Using the Diagnosis API
To use the Diagnosis API:
1. Replace DEMO_AuthenticationID with your production registered ID.
2. After sending the POST request, the API will generate a list of probable health conditions.
3. Retrieve the diagnoses list using a GET request:
```
https://diagnosisapi.azurewebsites.net/api/DDxItems/9999?AuthenticationID=
```
* In the request URL, replace `9999` with the ID you used in your POST request.
* The Postman collection at https://www.postman.com/collections/7445d89fda1d633e08dd provides an example GET request.
Importance of Routine Bloodwork
Routine bloodwork plays a crucial role in diagnosing diseases and other medical issues. It can help detect problems early on and track your health over time.
Components of Routine Bloodwork
* Complete Blood Count (CBC): Screens white blood cells, red blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelets.
* Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP): Assesses sodium, glucose, and electrolytes, providing insights into your muscles, joints, organs, and bones.
Frequency of Bloodwork
The recommended frequency of bloodwork depends on age and overall health. In general, it's recommended to get a blood test annually. Individuals with pre-existing conditions may need more frequent bloodwork.
Tracking Results
Monitor your bloodwork results over time to identify potential concerns and observe any changes that may indicate a health issue.
