Full Blood Count
Assessing various aspects of your blood, from white and red blood cell counts to haemoglobin levels, this test can help to diagnose a wide range of illnesses, infections and diseases.
– White Blood Cell Count (WBC)
– Red Blood Cell Count (RBC)
– Haemoglobin (HGB)
– Hematocrit (HCT)
– Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV)
– Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin (MCH)
– Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin Concentration (MCHC)
– Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW)
– Platelets (PLT) (Venous samples only)
– Mean Platelet Volume (MPV)
– Lymphocytes (LYM)
– Monocytes (MON)
– Neutrophils (NEU)
– Eosinophils (EOS)
– Basophils (BAS)
Thyroid Function
Assess thyroid hormones and antibodies, providing insights into energy levels and metabolism. Common signs of an underactive thyroid are tiredness, weight gain and feeling depressed, whilst an overactive thyroid may manifest symptoms of anxiety, difficulty concentrating, hair loss, hand tremors and frequent bowel movements. Hyperthyroidism can cause serious problems with your heart, bones, muscles, menstrual cycle, and fertility.
– Unbound thyroxine (Free T4)
– Unbound triiodothyronine (Free T3)
– Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
Kidney Function
Your kidneys remove waste, toxins, and extra fluid from the blood. Keep an eye on your kidney health with markers like creatinine, eGFR, urea, and uric acid, to show how well your kidneys are functioning and how quickly the waste is being removed.
– Creatinine
– eGFR
– Urea
– Uric acid
Liver Function
Elevated liver enzymes often indicate inflammation or damage to cells in the liver. The 3 main causes of liver disease are, obesity, undiagnosed hepatitis infection and alcohol misuse. Some liver problems can be treated with lifestyle modifications.
– Globulin calculation
– Albumin
– Total protein
– Bilirubin
– Alanine AminoTransferase (ALT)
– Gamma-GlutamylTransferase (GGT)
– Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP)
Cholesterol
The higher your cholesterol, the higher your risk of going on to have a heart attack or stroke. But you can’t tell how high it is without a test, which is why it’s important to get tested.
– LDL cholesterol
– Non-HDL cholesterol
– HDL cholesterol
– Total cholesterol
– Total cholesterol/HDL ratio
– Triglycerides
Inflammation
Track inflammation with C-Reactive Protein and Creatinine Kinase measurements, aiding recovery and injury prevention. Positive test results identify the risks of developing inflammation, muscular degeneration and skeletal muscle damage among patients with OADs, whereas negative test results identify the probability of being healthy without any risk factors.
– C-Reactive protein
– Creatine Kinase (CK)
Hormones
Check your testosterone which is essential for your sex drive, bone and muscle health, mood, and cognitive function.
– Testosterone
Diabetes
Stay on top of your blood sugar levels with HbA1c measurement to screen for, and diagnose diabetes and prediabetes.
– HbA1c
Micronutrients
