Triglycerides
Triglycerides are a type of fat that your body uses for energy. High levels over time may contribute to cardiovascular risk. Triglycerides are often measured alongside cholesterol as part of a broader heart health assessment.
Total Cholesterol
Measures the overall amount of cholesterol in your blood, including both “good” and “bad” types. It provides a useful overview of your cardiovascular health.
Non-HDL Cholesterol
Represents all cholesterol types except HDL (“good” cholesterol). This gives a broader picture of cholesterol that may impact heart health.
Low Density Lipoprotein
Often referred to as “bad cholesterol,” LDL carries cholesterol to tissues. Monitoring levels helps assess how cholesterol is being transported in your body.
High Density Lipoprotein
Known as “good cholesterol,” HDL helps remove excess cholesterol from the bloodstream. Healthy levels are supportive of overall heart health.
Cholesterol:HDL Ratio
Shows the balance between total cholesterol and HDL. This ratio provides additional insight into overall cardiovascular wellbeing.
Apolipoprotein A
A key protein that helps transport cholesterol away from arteries. It provides further insight into cholesterol activity.
Apolipoprotein B
A protein found in cholesterol particles that carry lipids through the bloodstream. Measuring this helps assess the number of these particles for a more detailed view of heart health.
Apolipoprotein B:A Ratio
Compares ApoB and ApoA levels to give a more refined understanding of cholesterol balance and cardiovascular health.
High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein
A marker that reflects low levels of inflammation in the body. It provides additional context when assessing overall cardiovascular wellbeing.
HbA1c
Reflects your average blood sugar levels over the past 2–3 months. It helps assess how your body is managing glucose over time.
Thyroid Function (TSH/FT4)
Supports metabolism, energy levels, and overall cardiovascular function. Balanced thyroid hormones play an important role in maintaining heart health.
Ferritin
Indicates your body’s iron stores. Adequate iron levels support oxygen transport and overall energy levels.
Vitamin B12
Supports your energy levels, mood, and overall wellbeing. It also plays an important role in keeping your nervous system healthy.
Folate
Works alongside vitamin B12 to support energy, general health, and your body’s natural cell renewal processes.
Liver Function
Provides insight into how your body is processing nutrients and supporting everyday functions like digestion and energy.
ALT – Linked to normal liver activity.
White Blood Cells
Support your body’s natural defence system.
Urate (Uric Acid)
A natural substance your body produces and removes. Measuring levels helps give insight into your overall metabolic balance.
Creatine Kinase
An enzyme linked to muscle activity. Levels can naturally vary depending on exercise and daily activity, offering insight into muscle recovery and wellbeing.
Urea (BUN)
A natural waste product your body processes and removes.
Creatinine
Provides insight into how your body is filtering waste.
eGFR (Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate)
Provides an overall picture of how efficiently your kidneys are filtering waste from the blood. A key marker of kidney health.
Gamma-glutamyl Transferase (GGT)
An enzyme that helps give a broader picture of liver wellbeing. GGT is sensitive to changes in liver function and can be influenced by alcohol, medication, and metabolic factors.
Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST)
An enzyme found in the liver and muscle tissue. AST levels help assess liver health and can also reflect changes in muscle activity or recovery.
Albumin
A protein that supports fluid balance in the body.
Red Blood Cells
Help carry oxygen around your body, supporting energy levels.
Haemoglobin
Help carry oxygen around your body, supporting energy levels.
Haematocrit
Help carry oxygen around your body, supporting energy levels.
