was sagt ein großes blutbild aus — can a microbiome test help?

A complete blood count (CBC) measures red/white blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelets. It helps detect anemia, infection, inflammation, or clotting disorders, but it is not a comprehensive health screen. A microbiome test, on the other hand, analyzes gut bacterial composition. Current evidence is mostly associative and marketing-driven: these tests can show relative abundances but cannot diagnose diseases. Personalized diet advice from such tests lacks strong RCT support. For specific symptoms, a microbiome test is no substitute for medical diagnostics. If you want to assess general health, start with a CBC and other clinical markers.
