Who is the Baseline Blood Test for?
25 Biomarkers
Liver Health
Liver tests, frequently known as liver function tests (LFTs), are a group of blood tests that help assess the health of your liver. These tests measure the levels of various enzymes, proteins, and substances produced or excreted by the liver to detect liver damage, inflammation, or disease.
Cholesterol (lipid profile)
A cholesterol or lipid panel test measures various cholesterol components to assess cardiovascular disease risk. Early detection of high cholesterol enables lifestyle changes and treatments that can lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Vitamins
Vitamins are essential nutrients obtained from food and sunlight. They support vital functions like bone health, energy production and fighting infection. Deficiencies can lead to various health issues, including bone disorders, anaemia, low mood and fatigue.
Minerals
Minerals support bone strength, muscle function, nerve signaling, and energy production. They regulate vital processes such as blood pressure and immune responses. Key minerals like calcium, magnesium, and iron are obtained through diet and are crucial for preventing deficiencies and maintaining overall health.
Inflammation
Inflammation is the body's natural response to injury, disease or infection. Measuring inflammation is important for early disease detection, monitoring chronic conditions, and assessing overall health. It helps identify infections and autoimmune disorders as well as assessing cardiovascular risk.
Full Blood Count (FBC)
A Full Blood Count (FBC) test measures various components of blood. In this test it includes red and white blood cell count together with haemoglobin. These tests helps identify conditions like anaemia, infections, and blood disorders.
Sex Steriod Hormones
Sex steroid hormones like testosterone and oestradiol are vital for numerous physiological processes within the body. Their roles extend far beyond reproduction influencing mood, bone health, cognitive function and metabolism.
Creatine Kinase
Creatine Kinase (CK) is an enzyme found in muscle. Raised levels of CK are an indicator of muscular micro-damage. This can be associated with high impact or high resistance training load, dehydration, specific medical conditions and some medications. A CK test is useful in helping to prevent overtraining and related injuries.
Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)
HbA1c provides an average reading of blood sugar levels over a period of 2-3 months. It is considered one of the best indicators of pre-diabetes and is also used by people with diabetes to monitor their levels. High blood glucose levels puts you more at risk of gaining weight, high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes.
