List of Included Tests - 21 Tests
Blood pressure is the force of blood on the walls of blood vessels, through which it travels to supply all the tissues and organs of the body with food, oxygen, water and enzymes in what is known as the circulatory system.
A complete blood count (CBC) is a blood test used to evaluate your overall health and detect a wide range of disorders, including anemia, infection, platelets disorders and leukemia.
This test measures the amount of nitrogen in your blood that comes from the waste product urea. Urea is made when protein is broken down in your body. A BUN test is done to see how well your kidneys are working.
Triglycerides are a type of fat in your body. If you eat more calories than you need, the extra calories are changed into triglycerides. These triglycerides are stored in your fat cells for later use. When your body needs energy, triglycerides are released into your bloodstream to provide fuel for your muscles to work. If you eat more calories than you burn off, especially calories from carbohydrates and fats, you may get high triglyceride levels in your blood. High triglycerides may put you at greater risk for a heart disease
HDL cholesterol can be thought of as the “good” cholesterol because a healthy level may protect against heart attack and stroke.HDL carries LDL (bad) cholesterol away from the arteries and back to the liver, where the LDL is broken down and passed from the body.
It plays an important role in keeping the fluid in the blood from leaking into the tissues. This test can help determine if you have liver disease or kidney disease, or if your body is not absorbing enough protein.Its concentration in the blood is affected by several medical problems
Creatinine is a chemical compound left over from energy-producing processes in your muscles.This test measures how well your kidneys are performing their job of filtering waste from your blood. Healthy kidneys filter creatinine out of the blood. Creatinine exits your body as a waste product in urine.
Uric acid blood test, also known as a serum uric acid measurement, determines how much uric acid is present in your blood. The test can help determine how well your body produces and removes uric acid. Uric acid is produced when your body breaks down foods that contain organic compounds called purines.
In the liver, bilirubin is changed into a form that your body can get rid of. This is called conjugated bilirubin or direct bilirubin. This bilirubin travels from the liver into the small intestine. A very small amount passes into your kidneys and is excreted in your urine. This bilirubin also gives urine its distinctive yellow color.
This test is often done to look for liver problems, such as hepatitis, or blockages, such as gallstones
A TSH test is a blood test that measures this hormone. The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located near your throat. Your thyroid makes hormones that regulate the way your body uses energy. It also plays an important role in regulating your weight, body temperature, muscle strength, and even your mood.
Glucose is a type of sugar. It is your body’s main source of energy. A blood glucose test measures glucose levels in your blood. A hormone called insulin helps move glucose from your blood into your cells.Too much or too little glucose in the blood can be a sign of a serious medical condition.
LDL cholesterol is considered the “bad” cholesterol, because it contributes to fatty buildups in arteries (atherosclerosis). This narrows the arteries and increases the risk for heart attack, stroke and peripheral artery disease (PAD).
Cholesterol is a waxy substance found in your blood. Your body needs cholesterol to build healthy cells, but high levels of cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease.
This test is done to measure the amount of Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) in blood serum. ALT is an enzyme found mostly in the liver. This test is prefered to be done on a regular basis to assure liver is in a healthy state
A calcium blood test measures the amount of calcium in your blood. Calcium is one of the most important minerals in your body. You need calcium for healthy bones and teeth. Calcium is also essential for proper functioning of your nerves, muscles, and heart.
Vitamin D is essential for several reasons, including maintaining healthy bones and teeth.It may also protect against a range of diseases and conditions, such as type 1 diabetes.
Bilirubin test is used to find out how well your liver is working. It is often part of a panel of tests that measure liver function. A small amount of bilirubin in your blood is normal, but a high level may be a sign of liver disease.
This test is done to measure the amount of Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) in blood serum. AST is an enzyme found in heart cells, kidney, muscles and liver, this test is preferred to be done on a regular basis to assure the liver in a healthy state
BMI is a person’s weight in kilograms (or pounds) divided by the square of height in
meters (or feet). A high BMI can indicate high body fatness. BMI screens for weight categories that may lead to health problems, but it does not diagnose the body fatness or health of an individual.
Vitamin B-12 plays an essential role in red blood cell formation, cell metabolism, nerve function and the production of DNA ( molecules inside cells that carry genetic information. Vitamin B-12 deficiency can lead to anemia, fatigue, muscle weakness, intestinal problems, nerve damage and mood disturbances.
Glycated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) is a blood test that is used to help diagnose and monitor people with diabetes. It measures the amount of blood sugar (glucose) attached to your hemoglobin. It shows your average blood sugar level over the past 2 or 3 months.The higher the hemoglobin A1c, the higher your risk of having complications related to diabetes.
