Measures calcium accounting for albumin levels in your blood.

Indicates bone health and muscle function. Important for women's osteoporosis risk assessment, especially post-menopause.

Calcium is essential for bone health, muscle function, nerve transmission, and blood clotting.

Low calcium levels may indicate vitamin D deficiency, kidney disease, or parathyroid problems. High calcium can suggest hyperparathyroidism or certain cancers.

This test measures total calcium in the blood, complementing the adjusted calcium measurement which accounts for protein levels.

Enzyme test detecting muscle damage from injury or strenuous exercise.

Elevated levels indicate muscle breakdown from intense training or injury. Useful for monitoring training load and recovery.

Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body, including energy production, muscle and nerve function, and blood sugar control.

Low magnesium levels may cause muscle cramps, fatigue, and irregular heartbeat. Deficiency is common and can be caused by poor diet, certain medications, or medical conditions.

Adequate magnesium is important for bone health, cardiovascular function, and may help reduce PMS symptoms in women.

Enzyme primarily found in liver cells.

Elevated levels indicate liver damage or inflammation from various causes including medications, alcohol, or autoimmune conditions.

Enzyme found in liver, heart, and muscle tissues.

Elevated levels may indicate liver damage, heart problems, or muscle injury.

Total amount of albumin and globulin proteins in blood.

Abnormal levels may suggest liver disease, kidney problems, or nutritional issues.

Waste product from the breakdown of red blood cells.

High levels may indicate liver problems, bile duct blockage, or excessive red blood cell breakdown.

Total amount of cholesterol in your blood.

High levels increase risk of heart disease. Women's cholesterol levels often change during menopause.

"Good" cholesterol that removes harmful cholesterol from arteries.

Women typically have higher HDL levels than men, providing cardiovascular protection, especially before menopause.

Ratio of protective HDL to total cholesterol.

Higher percentages indicate better cardiovascular health and reduced heart disease risk.

"Bad" cholesterol that can build up in artery walls.

High levels increase risk of heart attack and stroke. Risk increases significantly after menopause.

Type of fat found in blood, stored for energy.

High levels increase heart disease risk and may indicate PCOS or metabolic syndrome in women.

All "bad" cholesterol types combined (total cholesterol minus HDL).

Better predictor of cardiovascular risk, especially important for women with diabetes or PCOS.

Ratio of total cholesterol to protective HDL cholesterol.

Lower ratios indicate better cardiovascular health and reduced heart disease risk.

Apolipoprotein A1 (Apo A1) is a protein that plays a crucial role in lipid metabolism, particularly in the transport of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol.

Elevated levels of Apo A1 are generally associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases, including coronary artery disease and atherosclerosis. Apo A1 is considered a good indicator of HDL cholesterol levels, often referred to as "good cholesterol" due to its protective effects on the cardiovascular system.

Low levels of Apo A1 may indicate metabolic disorders, liver diseases, or certain genetic conditions. Additionally, low Apo A1 levels have been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Apolipoprotein B is a protein found in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, commonly referred to as "bad" cholesterol.

Elevated levels of Apolipoprotein B are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, including heart attack and stroke. This marker may be used to help diagnose and monitor these conditions.

Many experts consider Apolipoprotein B to be a more accurate predictor of cardiovascular risk than LDL cholesterol alone, as it measures the actual number of atherogenic particles in the blood.

The ratio of Apolipoprotein A1 to Apolipoprotein B provides valuable insight into cardiovascular risk.

A higher ratio indicates a more favourable balance between protective HDL particles and atherogenic LDL particles. This ratio is considered one of the most powerful predictors of cardiovascular disease risk.

Lower ratios suggest an increased risk of developing atherosclerosis and heart disease.

Hormone that regulates thyroid gland activity.

High levels suggest underactive thyroid (common in women), while low levels indicate overactive thyroid.

Active form of the main thyroid hormone.

Low levels cause fatigue, weight gain, and fertility issues in women. High levels suggest hyperthyroidism.

Most active thyroid hormone converted from T4.

Provides detailed insight into thyroid function and metabolism regulation, important for women's energy levels.

Antibodies that attack thyroid tissue.

High levels indicate autoimmune thyroid conditions like Hashimoto's thyroiditis, much more common in women.

Antibodies against thyroglobulin protein.

Elevated levels suggest autoimmune thyroid disease or may be present during pregnancy.

Percentage of red blood cells in blood volume.

Low levels in women may indicate iron deficiency anaemia from menstrual blood loss.

Protein carrying oxygen in red blood cells.

Low levels indicate anaemia, particularly common in women due to menstruation.

Average haemoglobin per red blood cell.

Helps classify types of anaemia.

Haemoglobin concentration within red blood cells.

Useful for diagnosing different types of anaemia.

Average red blood cell size measurement.

Number of red blood cells carrying oxygen.

Low counts indicate anaemia.

Variation in red blood cell sizing.

Helps identify mixed anaemia types or developing nutritional deficiencies.

Total number of white blood cells in your blood, the key defenders of your immune system.

Elevated levels may indicate infection, inflammation, or immune disorders. Low levels can suggest bone marrow problems or autoimmune conditions.

Protein that can be elevated in ovarian and other cancers.

Essential for bone health, immune function, and reproductive health.

Deficiency particularly common in women, affecting bone density and increasing osteoporosis risk.

Waste product filtered by healthy kidneys.

High levels indicate reduced kidney function. Women typically have lower levels than men due to less muscle mass.

Cystatin C is a protein produced by all cells in the body and filtered by the kidneys. It provides an alternative measure of kidney function.

Unlike creatinine, Cystatin C levels are less affected by muscle mass, diet, and exercise, making it particularly useful for women and elderly patients.

Elevated Cystatin C levels indicate reduced kidney function and may be a more sensitive early marker of kidney disease than creatinine alone.

Essential for women with PCOS or gestational diabetes history. Values above 42 mmol/mol indicate diabetes, while 42-47 mmol/mol suggests prediabetes.

This test measures the level of glucose (sugar) in the blood. Glucose is the primary source of energy for the body's cells.

This test helps diagnose and monitor diabetes by measuring blood sugar levels. It can also identify hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) which can cause dizziness, confusion, and fainting, or hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) which may indicate uncontrolled diabetes.

For women, glucose testing may be used to screen for gestational diabetes during pregnancy. Fasting glucose levels above 7 mmol/L may indicate diabetes.

Highly sensitive marker of inflammation and cardiovascular risk.

Elevated levels increase heart attack risk, especially important for women after menopause when cardiovascular risk increases.
