Longevity Blood Test in Chiang Mai: What to Check, What It Costs, and What the Results Can (and Can’t) Tell You
A longevity check-up is not about testing everything. It is about measuring the markers that predict the common problems of later life, then acting on them. Here is what we test, why, and how to read the results sensibly.
The core markers
| Marker | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| HbA1c and fasting glucose | Average blood sugar over about 3 months. Picks up prediabetes years before symptoms appear |
| Lipids (total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides) | The main modifiable risk factors for heart attack and stroke |
| Kidney (BUN, creatinine, eGFR) and liver (AST, ALT, ALP, albumin) | Organ function, fatty liver, and the effect of alcohol or medicines |
| Complete blood count | Anaemia, infection, platelet problems |
| hs-CRP | Low-grade inflammation. It adds to heart-risk assessment, but rises with any recent cold or injury |
| Uric acid | Gout risk, often linked with metabolic health |
| Thyroid (TSH, FT3, FT4) | A common, treatable cause of fatigue, weight change and low mood |
| Vitamin D, B12, calcium, magnesium | Common deficiencies, especially with limited sun, vegetarian diets or certain medicines |
| Testosterone or estradiol | Energy, libido, muscle and bone health; useful context in midlife |

An honest note on tumour markers
How to prepare
- Fast for 8–12 hours before the test. Plain water is fine
- Avoid alcohol for 24 hours and hard exercise the day before
- Take your usual medicines unless the doctor tells you otherwise, and bring a list
- If you have just had a cold or fever, consider waiting a week: it can push up hs-CRP
What happens after the results
Numbers only matter if they lead to a plan. The doctor goes through each result with you, explains what is normal for your age, and agrees what to change: nutrition, sleep, exercise, follow-up testing in 3–12 months, or treatment where needed. Retesting the same markers over time is where a longevity check-up becomes really useful.
