What This Test Measures

    Your vitamin D level. Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium.

  • Cholesterol Profile

    Total cholesterol, HDL, LDL and triglycerides: the main fats carried in your blood.

  • Inflammation (hs-CRP)

    High-sensitivity C-reactive protein, a general marker of inflammation in the body.

  • Insulin Resistance

    Your triglyceride-to-HDL ratio, a common indicator of how well your body responds to insulin.

  • Average Blood Sugar (HbA1c)

    Your average blood sugar over roughly the past two to three months.

  • Visceral Fat

    An estimate of the fat stored around your internal organs.

  • AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase)

    An enzyme found in the liver, heart and muscles.

  • ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase)

    An enzyme found mainly in the liver.

  • AST:ALT Ratio

    Your AST level compared with your ALT level, calculated from the two results.

  • Total Bilirubin

    A yellowish substance from the normal breakdown of red blood cells, processed by the liver.

  • Alkaline Phosphatase

    An enzyme found in the liver, bones and other tissues.

  • Creatinine

    A waste product of normal muscle activity, filtered out by the kidneys.

  • eGFR (Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate)

    An estimate of how much blood your kidneys filter each minute, calculated from creatinine.

  • Fasting Glucose

    The amount of sugar in your blood after a period without eating.
