Biomarkers Tested (49)

Red Blood Cell Count (/µL)

Responsible for carrying oxygen around the body. A high count can increase the risk of heart attack or stroke, whilst a low count can mean your body isn’t getting the oxygen it needs.

Haemoglobin (g/dL)

A good measure of your blood's ability to carry oxygen throughout your body. Elevated haemoglobin can be an indicator of lung disease, whilst a low result indicates anaemia.

Haematocrit (%)

A measure of the percentage of red blood cells in the total blood volume. Elevated haematocrit can increase the risk of heart attack or stroke.

MCV (fL)

Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) measures the average size of red blood cells. Abnormal levels can indicate various types of anemia.

RDW is a calculation of the variation in the size of your red blood cells. A high RDW value may indicate the presence of certain medical conditions, such as anaemia, liver disease, or vitamin B12 or folate deficiency.

White Blood Cell Count (/µL)

Responsible for fighting infection. A high count can indicate recent infection and even stress, whilst a low count can result from vitamin deficiencies, liver disease and immune diseases.

Eosinophils % (%)

Eosinophils % represents the percentage of eosinophils, white blood cells that fight infections and play a role in allergic reactions, in the total white blood cell count.

Monocytes % (%)

Monocytes % represents the percentage of monocytes, a type of white blood cell that helps fight infections, in the total white blood cell count.

Lymphocytes % (%)

Lymphocytes % represents the percentage of lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell involved in immune response, in the total white blood cell count.

Neutrophils % (%)

Neutrophils % represents the percentage of neutrophils, the most common type of white blood cell that fights infection, in the total white blood cell count.

Basophils % (%)

Basophils % represents the percentage of basophils, a type of white blood cell involved in allergic reactions and inflammation, in the total white blood cell count.

Platelet Count (/µL)

Responsible for blood clotting and healing. A high count can indicate a risk of thrombosis, whilst a low count can lead to easy bruising.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

ALP (U/L)

Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme located mainly in the liver and the bones. High levels can indicate liver 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.

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.

Globulin (g/dL)

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

Magnesium (mmol/L)

Magnesium and calcium work together closely to maintain strong bones, and magnesium deficiency has been associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis.

Lactate Dehydrogenase (U/L)

LDH is an enzyme required during the process of turning sugar into energy for your cells. Only a small amount is usually detectable in the blood, however, when cells are damaged they release LDH into the bloodstream.

Phosphate (mmol/L)

Phosphate is a mineral which is essential for the formation of bones and teeth. It is also essential for many other cellular processes including energy metabolism and the formation of DNA and RNA.

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.

Urate (µmol/L)

If too much urate is produced or not enough is excreted, it can accumulate and lead to gout – an inflammation that occurs in joints.

Fasting glucose (mmol/L)

If you have diabetes your body doesn't process glucose effectively.

Vitamin D (ng/mL)

Vitamin D is essential for bone health and immune function. Deficiency can lead to bone disorders such as rickets or osteoporosis.

Iron (µg/dL)

Iron (Fe) is essential for hemoglobin production and oxygen transport. Low levels can lead to anemia, while high levels may indicate iron overload disorders.

Transferrin (mg/dL)

Transferrin is a protein that binds and transports iron in the blood. Abnormal levels can indicate iron metabolism disorders.

Transferrin saturation (%)

Transferrin saturation measures the percentage of transferrin bound with iron, indicating iron status. Abnormal levels can indicate iron deficiency or overload.

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.

Red blood cell zinc (µmol/L)

Red blood cell testing provides a measurement equivocal to intracellular levels, and is therefore more insightful than a regular zinc blood test.

Red blood cell magnesium (mmol/L)

Red blood cell testing provides a measurement equivocal to intracellular levels, and is therefore more insightful than a regular serum blood test.

Active Vitamin B12 (pmol/L)

Active vitamin B12 is the biologically active form of vitamin B12 that is essential for many physiological processes in the body, including the production of red blood cells, DNA synthesis, and nerve function.

Leptin (ng/mL)

Leptin is a mediator of long-term regulation of energy balance, suppressing food intake and thereby inducing weight loss. Because leptin reduces food intake and body weight, the coexistence of elevated leptin levels with obesity is widely interpreted as evidence of “leptin resistance.”

High sensitivity CRP (mg/L)

A high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) test measures low levels of CRP and may be used to help evaluate an individual for risk of cardiovascular disease

Urine Creatinine (mmol/L)

Creatinine is a waste product that your body makes when you use your muscles or when your body digests meat. Healthy kidneys remove creatinine from your blood, and it leaves your body in your urine. This test can find out whether your kidneys are working normally or to see if treatment for kidney disease is working.

Urine Iodine (µg/L)

Iodine is an essential trace element and an integral component of thyroid hormones. Thyroid hormones are required for normal growth and development of tissues and maturation of our bodies. Approximately 80% of iodine is excreted in the urine, making it a good marker of the previous day's intake.

Urine Iodine (corrected) (µg/L)

Iodine levels can be adjusted for urine dilution using creatinine. This adjustment accounts for differences in urine volume or concentration and allows for a more accurate assessment of iodine status.
