc MBBS MRCGP FRACGP MSc. Last reviewed on 8th Jan 2026.

Thyroid tests check how well your thyroid gland is working. The thyroid controls your metabolism, energy levels, body temperature, and many hormone-driven processes.

These tests are commonly ordered if you’re experiencing symptoms such as:

Abnormal results may suggest an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) or an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism).

Iron studies measure how much iron is circulating in your blood and how much is stored in your body. Ferritin is the key marker used to assess iron stores.

These tests are important when investigating:

Low iron levels are a very common cause of fatigue in Australia and may occur even before anaemia develops.

A lipid profile measures different types of cholesterol and fats in your blood to assess your risk of heart disease.

This test looks at:

High cholesterol often causes no symptoms, which is why regular screening is important, especially if you have a family history of heart disease or other risk factors.

Blood sugar tests help assess how well your body manages glucose. The HbA1c test shows your average blood sugar levels over the past 2–3 months, making it the most reliable test for identifying:

It provides a more complete picture than a single fasting blood sugar test and is often used for both diagnosis and ongoing monitoring.

Inflammatory markers are used to detect inflammation somewhere in the body.

These tests are commonly requested when investigating:

While they don’t diagnose a specific condition on their own, they help guide further investigation.

These tests check how well your liver and kidneys are working.

These tests are commonly requested when investigating:

While they don’t diagnose a specific condition on their own, they help guide further investigation.

A full blood count is one of the most frequently ordered blood tests. It measures:

This test helps screen for anaemia, infections, immune system activity, and general overall health.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about getting blood test referrals online.

MediLeave does not provide an instant blood test referral for emergencies. Our service can be suitable when your situation needs checking but is not immediately threatening, such as when you have ongoing symptoms, follow-up testing or a new concern that needs investigation.

If you have urgent healthcare needs, you must go to your nearest emergency department or call 000.

With us, you can request an online GP consultation for blood test referrals as often as needed, as long as it is relevant to your situation and is clinically appropriate.

That might mean repeating the same test after some time to check for changes or requesting a different blood test for a separate concern. Each request is still assessed by a doctor based on your symptoms, history and reason for requesting.

Sometimes further investigations are necessary beyond a simple blood test. If your health situation calls for it, advanced diagnostics like X-rays, CT scans, MRIs or ultrasounds might be the next step. In such cases, collaboration with a specialist could be the right course of action, and a doctor is ready to assist by reviewing your symptoms to determine if a specialist referral online is needed.

Once a specialist is deemed appropriate, you’ll receive a referral letter to help move your care forward.
