Male Weight Management Blood Test by OneDayTests

Comprehensive blood test to assess thyroid, liver, kidney function, and hormone levels for weight management.

Additional Information

This panel, developed by Dr. Adam Staten, helps manage weight by checking thyroid function (metabolism), liver function (detecting potential issues causing abdominal swelling), kidney function (identifying potential swelling mimicking weight gain), cortisol levels (linked to weight gain), testosterone levels (influencing metabolism and muscle mass), and HbA1c (blood sugar levels related to weight loss and diabetes risk). It provides a comprehensive overview of key health aspects impacting weight management. The test helps identify potential underlying medical conditions contributing to weight issues and provides a baseline for weight management programs. Fast, accurate results are provided with no GP referral needed.

Biomarkers Tested (20)

Unbound thyroxine (Free T4) (pmol/L)

Active form of thyroid hormone.

Unbound triiodothyronine (Free T3) (pmol/L)

Another active form of thyroid hormone.

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.

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.

Globulin (g/dL)

Any of a group of simple proteins found in the blood.

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.

GGT (U/L)

Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) is a liver enzyme which can be used to diagnose alcohol abuse as it is typically raised in long term drinkers.

AST (U/L)

Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) is an enzyme created mainly by the liver and the heart. High levels can indicate damage to your liver caused by alcohol, drugs or hepatitis.

Free Testosterone Index (-)

Free Testosterone Index (FTI) is a measure of the amount of testosterone available in the blood. It helps assess androgen status in both men and women.

Ferritin (ng/mL)

Ferritin is a protein that stores iron in the body. Low levels can indicate iron deficiency, while high levels may suggest iron overload or inflammation.

B9 (ng/mL)

Vitamin B9 (Folate) is crucial for DNA synthesis and repair. Low levels can lead to anemia and other health issues.

TSH (mIU/L)

Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) helps regulate the thyroid gland, which affects metabolism. Abnormal levels can indicate thyroid disorders.

Creatinine (mg/dL)

Creatinine (Cr) is a waste product from muscle metabolism, filtered by the kidneys. Elevated levels can indicate kidney dysfunction.

Urea (mmol/L)

A high concentration of this waste product can indicate dehydration or that your kidneys aren’t working properly.

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.

ALT (U/L)

Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) is an enzyme mainly produced by the liver. A good indicator of liver damage caused by alcohol, drugs or hepatitis.

Alkaline phosphatase (U/L)

Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme found in many tissues, with high concentrations in the liver, bile ducts, and bone. Elevated levels may indicate liver disease or bone disorders.

Cortisol (µg/dL)

Cortisol is a hormone released in response to stress and low blood glucose. Abnormal levels can indicate adrenal issues.

HbA1c (%)

Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) measures the average blood sugar levels over the past three months. It helps monitor long-term glucose control in diabetics.

B12 (pg/mL)

Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin) is essential for red blood cell formation and neurological function. Deficiency can lead to anemia and nerve damage.
