Bones provide structural support for the body and protect delicate organs and tissues. Bones require calcium and vitamin D to remain strong and healthy. Bone Health helps evaluate levels of bone-strength factors and identify individuals at risk of osteoporosis.

Cardiovascular health markers provide a comprehensive assessment of your heart disease and stroke risk by measuring various cholesterol particles, inflammatory markers, cardiac enzymes, and other substances that affect your cardiovascular system. This comprehensive panel includes total cholesterol, HDL ("good" cholesterol that protects arteries), LDL ("bad" cholesterol that clogs arteries), triglycerides, and advanced markers like apolipoproteins, lipoprotein(a), homocysteine, and high-sensitivity CRP. These biomarkers evaluate your risk of atherosclerosis (plaque buildup in arteries), inflammation levels, blood clot formation tendency, and can detect actual heart muscle damage. Heart disease remains the leading cause of death globally, but most cardiovascular events are preventable through early detection of risk factors and lifestyle modifications guided by these biomarkers.

Iron status assessment provides a comprehensive evaluation of your body's iron stores, iron transport in the bloodstream, and iron utilization for hemoglobin production. This panel typically includes serum iron (the amount of iron currently circulating), ferritin (stored iron in tissues), transferrin (the protein that transports iron), Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC), and transferrin saturation. Together, these markers help differentiate between iron deficiency anemia, anemia of chronic disease, and dangerous iron overload conditions like hemochromatosis.

Liver function tests assess your liver's ability to perform its over 500 essential functions including producing proteins for blood clotting, filtering toxins and waste products, metabolizing medications and alcohol, regulating blood sugar between meals, storing vitamins and minerals, and producing bile for fat digestion. Key enzymes include ALT and AST which leak from damaged liver cells, alkaline phosphatase or ALP indicating bile duct problems, and GGT which is particularly sensitive to alcohol damage.

Nutritional Health markers assess your body's nutritional status by measuring essential vitamins, minerals, and proteins required for normal body function.

These simple body measurements give useful context for every health assessment, helping us understand body composition, cardiovascular risk, and changes over time.
