  • Triglycerides: a measure of the actual fat in your blood.
  • CRP-hs: a marker for inflammation in the body.
  • Lipoprotein (a) or Lp(a): a genetic variation of LDL cholesterol that is a significant risk factor for the early development of fatty deposits in arteries.
  • Apolipoproteins A to E: proteins that attach to fats in our blood. High levels of ApoA are protective against heart disease. In contrast, high levels of ApoB represent a higher risk of heart disease. ApoE test evaluates genetic susceptibility to Alzheimer's disease.
  • High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP): A biomarker used to measure inflammation levels in the body. It aids in assessing the risk of cardiovascular disease and provides valuable information for preventive strategies.

Kidney health

  • Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN): A measure of urea nitrogen in the blood. It helps assess kidney function and hydration status. The biomarker indicates BUN levels, aiding in diagnosing kidney and liver diseases, dehydration, and evaluating kidney function.
  • Creatinine: A waste product produced by muscles from creatine. It helps assess kidney function and muscle health. The biomarker indicates creatinine levels, aiding in detecting and monitoring kidney diseases and evaluating renal function.
  • Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR): A calculation of kidney function by measuring the rate at which the kidneys filter blood. The biomarker assesses renal function, helps diagnose and monitor kidney disease, and guides medication dosing.
  • Phosphorus: An essential mineral involved in energy production, DNA synthesis, and bone formation. The biomarker indicates phosphorus levels, assisting in diagnosing and monitoring conditions related to bone health, kidney function, and metabolic disorders.
  • Serum Calcium: By measuring calcium levels in the blood, the test helps assess bone health, nerve function, and muscle contraction. The biomarker indicates serum calcium levels, aiding in diagnosing calcium-related disorders, such as osteoporosis, kidney disease, and parathyroid disorders.
  • Serum Electrolytes: Minerals in the blood that help maintain fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle contraction. The biomarker indicates electrolyte levels (sodium, potassium, chloride) and aids in assessing hydration status and kidney function and identifying electrolyte imbalances.
  • Urine Microalbumin: Measuring small amounts of albumin in the urine helps detect early kidney damage in conditions like diabetes. The biomarker indicates microalbumin levels, aiding in monitoring kidney health and identifying kidney disease at an early stage.
  • Urine Protein: The biomarker indicates protein levels in urine, aiding in diagnosing and monitoring kidney disorders, such as glomerulonephritis or kidney damage caused by diabetes or hypertension.

Liver health profile

  • Albumin: A protein the liver produces that helps transport substances in the blood. Low levels can indicate liver damage or disease.
  • Bilirubin: A yellowish pigment produced during the breakdown of red blood cells. High levels can indicate liver disease or a blocked bile duct.
  • Gamma-GT (GGT): An enzyme in the liver that is elevated in people with liver disease, heavy drinkers, and those taking certain medications.
  • Hepatitis markers: Indicators used to diagnose and monitor hepatitis infections. They help detect specific antibodies or antigens related to different types of hepatitis viruses. These biomarkers aid in identifying the presence and progression of viral hepatitis infections.
  • Liver enzymes: Proteins released by the liver during cellular processes. They help assess liver function and detect liver damage or diseases. The biomarker indicates levels of specific enzymes like ALT, AST, and ALP, aiding in diagnosing liver conditions and monitoring treatment response.
  • Prothrombin time (PT): Measures the time for blood to clot. It assesses the functioning of the clotting factors in the blood. The biomarker indicates PT values, aiding in monitoring anticoagulant therapy, detecting bleeding disorders, and evaluating liver function.
  • Total protein: Measures the total amount of protein in your blood. Low levels can indicate liver disease.

Diabetes

  • HbA1c: A form of haemoglobin chemically modified by binding glucose molecules. The HbA1c level can be expressed as a percentage of total haemoglobin.
  • Glucose: Vital energy source for the body. Raised glucose levels can indicate insulin resistance or poor diabetic control in an existing diabetic.
  • C-peptide: A biomarker measured by a test to evaluate insulin production. It helps to distinguish between type 1 and type 2, and differentiate between different causes of blood sugar problems.
  • Insulin: Hormone regulating blood sugar levels. Insulin test measures its concentration in the blood to assess for insulin resistance, evaluate diabetes treatment, and evaluate functioning of the pancreas.

Iron

  • Iron - This biomarker measures the level of iron, which is necessary for the production of haemoglobin. Low levels of iron can cause anaemia and contribute to fatigue.
  • Ferritin: A biomarker reflecting iron levels in the body. The test measures ferritin levels to diagnose iron deficiency or excess, monitor treatment, and evaluate conditions like anaemia and liver disease.

Bone Health

  • Alkaline phosphatase (ALP): An enzyme found in the liver and bone. Elevated levels can indicate liver disease or bone-related conditions.
  • Calcium: Essential mineral for bone health and bodily functions. Calcium test measures blood levels to assess bone health and nerve/muscle function and detect disorders.
  • Parathyroid hormone (PTH): A hormone that regulates calcium levels. The PTH test measures its concentration in blood, aiding in diagnosing and monitoring conditions like hyperparathyroidism and hyperparathyroidism.
  • Phosphate: An inorganic chemical compound containing phosphorus. It plays a crucial role in biological processes such as energy transfer, DNA synthesis, and cell signaling. The biomarker indicates phosphate levels and can help assess metabolic disorders and bone health.
  • Vitamin D: A vital fat-soluble vitamin that supports bone, muscle, and immune system health. Our bodies process Vitamin D when exposed to sunlight. We obtain vitamin D by consumption of specific foods and or supplements.

Thyroid Health

  • Triiodothyronine (FT3) is a thyroid hormone that regulates your body's energy. This test ensures that your body is processing your free thyroxine (T4) properly.
  • Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH): A hormone that regulates the release of hormones from your thyroid. This test can check for hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism.
  • Free thyroxine (FT4): The main hormone produced by your thyroid that regulates the energy your body uses. Free T4 measures the amount of T4 that's available for your body to use. This test can help check for hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism.
  • Ant-Tg test detects and measures the presence of anti-thyroglobulin antibodies. It helps diagnose autoimmune thyroid diseases and predict future thyroid dysfunction.
  • The Anti-TPO test measures the level of antibodies against thyroid peroxidase enzyme. It helps diagnose autoimmune thyroid diseases and predict future thyroid dysfunction.

Other

  • Urinalysis: Information on hydration status, kidney function, and potential infections or abnormalities. Maintaining proper hydration and kidney function is important for overall health and performance.
  • CA-125: A biomarker protein found in the blood. It's primarily used to monitor ovarian cancer, aid in diagnosis, track treatment response, and detect recurrence. Elevated levels can indicate cancer presence or other conditions, but it's not specific enough for a definitive diagnosis.
