Comprehensive Profile

This extensive health panel provides an assay of most organ systems and offers valuable information on the state of your health. The list of markers being tested on the health panel represents various body parts and functions. Here is a breakdown of some of the body parts that are being tested: Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, and Phosphates Inorganic: These are electrolytes that help regulate fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle contractions. Glucose and Urea: These are markers of kidney function and blood sugar levels. Creatinine: This is a waste product produced by muscles that is filtered out of the blood by the kidneys. Proteins Total, Albumin, and Globulin: These are proteins produced by the liver that help transport substances in the blood and maintain fluid balance. Bilirubin Total, Bilirubin Direct, and Bilirubin Indirect: These are markers of liver function and can indicate problems with bile production or clearance. Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT), Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST), Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP), and Amylase: These are enzymes produced by the liver, pancreas, or bones that can indicate damage or disease in these organs. Creatine Kinase (CK) and Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH): These are enzymes produced by muscles and can indicate muscle damage or disease. Uric Acid: This is a waste product produced by the breakdown of purines in the body and can indicate problems with kidney function or gout. Iron: This is a mineral that is important for red blood cell production and can indicate problems with iron deficiency or overload. Cholesterol Total, Triglycerides, High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL Cholesterol), and LDL – Cholesterol: These are markers of lipid metabolism and can indicate risk for heart disease. Full Blood Count (FBC) + Differential, ESR, Free Thyroxine (FT4), Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH), C-Reactive Protein (CRP), and Ferritin: These are markers of blood cell production, thyroid function, inflammation, and iron storage in the body.
