A/G

Albumin/Globulin Ratio

The Albumin/Globulin (A/G) Ratio compares the amount of albumin to globulins in the blood.

Category: Metabolic Health
GLOB

Globulin

Globulins are a group of proteins in the blood that play important roles in liver and kidney function, blood clotting, and fighting infection.

Category: Hematologic System
ALB

Albumin

Albumin is the most abundant protein in blood plasma, produced by the liver.

Category: Metabolic Health
TP

Total Protein

Total Protein is a measure of all proteins in the blood, primarily albumin and globulins.

ALT

Alanine Aminotransferase

Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) is an enzyme found primarily in liver cells. It plays a role in the metabolism of proteins and is released into the bloodstream when liver cells are damaged.

Category: Liver Health
AST

Aspartate Aminotransferase

Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) is an enzyme found in several tissues, including the liver, heart, muscles, kidneys, and brain.

Category: Liver Health
ALP

Alkaline Phosphatase

Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme found in several tissues throughout the body, with the highest concentrations in the liver, bile ducts, and bones. It plays a role in breaking down proteins and is involved in normal bone mineralization and development.

TBIL

Total Bilirubin

Total Bilirubin is a substance produced during the normal breakdown of red blood cells. The liver processes bilirubin so it can be excreted from the body.

ApoB

Apolipoprotein B

Best measure of atherogenic particle number

Category: Heart Health
HDL

The 'good' cholesterol that helps remove other forms of cholesterol from the bloodstream

Category: Heart Health
LDL

Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol

The 'bad' cholesterol that can build up in the arteries

Category: Heart Health
LDL-P

LDL Particle Number

Measure of the total number of LDL particles, which matters more than LDL-C alone

Category: Heart Health
