What the main biomarkers measure
Heart and metabolic health
Triglycerides: a type of fat in the blood; high levels may increase the risk of heart disease.
Cholesterol: a substance used to build cells and hormones; high levels may contribute to atherosclerosis and heart disease.
LDL: often called “bad” cholesterol because raised levels can contribute to plaque in the arteries.
HDL: often called “good” cholesterol because it helps remove LDL from the bloodstream.
Cholesterol:HDL ratio: compares total cholesterol with HDL to give a broader view of heart health.
Non-HDL cholesterol: measures the combined amount of cholesterol considered harmful.
HbA1c: reflects average blood sugar over the previous 2 to 3 months.
Thyroid health
TSH: signals the thyroid gland to produce and release hormones.
Free T4: a thyroid hormone involved in regulating how the body uses energy.
Kidney health
eGFR: estimates how well the kidneys are filtering blood.
Urea: a waste product removed by the kidneys; raised levels may indicate reduced kidney function.
Creatinine: a waste product filtered by the kidneys; raised levels may indicate reduced kidney function.
Liver and protein markers
ALT, AST, ALP and GGT: enzymes used to assess liver health; ALP is also associated with bone health.
Albumin: the main protein in blood, involved in transporting hormones, vitamins and enzymes.
Bilirubin: a pigment produced when red blood cells break down.
Total protein and globulin: measures of proteins involved in functions including immunity and transport.
Vitamins and nutrients
Ferritin: reflects the body's iron stores.
Folate (vitamin B9): supports cell division and the nervous system.
Vitamin B12: supports nerve function and red blood cell formation.
Vitamin D: supports bone health, immunity and mood regulation.
Hormones
Total testosterone: the total amount of testosterone in the blood.
Free testosterone: testosterone not bound to proteins.
SHBG: a protein that binds to sex hormones.
FAI: a calculation comparing total testosterone with SHBG.
Oestradiol: a form of oestrogen involved in reproductive and wider health.
LH and FSH: hormones involved in reproductive function.
Prolactin: a hormone involved in milk production and reproductive health.
PSA: a protein produced by the prostate gland.
Blood cells
Haemoglobin: carries oxygen in red blood cells.
RBC, HCT, MCV, MCH and MCHC: measures used to assess red blood cells and investigate anaemia.
WBC, neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils and basophils: measures of white blood cells involved in immune responses.
Platelets: blood cells involved in clotting.
