blood tests in Cape Town.

The total amount of cholesterol carried in your blood.

Cholesterol carried by low-density lipoproteins, considered as part of your cardiovascular assessment.

Cholesterol carried by high-density lipoproteins, which help transport cholesterol back to the liver.

A type of fat in your blood that your body uses for energy.

Total cholesterol minus HDL, covering cholesterol in the other lipoprotein particles.

A protein on several cholesterol-carrying particles, used to help assess their number.

The main protein in HDL particles, involved in transporting cholesterol.

An amino acid in the blood whose level can be influenced by B vitamins and kidney function.

The total amount of testosterone in your blood, including protein-bound and free hormone.

A protein that binds sex hormones and affects how much is freely available.

A form of oestrogen, interpreted alongside your symptoms, sex and life stage.

A hormone made mainly by the adrenal glands that can be converted into other sex hormones.

A morning measurement of cortisol, a hormone involved in the stress response and metabolism.

A protein influenced by growth hormone, used to assess growth hormone activity.

A protein made by the prostate. The result is interpreted alongside your history and other findings.

The form of vitamin D commonly measured to assess your vitamin D status.

A vitamin needed for red blood cell formation and normal nerve function.

Vitamin B9, needed for cell growth and red blood cell formation.

A group of tests assessing iron in the blood, iron transport and stored iron.

An enzyme found mainly in the liver, measured as part of a liver assessment.

An enzyme found in the liver, muscles and other tissues, interpreted alongside other markers.

An enzyme associated with the bile ducts and bone, assessed alongside other results.

An enzyme used alongside other tests to assess the liver and bile ducts.

A hormone from the pituitary gland that signals the thyroid to produce thyroid hormones.

Measures thyroxine (T4) that is not bound to blood proteins. It is interpreted alongside TSH to assess thyroid function.

Measures triiodothyronine (T3) that is not bound to blood proteins. T3 is the more active thyroid hormone.

Creatinine is a waste product in the blood. It helps estimate how well your kidneys filter.

Measures red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and haemoglobin.

Measures small amounts of a protein that rises with inflammation.

Your blood sugar level after fasting.

Reflects your average blood sugar over roughly the previous two to three months.

Your insulin level after fasting, considered alongside blood sugar results.

The total amount of testosterone in your blood, including protein-bound and free hormone.

Measures testosterone that is not bound to blood proteins.

A protein that binds sex hormones and affects how much is freely available.

Measures luteinising hormone, which helps regulate ovulation and testosterone production.

Measures follicle-stimulating hormone, which supports egg development in the ovaries and sperm production in the testes.

Measures a pituitary hormone involved in breast milk production. Raised levels can affect reproductive hormone function.

A form of oestrogen, interpreted alongside your symptoms, sex and life stage.

Reflects your average blood sugar over roughly the previous two to three months.

A form of oestrogen, interpreted alongside your symptoms, sex and life stage.

Measures a hormone involved in the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. Results depend on when the sample is taken in the cycle.

Measures luteinising hormone, which helps regulate ovulation and testosterone production.

Measures follicle-stimulating hormone, which supports egg development in the ovaries and sperm production in the testes.

Measures triiodothyronine (T3) that is not bound to blood proteins. T3 is the more active thyroid hormone.

Measures red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and haemoglobin.

Measures a protein that stores iron. Ferritin can also rise with inflammation, so it is interpreted alongside other results.

Reflects your average blood sugar over roughly the previous two to three months.

An enzyme found mainly in the liver, measured as part of a liver assessment.

An enzyme used alongside other tests to assess the liver and bile ducts.

Measures small amounts of a protein that rises with inflammation.

Measures a protein that stores iron. Ferritin can also rise with inflammation, so it is interpreted alongside other results.
