Liver Health
AlbuminThe main protein in your blood, reflecting liver function, nutritional status, and fluid balance.
Cardiovascular
Apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1)The main protein in HDL particles — helps remove cholesterol from the body and reduces cardiovascular risk.
Apolipoprotein B (ApoB)Shows how many bad cholesterol particles are in your blood — a stronger predictor of heart disease risk than LDL alone.
Liver Health
Bilirubin ConjugatedThe liver-processed form of bilirubin, ready for excretion — elevated levels suggest bile duct obstruction or liver disease.
Bilirubin UnconjugatedThe pre-liver form of bilirubin from red blood cell breakdown — high levels may indicate haemolysis or Gilbert's syndrome.
Metabolic Health
CortisolYour body's primary stress hormone — regulates energy, immune function, and the sleep-wake cycle.
Cardiovascular
Creatine Kinase (CK)An enzyme that rises when muscle or heart tissue is damaged — used to investigate muscle disorders and cardiac injury.
Hormone
DHEA Sulphate (DHEAS)An adrenal hormone that supports vitality, muscle building, and hormonal balance — often called the body's youth hormone.
Metabolic Health
Fasting Blood Glucose (FBG)Measures blood sugar after an overnight fast — crucial for diagnosing and monitoring diabetes and pre-diabetes.
Fasting InsulinMeasures insulin levels after fasting — an early indicator of insulin resistance before glucose levels become abnormal.
Immune System
White Blood Cell Count (WBC)Counts immune cells in your blood — essential for detecting infection, inflammation, and immune disorders.
Hormone
Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)A key reproductive hormone that drives egg and sperm production — essential for assessing fertility and hormonal health.
Free TestosteroneThe unbound, immediately active form of testosterone — directly boosts mood, muscle, libido, and energy.
Metabolic Health
Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)Average blood sugar over the past 3 months — the gold standard test for diagnosing and monitoring diabetes.
HbA1c (IFCC)Average blood sugar over the past 3 months, reported in IFCC units (mmol/mol) — the gold standard for diabetes monitoring.
Inflammation
High-Sensitivity CRPA sensitive marker of low-grade inflammation — gives early warning of cardiovascular risk and chronic disease.
Cardiovascular
HomocysteineAn amino acid that damages blood vessel walls when elevated — an independent risk factor for heart attack and stroke.
Vitamins & Minerals
FerritinThe protein that stores iron in your body — the most accurate single marker of your total iron reserves.
IronA crucial mineral for haemoglobin production and oxygen transport — essential for energy and overall health.
Blood Deficiency & Anaemia
Transferrin Saturation (TSAT)The percentage of transferrin bound with iron — indicates iron availability and absorption efficiency.
Liver Health
Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH)An enzyme that rises when cells are damaged anywhere in the body — a broad marker of tissue injury and disease.
Pancreatic Function
LipaseA pancreatic enzyme that breaks down fats — the most specific marker for diagnosing pancreatitis.
Cholesterol & Blood Pressure
LDL CholesterolThe bad cholesterol — deposits into artery walls and contributes to plaque buildup and cardiovascular disease.
HDL CholesterolThe good cholesterol — carries cholesterol away from the arteries and back to the liver, protecting cardiovascular health.
Total CholesterolMeasures all cholesterol types in your blood combined — a broad snapshot of cardiovascular health.
Non-HDL CholesterolMeasures all bad cholesterol types combined — a comprehensive view of heart disease risk that doesn't require fasting.
Cardiovascular
Cholesterol RatioCompares HDL and LDL cholesterol — a lower ratio indicates better heart health and reduced cardiovascular risk.
Cholesterol & Blood Pressure
TriglyceridesYour body's stored energy fat — elevated levels indicate metabolic dysfunction and increased cardiovascular risk.
Lipoprotein (a)A genetically determined cholesterol particle that significantly raises the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Hormone
Luteinising Hormone (LH)Triggers ovulation in women and stimulates testosterone production in men — a central hormone in reproductive health.
Vitamins & Minerals
MagnesiumA vital mineral for muscle and nerve function, bone health, energy production, and over 300 enzymatic reactions.
Hormone
Oestradiol (E2)The primary oestrogen hormone — crucial for women's reproductive health and also important for bone and sexual function in men.
Vitamins & Minerals
PhosphateA vital mineral for bone health, energy production, and cellular function.
Hormone
Progesterone (P4)A key hormone for reproductive health and wellbeing — confirms ovulation and supports pregnancy.
Prolactin (PRL)The breastfeeding hormone — elevated levels in non-pregnant individuals can suppress fertility and cause hormonal symptoms.
Prostate Health
Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA)A protein made by the prostate gland — measuring it in blood helps assess prostate health and detect potential problems early.
Hormone
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG)A protein that binds testosterone and oestrogen — controls how much of these hormones are free and active in your body.
TestosteroneThe primary androgen hormone — essential for muscle strength, bone density, libido, mood, and vitality in both men and women.
Thyroid
Anti-TPOAntibodies attacking thyroid peroxidase — a key marker for Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Graves' disease.
Anti-TgAntibodies targeting thyroglobulin — a protein essential for thyroid hormone production, often elevated in autoimmune thyroid conditions.
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)The master regulator of thyroid function — the primary screening test for detecting overactive and underactive thyroid.
Free Thyroxine (T4)The unbound form of the main thyroid hormone — keeps energy levels and metabolism steady.
Free Triiodothyronine (T3)The active thyroid hormone that drives metabolism and energy — low levels cause fatigue even when TSH appears normal.
Kidney & Urinary
Uric AcidA purine breakdown product excreted by the kidneys — elevated levels can cause gout and are linked to kidney disease.
Vitamins & Minerals
Serum FolateCrucial for DNA synthesis, red blood cell formation, and neural tube development in pregnancy.
Vitamin DEssential for bone health, immune function, and calcium absorption — deficiency is extremely common in Australia.
ZincAn essential mineral for immune function, wound healing, and hundreds of enzymatic reactions throughout the body.
Liver Health
BilirubinA yellow pigment from red blood cell breakdown — elevated levels indicate liver dysfunction or haemolysis.
Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP)An enzyme indicating liver, bile duct, and bone health — elevated levels can suggest liver disease or bone disorders.
