Die Wahrheit über Blutwerte: Warum der Arzt oft die falschen Werte testet.

"Which blood values ​​are really important?" – thousands of people Google this every day. Many diseases, such as diabetes, heart attack risk, fatty liver, kidney, or thyroid problems, develop gradually – and often go unnoticed for a long time. In this video, I'll show you the crucial blood values ​​for early detection, briefly explain what they mean, and which values ​​you should specifically ask about at your next checkup – not just "within the reference range," but in a meaningful context. 📘The best foods (guide): https://bit.ly/Ratgeber6_Lebensmittel 📘"Healthy for the future" – an invitation to long-term health: https://bit.ly/inZukunftgesund 00:00 | Annual blood values 01:40 | Sugar metabolism 03:19 | Cardiovascular risk 05:51 | My insider tips 09:29 | Liver function 11:39 | Kidney function 14:24 | Thyroid function 15:59 | Inflammation markers 18:04 | Micronutrients #bloodtest #medicine #health Fasting glucose is only meaningful if you have fasted for at least 8 hours and can provide early indications of impaired glucose tolerance or insulin resistance. HbA1c (long-term blood sugar) reflects the average blood sugar level over the last 2-3 months and is important because it is not a snapshot in time. In cases of increased risk of diabetes (e.g., family history), fasting glucose and HbA1c testing are recommended at least once a year. LDL cholesterol promotes the formation of plaque on artery walls, thus increasing the risk of narrowing of the arteries and heart attack. ApoB measures the number of atherogenic lipoprotein particles and can better assess cardiovascular risk, especially in at-risk individuals, than LDL alone. Triglycerides are storage fats in the blood and, particularly in combination with high LDL, increase the risk of heart attack and vascular problems. Lipoprotein(a) levels are genetically determined, change very little, and should be measured at least once in a lifetime, especially in cases of family history or existing cardiovascular disease. The Omega-3/Omega-6 index shows the ratio of these two fatty acids; the research is inconsistent and the value is not standardized, therefore it is more of a supplementary measure than a mandatory one. The HOMA index is calculated from fasting glucose and fasting insulin levels and can indicate insulin resistance early, but it is not a diagnostic value on its own. Free testosterone (especially in men) can be useful in cases of fatigue, loss of libido, or muscle weakness. ALT is a liver enzyme; Elevated levels can indicate damage to liver cells (acute or chronic). AST is also found in heart and muscle tissue and is nonspecific on its own, but can be helpful in its classification when used in conjunction with ALT. GGT is frequently elevated in cases of cholestasis or chronic alcohol consumption, but can also increase in liver diseases and should be evaluated in context. Bilirubin is a breakdown product of hemoglobin; Significantly elevated levels can manifest as jaundice (yellow skin/eyes). Studies cited: Study 1: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34773...
