- Cholesterol, LDL: "Bad cholesterol"; high levels increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
- Triglycerides: Another type of fat that circulates in the blood and is associated with the risk of heart disease.
- Lipoprotein a [Lp(a)]: A specific type of cholesterol that is a genetic risk factor for heart disease.
- Homocysteine: An amino acid whose high levels pose a risk for cardiovascular disease.
- C Reactive Protein (CRP): It is a sensitive marker that indicates inflammation in the body and indirectly cardiac risk.
Biochemistry and Hormone
- Blood Sugar (Glucose): Used for the diagnosis and monitoring of diabetes.
- Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c): Shows the average of your blood sugar level for the last 3 months and is important in diabetes risk and follow-up.
- Insulin: The hormone that regulates blood sugar; used to evaluate insulin resistance
Biochemistry and Hormone
- Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT - SGPT): It is an enzyme that evaluates liver functions and possible liver damage.
- Creatinine: Evaluates the kidneys' ability to filter blood and overall kidney function.
- Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH): Used to evaluate the functions and diseases of the thyroid gland (goiter).
Diabetes Panel
- Blood Sugar (Glucose): Used for the diagnosis and monitoring of diabetes.
- Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c): Shows the average of your blood sugar level for the last 3 months and is important in diabetes risk and follow-up.
- Insulin: The hormone that regulates blood sugar; used to evaluate insulin resistance.
Hematology (Blood Count)
- Complete Blood Count (Hemogram): Used to screen for anemia, infection conditions and various blood diseases.
Urine Tests
- Complete Urine Examination: Used in the evaluation of kidney diseases, urinary tract infections and some systemic diseases.
