Biomarkers Measured
A 14-in-1 panel covering the markers that reveal how your metabolism, liver and kidneys are really doing.
Vitamin D
A key nutrient for immune defence, brain and nervous system function. Calcium — the main building block of bone — can only be absorbed when vitamin D is available.
Cholesterol Profile
An important indicator of heart health. This lipid panel reports Total Cholesterol, HDL, LDL and Triglyceride levels in the blood.
Inflammation (HSCRP)
High-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein reflects overall inflammation and can help flag liver scarring, long-term liver conditions and related concerns.
Insulin Resistance
A raised TG/HDL ratio is a well-recognised proxy for insulin resistance, which raises cardiovascular risk and often precedes type-2 diabetes.
Average Blood Sugars (HbA1c)
Your typical glucose level across the previous two to three months. Measured via HbA1c and used to gauge diabetes and prediabetes risk.
Visceral Fat
The fat held deep in the abdomen around organs such as the heart, liver and intestines. It secretes hormones and compounds that can harm the body.
AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase)
One of the two principal liver enzymes, essential to amino acid metabolism. Damaged liver cells release it into the blood.
ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase)
The other main liver enzyme, which turns proteins into usable energy within the liver. It also leaks into the blood when liver cells are injured.
AST:ALT Ratio
Comparing serum aspartate against alanine amino-transferase gives clinicians a useful hint about what is driving an underlying liver problem.
Total Bilirubin
A yellow pigment created as red blood cells are routinely broken down. The liver processes it and passes it into bile, the fluid that helps digestion.
Alkaline Phosphatase
An enzyme present in tissue across the body — liver, kidneys and intestines among them — with a central part in many metabolic processes.
Creatinine
A waste by-product of creatine, the compound used to supply energy. Serum levels show how effectively the kidneys are clearing toxins from blood.
eGFR (Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate)
An estimate of kidney performance based on the volume of blood filtered each minute by the glomeruli, the kidney's microscopic waste filters.
Fasting Glucose
Elevated blood sugar can injure the small vessels inside the kidneys and erode their function. A fasting reading helps screen for prediabetes and diabetes.
