Full Blood Count:

Full Blood Count (FBC) provides information about the different cells in the blood, these include the red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Red blood cells contain haemoglobin which carries oxygen to the different tissues in the body whereas white blood cells control the immune system and protect the body from foreign invaders such as bacteria and viruses. FBC testing is used as a screening test for various disorders like anaemia and infections. FBC includes the following Individual Biomarkers: Haemoglobin, Haematocrit, mean cell Haemoglobin, mean cell haemoglobin concentration (MCHC), Mean cell volume, red blood cell count, Basophil count, Eosinophil count, Lymphocyte count, Monocyte count, Neutrophil count, white blood cell count, platelet count.

Heart Health:

Total Cholesterol is a measurement of the total amount of cholesterol in the blood. This includes low-density and high-density lipoprotein cholesterols. Cholesterol is used to produce hormones for development, growth and reproduction.

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is a form of cholesterol which is considered ‘good’ cholesterol because it helps remove cholesterol from the heart’s arteries.

Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is considered ‘bad’ cholesterol because it contributes to cholesterol build-up and blockage in the arteries.

Total Cholesterol/ HDL Cholesterol Ratio: HDL Ratio is a mathematical calculation which indicates the ratio of total cholesterol versus ‘good’ (HDL) cholesterol in the blood. A lower ratio is better for heart health, while a higher ratio can increase the risk of heart disease.

Triglyceride is another type of fat (not the same as cholesterol) found in the bloodstream.

High Sensitivity involves tests that can detect early signs of heart problems, like low inflammation in the body, even before symptoms appear. This helps identify people at risk for heart disease early, allowing for better prevention.

C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is a protein which increases in the blood during inflammation. hs CRP tests are used to predict the risk of heart conditions such as a heart attack. It can also be used to indicate whether an infection is bacterial or viral.

Diabetes Health:

HbA1c is a blood test that shows your average blood sugar levels over the last 2–3 months. It helps diagnose diabetes, track how well your blood sugar is being managed, and check your risk for complications.
