Albumin

Albumin is the most abundant protein in your blood and your liver makes every bit of it. Low levels can signal liver trouble, kidney issues, or poor nutrition.

ALP

ALP is an enzyme that pops up all over your body -- liver, kidneys, gut, bones. When it's elevated, the detective work begins: is it liver or bone?

ALT

ALT is your liver's way of waving a red flag. When liver cells take a hit, they leak this enzyme into your blood. Catching it early is everything.

AST

AST is an enzyme with a side hustle. It lives in the liver, but also in the heart and muscles. That makes it a broader signal -- useful, but best read in context.

Bilirubin

Bilirubin is the yellow pigment your body makes when it recycles old red blood cells. When it builds up, your liver might be asking for help.

Calcium

Calcium is one of the most abundant minerals in the body, vital for cell signalling, nerve transmission, muscle contraction, and heart function.

Hemoglobin

Hemoglobin is the iron-rich protein inside red blood cells that transports oxygen from the lungs to every tissue in the body.

EVF Blood Test

The EVF blood test measures erythrocyte volume fraction (hematocrit) to assess the proportion of red blood cells in your blood.

MCV

MCV measures the average size of your red blood cells and is a key marker for classifying different types of anemia.

MCH

MCH measures the average amount of hemoglobin in a single red blood cell and helps classify types of anemia.

Erythrocytes

Erythrocytes are red blood cells that carry oxygen throughout the body. Measuring their count helps detect anemia, polycythemia, and other blood disorders.

Leukocytes

Leukocytes are white blood cells that defend the body against infections, inflammation, and disease. Their count reveals the state of your immune system.

Platelets

Platelets are small cell fragments in the blood that help form clots to stop bleeding. Their count reveals clotting ability and bleeding risk.

CRP, high-sensitivity

CRP is a protein the liver produces during inflammation. The high-sensitivity version measures low levels accurately and is used to assess long-term, low-grade inflammation.

Ferritin

Ferritin reflects the amount of iron stored in the body. It is the earliest marker to fall in iron deficiency, often before haemoglobin changes and before anaemia develops.

Gamma Glutamyl Transferase (GGT)

GGT tells it like it is. This liver enzyme tracks alcohol impact, liver stress, and -- surprise -- even cardiovascular risk. It's more useful than most people realise.

Blood Glucose

Fasting blood glucose shows how much sugar is in your blood after at least ten hours without food. It is used to detect insulin resistance, pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes.

HbA1c

HbA1c shows your average blood glucose over the past two to three months. It is used to detect diabetes and pre-diabetes, and to follow diabetes treatment.

Homocysteine

Homocysteine is a sulphur-containing amino acid linked to cardiovascular disease, stroke, cognitive impairment, and B-vitamin deficiencies when elevated.

Magnesium

Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in over 300 biochemical reactions, including nerve function, muscle contraction, and heart rhythm regulation.

Potassium

Potassium is a key electrolyte essential for heart rhythm, muscle contraction, and nerve signalling. Imbalances can have serious health consequences.

Serum Iron

Serum iron measures the amount of iron circulating in your blood. Together with ferritin and transferrin, it provides a comprehensive picture of your iron status.

Sodium

Sodium is a major electrolyte that regulates fluid balance, nerve impulses, and muscle function. Abnormal levels can indicate dehydration, kidney issues, or hormonal disorders.

Transferrin

Transferrin is the main protein that binds to iron and transports it through the bloodstream. It is an essential part of any iron panel for diagnosing deficiency or overload.

Transferrin Saturation %

Transferrin saturation percentage estimates how many of transferrin's iron-binding sites are occupied. It is a key calculated marker for diagnosing iron deficiency and iron overload.

Urea

Urea is a nitrogen-containing waste product formed in the liver from protein breakdown and cleared by the kidneys. It reflects both kidney and liver function.

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin critical for nerve function, red blood cell formation and DNA synthesis. Deficiency is common and can cause lasting neurological damage if untreated.

Folate

Folate (vitamin B9) is a water-soluble vitamin essential for DNA synthesis, red blood cell formation and healthy fetal development. Deficiency can lead to anaemia and birth defects.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin essential for bone formation, immune defence, and muscle, heart and brain function. Deficiency is widespread, especially in northern latitudes.

Neutrophils

Neutrophils are the most common white blood cells and serve as the body's first responders against bacterial and fungal infections.

Lymphocytes Blood Test

The lymphocyte blood test measures the level of lymphocytes, key immune cells that protect against viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens.

Monocytes

Monocytes are large white blood cells that play a key role in fighting chronic infections, removing damaged cells, and regulating inflammation.

Eosinophils

Eosinophils are a type of white blood cell involved in allergic responses, parasitic infections, and inflammatory conditions.

Basophils

Basophils are the least common white blood cells, playing an important role in allergic reactions, inflammation, and immune regulation.

Zinc

Zinc is an essential mineral and antioxidant involved in immune defence, wound healing, cell formation, and testosterone production.
