GENERAL BLOOD TEST

Elevated triglyceride levels can increase the risk of heart disease.

Often referred to as "good cholesterol," HDL helps remove excess cholesterol from the bloodstream, which is beneficial for cardiovascular health.

Often referred to as "bad cholesterol," LDL carries cholesterol from the liver to other parts of the body and can contribute to the formation of plaque in arteries.

An enzyme primarily found in the liver. Elevated levels may indicate liver damage or disease, such as hepatitis or cirrhosis.

An enzyme found predominantly in the liver and heart. Elevated levels may suggest liver damage or heart muscle injury, such as in cases of liver disease or heart attack.

An enzyme found primarily in the liver. Elevated levels may indicate liver damage, bile duct disorders, or alcohol abuse.

A pigment produced during the breakdown of red blood cells. Elevated levels may indicate liver diseases or conditions affecting bile flow.

Creatinine is a waste product generated by muscle metabolism. It is primarily filtered out by the kidneys. Measuring creatinine levels in the blood helps assess kidney function and evaluate overall renal health.

A waste product resulting from the breakdown of purines. Elevated uric acid levels can lead to gout or indicate kidney-related issues.

A calculated of the rate at which the kidneys filter waste from the blood. It is calculated based on factors such as creatinine levels, age, gender, and other variables.

BUN is a measure of the amount of nitrogen in the blood resulting from the breakdown of urea. It provides information about kidney function and overall health.

C-Reactive Protein (CRP) is an inflammation marker. Elevated CRP levels in the blood may indicate inflammation in the body and can be associated with various conditions, including infections, autoimmune disorders, and cardiovascular disease.

Neutrophils are a type of white blood cell that form a frontline defense against bacterial infections. Their levels rise during bacterial infections and other inflammatory responses.

Lymphocytes are white blood cells involved in immune responses. They include T cells and B cells, which play crucial roles in adaptive immunity, such as fighting viruses and producing antibodies.

Eosinophils are white blood cells that respond to allergies, asthma, and parasitic infections. High levels can indicate these conditions, while low levels may result from extreme stress.

Basophils are a small subset of white blood cells involved in immune responses. They release substances causing allergic reactions and inflammation, helping to fight parasites.

Immature granulocytes in the blood indicate an early immune response, infection, inflammation, or bone marrow stimulation, excluding newborns and pregnant women.

A hormone produced by the pituitary gland that stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones. Measuring TSH levels helps evaluate thyroid function and diagnose thyroid disorders.

Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body and transport carbon dioxide back to the lungs for exhalation.

Hemoglobin is a protein within red blood cells that binds to oxygen in the lungs and releases it to tissues throughout the body.

Eosinophils are white blood cells that contribute to the body's response against parasites and are also involved in allergic reactions and asthma.

Eosinophils are white blood cells that contribute to the body's response against parasites and are also involved in allergic reactions and asthma.

MCV measures the average volume or size of red blood cells. It can help classify anemias and other blood disorders. For example, microcytic anemia is characterized by small MCV values, while macrocytic anemia is characterized by elevated MCV values.

A sugar that serves as the primary source of energy for the body's cells. Monitoring glucose levels helps diagnose and manage diabetes and assess overall glucose metabolism.

Also known as HbA1c, it reflects average blood sugar levels over the past two to three months. It is used as a long-term marker for diabetes management and glycemic control.

Measuring cholesterol levels can provide insights into cardiovascular health and the risk of developing heart disease.

Non-HDL includes all cholesterol types except HDL, often called "good" cholesterol. It helps assess heart disease risk by including LDL and other fats that can increase this risk.

The cholesterol/HDL ratio compares total cholesterol to "good" HDL cholesterol, helping to evaluate heart disease risk. A higher ratio indicates a greater risk.

A protein involved in the transport and metabolism of lipids, particularly cholesterol. It plays a role in cardiovascular health and is often measured as an indicator of cholesterol-related risks.

An electrolyte essential for maintaining fluid balance, proper nerve function, and muscle contractions.

An electrolyte that helps regulate fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle contractions.

Calcium is an essential mineral that plays a crucial role in maintaining strong bones, supporting nerve and muscle function, and facilitating other vital processes in the body.

A protein that transports iron in the blood. It helps assess iron status and can be used to diagnose conditions such as iron deficiency or iron overload.

Lipase is an enzyme that breaks down fats for digestion. High levels can signal pancreas inflammation, kidney issues, or chronic alcohol use.
