Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is the main signal the body uses to grow new blood vessels. It is produced normally during wound healing, exercise adaptation, and the menstrual cycle, and abnormally by some tumours and in conditions where tissue is short of oxygen. The clearest clinical use is POEMS syndrome, a rare plasma-cell disorder in which a markedly raised VEGF is a diagnostic criterion and falls with treatment. VEGF is also measured in research and specialist settings in some cancers, diabetic eye disease, pre-eclampsia work-ups, and in protocols for chronic inflammatory response syndrome, where both low and high values are discussed. Interpretation has a technical wrinkle: platelets release VEGF as blood clots, so serum levels (this test) run higher than plasma levels and depend partly on your platelet count — compare results only with the same specimen type and laboratory. This is a research-grade marker rather than a screening test, and a single value should be read by a clinician who knows why it was ordered.
General health testing provides a baseline snapshot of organ function, metabolism, and key biomarkers — useful for annual checkups, preventive care, and tracking changes over time.
Adults wanting a routine wellness baseline, anyone re-engaging with healthcare after a gap, and people tracking the impact of lifestyle or medication changes.
