Patient's question:
I was pregnant for the first time and hadn't had a thorough check-up yet. My friend said that during prenatal check-ups, blood tests would involve drawing a lot of blood. I'm a bit afraid of getting blood drawn and don't know if it's really necessary. I'd like to ask, what exactly does a blood test during prenatal check-ups examine?Doctor's answer:
Prenatal blood test items: Hemoglobin and red blood cells: Hemoglobin's main function is to carry oxygen, with a normal concentration range of 110~150 g/L. White blood cells can be classified into 5 categories by percentage: White blood cells play a role in eliminating pathogens and protecting national health within the body.
