Comprehensive blood test to assess fitness levels before starting a new program.

Additional Information

This test is designed for individuals starting a new fitness program or wanting to monitor their progress. It measures key biomarkers related to inflammation, bone health, blood glucose, and liver function. Understanding these aspects helps ensure fitness readiness and tracks improvements over time. Specific benefits include identifying potential inflammation, assessing bone health through calcium levels, checking blood glucose for diabetes risk, and evaluating liver function for overall well-being.

Biomarkers Tested (23)

Creatine Kinase (CK) (U/L)
CK is an enzyme found in muscles, including the heart. High levels can indicate muscle damage or stress, including potential heart attack or muscular disorders.
Calcium (mg/dL)
Calcium (Ca) is a mineral vital for bone health, muscle function, and nerve signaling. Abnormal levels can suggest bone, kidney, or parathyroid issues.
Calcium (corrected) (mmol/L)
Corrected calcium adjusts for changes in serum albumin levels, providing a more accurate measure of the biologically active form of calcium, and is therefore a better reflection of the body's calcium status.
Fasting glucose (mmol/L)
If you have diabetes your body doesn't process glucose effectively.
Bilirubin (mg/dL)
Bilirubin is a substance produced during the normal breakdown of red blood cells. High levels can lead to jaundice and indicate liver or bile duct problems.
Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) (U/L)
Enzyme mainly in the liver and bones; high levels can indicate liver disease.
Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) (U/L)
Enzyme from liver and heart; high levels indicate liver damage.
Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) (U/L)
Enzyme mainly produced by the liver; indicates liver damage.
Gamma-glutamyl Transferase (GGT) (U/L)
Liver enzyme; elevated levels can indicate alcohol abuse.
Albumin (g/dL)
Albumin is a protein made by the liver that helps keep fluid in your bloodstream and carries various substances throughout your body. Low levels can indicate liver or kidney disease.
Total Protein (g/dL)
A measure of all of the proteins in the plasma portion of your blood. Proteins are important building blocks of all cells and tissues - they are important for body growth and health.
Globulin (g/dL)
Any of a group of simple proteins found in the blood.
Sodium (mmol/L)
Sodium (Na) helps regulate water balance and nerve function. Abnormal levels can affect hydration status and blood pressure.
Potassium (mmol/L)
Potassium (K) is essential for nerve function and muscle contraction. Abnormal levels can affect heart and muscle function.
Chloride (mmol/L)
Chloride is important for maintaining fluid balance and for the proper functioning of the digestive system.
Bicarbonate (mmol/L)
Higher than normal levels suggests trouble maintaining pH balance either by failing to remove carbon dioxide or because of an electrolyte imbalance. Elevations may be seen with severe vomiting, chronic lung problems and some hormonal disorders. Low levels may be seen with chronic diarrhoea, diabetic ketoacidosis and kidney failure.
Urea (mmol/L)
A high concentration of this waste product can indicate dehydration or that your kidneys aren’t working properly.
Creatinine (mg/dL)
Creatinine (Cr) is a waste product from muscle metabolism, filtered by the kidneys. Elevated levels can indicate kidney dysfunction.
eGFR (mL/min/1.73m²)
Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) assesses kidney function by estimating the rate at which kidneys filter waste from the blood.
LDL (mmol/L)
Often called "bad" cholesterol, contributing to atherosclerosis and heart disease.
HDL (mmol/L)
Often called "good" cholesterol, removing excess cholesterol and protecting against heart disease.
Triglycerides (mg/dL)
Triglycerides are a type of fat found in the blood. High levels can increase the risk of heart disease.
Non-HDL cholesterol (mg/dL)
Non-HDL cholesterol is the total cholesterol minus HDL cholesterol, representing all "bad" cholesterols. High levels can increase the risk of heart disease.
