About this test’s biomarkers
A blood biomarker is a substance or characteristic that can be measured in a person’s blood to indicate the presence or severity of a disease or condition. Biomarkers can be used for early detection, diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring treatment effectiveness.
Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) is a hormone that controls your thyroid gland and the production of its hormones known as thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). The TSH test signifies the efficiency and health of your thyroid gland, as well as if your body’s metabolism is regulated.
Affects
Free Thyroxine (FT4)
Free Thyroxine (FT4) is a hormone produced by the thyroid gland and its function is to regulate the metabolism and energy of your body. The FT4 test shows the amount of FT4 that is available for your body to use. If the level of FT4 is unbalanced, it means that your thyroid gland is underactive or overactive which are the conditions that must be treated.
Affects
Free triiodothyronine (FT3)
Free Triiodothyronine (FT3) is one of two hormones that the thyroid gland produces, but it is also made by the conversion of T4 to T3 inside of cells of your body. The test of FT3 in combination with TSH and FT4 provides a complete picture of the health of your thyroid gland and regulation of your metabolism.
Affects
Thyroglobuline antibodies (TgAb)
Thyroglobulin Antibodies (TgAb) is a protein that is produced by your thyroid and helps in the activation of thyroid hormones. If the level of TgAB is unbalanced, it indicates that your thyroid gland is attacked by your own immune system – autoimmune diseases.
Affects
Thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb)
Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies (TPOAb) is an enzyme that is produced in your thyroid gland, and it helps in the production of thyroid hormones. The TPOAbtest helps to diagnose an autoimmune disorder that affects the efficiency and health of your thyroid gland.
Affects
Vitamin D
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a crucial role in bone health, immune function, and overall health. A blood test for Vitamin D measures the amount of this vitamin in the blood. The test is typically done to evaluate the levels of Vitamin D in the body and to help diagnose and monitor conditions such as vitamin D deficiency, osteoporosis, and rickets.
Affects
hs-CRP (High Sensitivity)
High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is a protein produced by the liver and it represents an inflammation marker used to determine whether there is inflammation in your body or not. The levels of CRP vary in response to inflammation or tissue damage. The result of the hs-CRP test can show if there is a risk for some health problems such as diabetes, obesity, and heart diseases.
Affects
Total Iron-binding Capacity (TIBC)
The Total Iron-binding Capacity (TIBC) test measures your blood’s capacity to bind and carry iron, also it gives an indication of the amount of iron that is available in the body. The results help in identifying iron deficiency or iron overload.
Affects
Ferritin
Ferritin is a protein that stores iron in cells and tissues of your body. Measuring ferritin shows the amount of iron that is stored and is an important indicator of an unbalanced level of iron.
Affects
Transferrin saturation (TSAT)
Transferrin is a protein that carries iron throughout your body. Transferrin saturation (TSAT) test provides a percentage of transferrin that is carrying iron and therefore it helps in determining the level of iron in your body.
Affects
Iron (Fe)
Iron is one of the essential minerals that are part of haemoglobin – the protein in our red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. An unbalanced level of iron can cause a lot of health problems, such as anxiety, headache, and anaemia, and therefore it is an important biomarker to be tested.
Affects
Diabetes Risk (HbA1c)
Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) test measures the average blood sugar (glucose) levels over the past two to three months, and it is a common test used to monitor glucose control in people with diabetes. It is important to maintain good glucose control, as uncontrolled diabetes can lead to a range of serious health problems, such as health diseases, nerve, and kidney damage.
Affects
Unsaturated iron-binding capacity (UIBC)
Unsaturated Iron-Binding Capacity (UIBC) is a laboratory test that measures the amount of iron that can be bound to transferrin, a protein that transports iron in the blood. The UIBC test helps evaluate a person's iron status and the body's ability to transport and use iron.
Affects
Vitamin B9 (folic acid)
The vitamin B9 test is also known as the folic acid test, and it measures the amount of folic acid in your blood. It represents a B-complex vitamin that plays a crucial role in the production of DNA and RNA and helps in the formation of red blood cells. Further, intake of folic acid is especially important during pregnancy, as well as if the person has anemia or liver disease.
Affects
Active Vitamin B12
Active B12 is an essential biomarker revealing your body's functional vitamin B12 status. It comprises 6-30% of total B12 reserves. Active B12 testing provides a precise assessment of your body's real-time B12 levels, identifying deficiencies earlier than total B12 testing alone. Adequate active B12 is critical for energy production, red blood cell formation, nerve function, and brain health. Low active B12 serves as a reliable deficiency marker, indicating risks of anaemia and neurological issues over time if not addressed. Regular active B12 testing allows early detection of potential deficiencies, enabling timely steps to improve status before long-term health problems develop.
