Personalized Blood Tests: A New Era in Early Disease Detection
A new study suggests that the complete blood count (CBC), a routine part of blood tests, could help identify or predict various diseases such as heart problems, Type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, and kidney disease. Researchers found that each individual has a unique 'set point' for blood components, which could be used to diagnose early-stage diseases in seemingly healthy individuals. The study highlights the potential of CBCs in personalized medicine and early intervention, noting associations between blood cell metrics and disease risks.
