Biomarker Descriptions

The following table is a list of all the biomarkers we test for and a short description of what they mean

Biomarker

Description

Triglycerides

A type of fat in your blood; high levels can increase heart disease risks. Monitoring gives insight into your heart health.

Cholesterol

A waxy substance vital for building cell membranes and hormones. High levels can lead to atherosclerosis and heart disease.

LDL

Known as bad cholesterol. When elevated, it can lead to plaque buildup in your arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease.

HDL

Termed the "good cholesterol", it helps remove LDL from your bloodstream, thus reducing the risk of heart disease.

Chol:HDL Ratio

The ratio of total cholesterol to good cholesterol in your body. This gives you a clearer picture of your overall heart health.

Non-HDL Cholesterol

A measure of all the bad types of cholesterol in your blood. High levels can increase heart disease risks.

TSH

Released by the pituitary gland, it directs the thyroid gland on how much hormone to produce and release, acting as a regulator for thyroid activity.

Free T4

A vital hormone produced by the thyroid gland, instrumental in determining how the body uses energy.

eGFR

A measure of how well your kidneys are working. It’s based on a number of factors including your creatinine levels, age, sex, and body size.

Urea

A waste product produced by the liver when breaking down proteins. Since your kidneys excrete it from your body through urine, elevated urea levels may suggest your kidneys aren’t functioning correctly.

Albumin

The main protein in human blood, essential for carrying hormones, vitamins, and enzymes throughout your body. A decrease can signal liver or kidney issues.

ALP

An enzyme predominantly found in your liver and bones, but also produced by placental and intestinal tissue. A key marker for bone and liver disorders.

GGT

An enzyme found throughout your body, but mainly in the liver. Testing your GGT levels can help to identify liver disease early on.

ALT

An enzyme found primarily in your liver. Elevated levels may indicate liver damage or inflammation.

AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase)

An enzyme found in your liver and heart. High levels can indicate liver or heart damage.

Ferritin

Most of the iron in your body is stored as ferritin which is essential for producing red blood cells. If your ferritin level is low, it may suggest that you have iron deficiency.

Folate (Vit B9)

Essential for cell division and the maintenance of a healthy nervous system.

HbA1c

A representation of average blood sugar levels over the past two to three months. It’s a primary marker for diagnosing and tracking diabetes and prediabetes.

Total testosterone

Testosterone is an important sex hormone that helps men to maintain a normal sex drive and sexual function.

Vitamin D

Essential for bone health, immunity, and mood regulation, it's crucial to ensure you're getting enough, especially during the darker months.

Creatinine

A waste product in your bloodstream that your kidneys filter out of your body through urine. If your creatinine levels are high, it can indicate your kidneys aren’t working as they should.

Vitamin B12

Crucial for nerve function and red blood cell formation.

Free Testosterone

The amount of testosterone not bound to proteins in your blood. It helps diagnose and monitor hormonal disorders.

Oestradiol/Oestrogen

A form of estrogen, a key hormone in both men and women. High or low levels can indicate hormonal imbalances.

Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA)

A protein produced by the prostate gland. High levels can indicate prostate cancer or other prostate conditions.

Haemoglobin

A protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout your body. Low levels can indicate anaemia.

HCT (Hematocrit)

The proportion of red blood cells in your blood. It helps diagnose and monitor anaemia and polycythemia.

RBC (Red Blood Cell Count)

The number of red blood cells in your blood. Low or high counts can indicate anaemia or other conditions.

MCV (Mean Corpuscular Volume)

The average size of your red blood cells. It helps diagnose different types of anaemia.

MCHC (Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration)

The average concentration of haemoglobin in your red blood cells. It helps diagnose anaemia and other conditions.

White Cell Count (WBC)

The number of white blood cells in your blood. It helps diagnose and monitor infections and other conditions.

Neutrophils

A type of white blood cell that helps fight infections. High or low levels can indicate infection or other conditions.

Lymphocytes

A type of white blood cell that is part of your immune system. High or low levels can indicate infection or immune disorders.

Monocytes

A type of white blood cell that helps remove dead or damaged cells and fight infections. High or low levels can indicate infection or other conditions.

Eosinophils

A type of white blood cell involved in allergic reactions and fighting parasites. High levels can indicate allergies or other conditions.

Basophils

A type of white blood cell involved in allergic reactions and inflammation. High levels can indicate allergies or other conditions.

Platelet Count

The number of platelets in your blood, which are essential for blood clotting. Low or high counts can indicate bleeding disorders or other conditions.

Bilirubin

A yellow pigment produced by the breakdown of red blood cells. High levels can indicate liver or bile duct problems.

Total Protein

The total amount of protein in your blood, including albumin and globulin. It helps diagnose various conditions.

Globulin

A group of proteins in your blood that includes antibodies. It helps diagnose immune disorders and other conditions.

FT4 (Free Thyroxine)

A hormone produced by the thyroid gland that regulates metabolism. High or low levels can indicate thyroid problems.

Prolactin

A hormone that stimulates milk production in women. High levels can indicate various health issues. Also plays important roles in men, such as regulating reproductive health and influencing mood.

SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin)

A protein that binds to sex hormones, including testosterone. High or low levels can indicate hormonal imbalances.

FAI (Free Androgen Index)

A ratio that compares the total testosterone to SHBG. It helps assess androgen levels in your body.

LH (Luteinizing Hormone)

A hormone that stimulates the production of sex hormones. High or low levels can indicate reproductive issues.

FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone)

A hormone that regulates the function of the ovaries and testes. High or low levels can indicate reproductive issues.
