Hemoglobin
The amount of oxygen-carrying protein in red blood cells
Red Blood Cell Count
The number of red blood cells in the blood
Hematocrit
The proportion of blood made of red blood cells
Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin
The average amount of hemoglobin per red blood cell
Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration
The average concentration of hemoglobin in red blood cells
Mean Corpuscular Volume
The average size of red blood cells
Platelet Count
The number of platelets in the blood
White Blood Cell Count
The number of white blood cells in the blood
Potassium
Nerve and muscle function
Sodium
Fluid and electrolyte balance
Calcium
The amount of calcium in the blood
Chloride
The amount of chloride in the blood
Glucose
Blood sugar level; diabetes screening
Albumin/Globulin Ratio
The Albumin/Globulin (A/G) Ratio compares the amount of albumin to globulins in the blood.
Globulin
Globulins are a group of proteins in the blood that play important roles in liver and kidney function, blood clotting, and fighting infection.
Albumin
Albumin is the most abundant protein in blood plasma, produced by the liver.
Total Protein
Total Protein is a measure of all proteins in the blood, primarily albumin and globulins.
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.
Aspartate Aminotransferase
Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) is an enzyme found in several tissues, including the liver, heart, muscles, kidneys, and brain.
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.
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.
Apolipoprotein A-I
HDL-associated protein with protective cardiovascular effects
Apolipoprotein B
Best measure of atherogenic particle number
High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol
The 'good' cholesterol that helps remove other forms of cholesterol from the bloodstream
Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol
The 'bad' cholesterol that can build up in the arteries
LDL Particle Number
Measure of the total number of LDL particles, which matters more than LDL-C alone
LDL Particle Size
Measure of LDL particle diameter, with small particles associated with higher cardiovascular risk
Lipoprotein(a)
Genetic risk factor for cardiovascular disease, not modifiable by lifestyle
Total Cholesterol
Overall cholesterol level in the blood
Triglycerides
Blood fats that serve as an energy source and cardiovascular risk marker
Blood Urea Nitrogen
The amount of urea nitrogen in the blood
Creatinine
The amount of creatinine in the blood
