Biomarkers by system
Heart(10)
ApoA1ApoA1 is a protein that carries the body's 'good' cholesterol (HDL). A high level may indicate a lower risk of cardiovascular disease because ApoA1 helps the body to transport excess cholesterol away from the blood vessels.ApoBApoB is the protein that carries LDL cholesterol and other harmful blood fats. An elevated ApoB means that there are more particles that can negatively affect the vessel walls. Research has shown that ApoB is one of the main risk markers for the development of cardiovascular disease.ApoB/ApoA1 RatioThe ApoB/ApoA1 ratio shows the ratio of harmful to protective blood fats. It is currently used as one of the most accurate markers for assessing the risk of cardiovascular disease, including heart attack and stroke.HDLHDL, also known as 'good cholesterol', helps transport excess cholesterol from the body's tissues to the liver where it can be excreted.LDLLDL, often referred to as "the bad cholesterol," carries cholesterol through the body and, at high levels, can contribute to fat being deposited in the walls of blood vessels.LDL/HDL RatioThe balance between LDL and HDL is illustrated by this ratio. It is used to assess how the body manages cholesterol and can give an indication of the risk of cardiovascular disease.Lp(a)A particle similar to LDL cholesterol but with an additional protein, apo(a). Levels are mainly determined by genetics and are not significantly influenced by lifestyle. Raised levels increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, which makes it especially important to lower other blood lipids and manage additional risk factors.Non-HDLThe sum of all types of cholesterol that can contribute to atherosclerosis, mainly LDL and VLDL. The value gives an overall measure of the 'bad' cholesterol in the blood.Total CholesterolThe sum of all types of cholesterol in your blood, including LDL, HDL, VLDL and other fatty particles. This value provides an initial overview of your blood lipid profile and is complemented by a more detailed breakdown of the different components.TriglyceridesTriglycerides are a type of fat that the body uses mainly as an energy source. They circulate in the blood and are stored in fat tissue when not directly used.
Thyroid(3)
Free T3An active thyroid hormone that affects body cells and metabolism. Free T3 provides direct information on the energy regulating function of the thyroid gland.Free T4A thyroid hormone that is the precursor to T3. Free T4 is the unbound fraction circulating in the blood, and together with T3 it supports the body's metabolism, energy levels and heat regulation.TSHA hormone of the pituitary gland that controls thyroid production of T3 and T4.
Kidneys(9)
AlbuminA protein produced in the liver that transports nutrients, hormones and other important molecules in the blood. Albumin also helps to keep the fluid balance stable by regulating the osmotic pressure in the bloodstream.CreatinineA waste product of muscle energy use that is excreted by the kidneys. Measuring creatinine in the blood helps us to see how effectively the kidneys are filtering out waste products.Cystatin CCystatin C is produced by all cells in the body and is considered one of the most reliable ('gold standard') markers for measuring kidney function. It shows how efficiently the kidneys are cleaning the blood and helps us to detect early signs of deteriorating kidney function.eGFR AverageA combination of eGFR from both cystatin C and creatinine, giving a more comprehensive view of kidney capacity.eGFR (Creatinine)A calculated estimate of kidney function based on the amount of creatinine in the blood, a residual product of muscle energy expenditure. Gives a picture of the kidneys' ability to purify the blood.eGFR (Cystatin C)A calculated estimate of kidney function based on the level of Cystatin C. This is considered a reliable indicator of how well the kidneys filter the blood and remove waste products.PhosphatePhosphorus compounds, which are part of ATP (the body's main energy carrier), build bones and teeth and act as a buffer in the body's acid-base balance.UrateEnd product of purine metabolism that circulates in the blood and is excreted via urine. The value reflects the balance between purine degradation and the ability of the kidneys to remove the substance.UreaResidue from the breakdown of proteins in the liver that is transported in the blood and filtered out by the kidneys. The analysis provides a quick picture of protein turnover and the kidneys' capacity to excrete nitrogen.
Metabolic(4)
GlucoseThe body's main source of energy that cells use to get energy. Measuring glucose provides a snapshot of your blood sugar in the here and now.HbA1cHbA1c reflects your average blood glucose over the last 2-3 months. It shows how glucose binds to hemoglobin in the red blood cells and thus provides a stable overview of your sugar balance over time.HOMA-IRA calculated value that combines fasting insulin and fasting blood glucose to estimate the degree of insulin resistance. It shows how much insulin the body needs to keep blood glucose in check and provides a quick overview of the relationship between the work of the pancreas and the sensitivity of tissues to the hormone.Fasting InsulinA hormone produced by the pancreas that allows cells to take up glucose and store energy, helping to keep blood glucose levels steady.
Inflammation(7)
BasophilA type of white blood cell that releases histamine and other neurotransmitters when the immune system needs to be boosted, for example during allergic reactions or parasite infestations.EosinophilWhite blood cells that fight parasites and participate in allergic reactions. The number shows how the immune system deals with parasite attacks and allergens.ESRMeasures how quickly red blood cells drop in a test tube over one hour. The rate is influenced by plasma proteins and is used as a rough measure of inflammation.hs-CRPHigh-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) is a sensitive marker of low-grade inflammation in the body and is used as part of estimating the risk of developing cardiovascular disease.LymphocyteWhite blood cells — B, T and NK cells — that coordinate the adaptive immune system. Their numbers indicate how well the body can identify and neutralize viruses, tumour cells and other targets.MonocyteLarge white blood cells that circulate in the blood and can develop into macrophages or dendritic cells that clean away damaged tissue and present antigen.NeutrophilThe most abundant white blood cells and the body's fastest defense against bacteria. They devour and break down invaders and are first on the scene in acute infections.
Blood(9)
HematocritIndicates how much of the blood is made up of red blood cells. A measure that illustrates the capacity of blood to carry oxygen.HemoglobinHemoglobin is found in red blood cells and its main role is to transport oxygen to the body's cells and return carbon dioxide to the lungs.MCHShows how much hemoglobin each red blood cell contains on average. Helps to describe the capacity of the blood to carry oxygen.MCHCA measure of the concentration of hemoglobin in red blood cells. Together with MCH, it gives a picture of the oxygen-carrying capacity of blood cells.MCVMeasures the average size of red blood cells. Abnormalities may indicate, for example, nutritional deficiencies or changes in blood cell development.PlateletsPlatelets help blood to clot and repair damage to blood vessels. They are important for preventing bleeding and maintaining normal clotting ability.RBCShows how many red blood cells are present in a given volume of blood. Red blood cells carry oxygen around the body and are therefore important for energy and performance.RDWShows how much the red blood cells vary in size. A wide spread means cells of different sizes are circulating together, which gives a picture of how red cells have formed in recent months.WBCMeasures the number of white blood cells, which reflect a key part of the body's immune system. Leukocytes come in several varieties that protect us against infections and diseases.
Hormone balance(6)
CortisolA stress hormone from the adrenal cortex that helps the body regulate blood sugar, blood pressure and the immune system. Cortisol is released at its highest levels in the early morning and also increases during physical or mental stress. The level in the blood shows how active the body's stress axis (HPA axis) is throughout the day.EstradiolWomenThe most potent estrogen that controls the menstrual cycle, preserves bone density and affects cardiovascular health. The measurement reflects ovarian estrogen production or estrogen supplied by hormone therapy.ProgesteroneWomenSex hormone that stabilizes the lining of the uterus and prepares the body for pregnancy. It interacts with oestrogen to regulate the menstrual cycle.SHBGMenSHBG is a protein that binds sex hormones such as testosterone and estrogen in the blood, influencing how much of them remain freely available for the body to use.Bioactive TestosteroneMenThe fraction of testosterone that is freely or loosely bound to albumin and therefore can immediately affect tissues linked to muscle building, energy, sexual function and mood.Total TestosteroneMenTestosterone (total) measures the amount of testosterone present in the blood. The hormone plays an important role in building muscle mass, recovery, sexual function, energy and mood, among other things.
