Biomarkers

Stress Levels (Cortisol)

Cortisol Biomarker: Overview
Cortisol is a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands, playing a key role in metabolism, inflammation control, and the sleep-wake cycle. Its levels typically peak in the morning and drop in the evening, following a natural diurnal rhythm.

Importance of Cortisol as a Biomarker
Stress Levels: Chronic stress often leads to elevated cortisol levels.
Adrenal Function: Abnormal levels can indicate conditions like Addison’s disease or Cushing’s syndrome.
Sleep Disorders: Disrupted cortisol patterns may signal sleep irregularities.
Other Conditions: Links to hypertension, obesity, diabetes, and related diseases.
Cortisol testing, through blood, saliva, or urine, provides valuable insights into overall health.

Albumin

Albumin is a vital blood plasma protein produced by the liver, playing a key role in transporting substances, maintaining fluid balance, and preventing leakage from blood vessels. Abnormal levels may indicate kidney or liver issues, making it an important marker for diagnosing related health conditions.

Alanine transferase (ALT)

Alanine Transferase (ALT) is an enzyme produced by liver and heart cells, crucial for assessing liver health. ALT tests measure enzyme levels in the bloodstream but do not quantify liver damage. Elevated levels may indicate liver stress from drugs, alcohol, or infections like hepatitis. Normal ALT ranges vary based on age and sex.

Bilirubin

When red blood cells break down, they produce a brownish-yellow pigment called bilirubin. Excessive bilirubin in the bloodstream can indicate liver disease or cause jaundice.

Total Cholesterol

Total cholesterol measures the overall cholesterol in your blood, including HDL (good cholesterol) and LDL (bad cholesterol). Produced by the liver, cholesterol is vital for creating vitamin D, bile, and cell membranes. It also helps transport fatty acids through the blood. Monitoring cholesterol levels is essential for assessing heart health and risks of cardiovascular issues like heart disease and heart attacks.

HDL Cholesterol

HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) is often called “good cholesterol” due to its role in removing excess cholesterol from the body. HDL protects the heart and blood vessels through its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, transporting fat to the liver for processing. Optimal HDL levels are crucial for health. The Welzo HDL test identifies your HDL levels and provides insights for improving and maintaining healthy levels.

LDL Cholesterol

LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein), often called “bad cholesterol,” helps transport fats like triglycerides. Elevated LDL levels can increase the risk of cardiovascular problems, such as heart disease and heart attacks. This is because high LDL can lead to fatty deposits building up in artery walls, causing atherosclerosis and reducing blood flow. Maintaining healthy LDL levels is essential for cardiovascular health.

Urea

Urea is a waste product formed from protein breakdown and excreted through urine. Normal serum urea levels range from 2.5 to 7.0 mmol/L. Elevated levels may indicate kidney dysfunction, dehydration, or, in severe cases, kidney failure or cardiac issues. Urea measurement is vital for assessing kidney and renal gland function.

estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR)

The estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) measures kidney function by assessing how well the kidneys filter waste from the blood. An eGFR of 60 or higher is considered normal, while a value below 60 may indicate reduced kidney function or potential kidney disease.

Iron

Iron is a vital mineral in the blood that helps produce hemoglobin, the protein responsible for transporting oxygen throughout the body. Insufficient iron can lead to anemia, causing fatigue and muscle weakness due to inadequate oxygen supply. Iron is primarily sourced from the diet and the breakdown of red blood cells. Low iron levels can often be treated with dietary adjustments or iron supplements.

Unsaturated Iron Binding Capacity (UIBC)

Unsaturated Iron Binding Capacity (UIBC) measures the amount of iron that is not yet bound to transferrin, a protein responsible for transporting iron to the bone marrow for the production of hemoglobin and red blood cells. UIBC helps assess iron levels in the body and can indicate iron deficiency or overload.

Ferritin

Ferritin is a protein that stores iron in the body, primarily in the liver and other cells. It releases iron when needed to support functions like oxygen transport to muscles. Monitoring ferritin levels ensures proper iron storage, preventing depletion and ensuring the body has enough iron for essential functions.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D is essential for bone health, muscle function, and overall well-being. It can be obtained through food, supplements, or fortified products. Insufficient levels may lead to conditions like osteoporosis or muscle weakness. An average vitamin D level ranges from 20 to 50 ng/mL. If levels are low, supplementation or fortified foods may be recommended.

Folate B12

Folate, also known as folic acid or vitamin B, is essential for the healthy creation and regulation of red blood cells. A typical folate level ranges from 2.7 to 17 ng/mL. Levels below 2.7 ng/mL may indicate a folate deficiency, which can lead to anemia and other health issues.

Oestradiol

The Oestradiol Blood Test measures the levels of oestradiol in the blood. This hormone decreases significantly in women over 50, often leading to symptoms like hot flashes, infertility, osteoporosis, night sweats, and mood swings, especially during menopause. Men with concerns about abnormal breast tissue growth and women with irregular menstrual cycles can benefit from this test. The results are accompanied by certified doctor’s comments to help identify any underlying issues.

Luteinising Hormone (LH)

Luteinising Hormone (LH) is produced by the pituitary gland and plays a crucial role in sexual health. In women, LH helps regulate the menstrual cycle and triggers ovulation by stimulating the release of eggs from the ovaries. LH levels surge just before ovulation. Monitoring LH levels is vital for assessing female fertility, as imbalances can lead to fertility issues.

Free Thyroxine (FT4)

FT4 (Free Thyroxine) is one of the key hormones produced by the thyroid gland. Although it is produced in higher quantities than FT3, FT4 serves as a reservoir for FT3, which the body converts as needed. Most of the thyroxine in the blood is unbound (not attached to a protein). A Menopause blood test can help detect whether there is a deficiency or excess of FT4, assisting in the identification of thyroid-related conditions.

Globulin

Globulin is a group of proteins produced by the liver and immune system. It plays a vital role in maintaining health by helping fight infections and germs. Additionally, globulin is essential for blood clotting, preventing excessive external bleeding in case of injury.

Total Protein

Total Protein measures the combined amount of two main types of proteins in the blood: Albumin and Globulin. Albumin helps prevent fluid from leaking out of the bloodstream, while Globulin, produced by the liver and immune system, strengthens the immune response by fighting infections and germs.

Gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT)

The gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) test measures the level of the GGT enzyme in the blood. GGT helps transport molecules and metabolize toxins and drugs in the liver. Elevated GGT levels may indicate liver damage or disease, such as hepatitis or cirrhosis. It is also used to monitor bile duct infections and alcohol abuse.

Alkaline Phosphate (ALP)

Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme found in the liver, kidneys, bones, and digestive system. Elevated ALP levels in the bloodstream can indicate liver disease or bone disorders, such as bone diseases or blockages in the bile ducts.

Triglycerides

Triglycerides are a type of blood fat that serves as the body’s primary fat storage and energy source. Produced in the liver, they play a crucial role in energy storage and metabolism. However, elevated triglyceride levels can increase the risk of cardiovascular issues, making it important to monitor them alongside overall cholesterol levels for heart health.

HDL % of total

HDL (high-density lipoprotein) percentage of total cholesterol calculates the proportion of “good” cholesterol (HDL) in comparison to your overall cholesterol level. This test helps assess your cardiovascular risk by evaluating the balance between “good” (HDL) and “bad” (LDL) cholesterol in your blood. Healthcare professionals use this percentage to gauge your overall heart health and potential risk for heart disease.

Non HDL Cholesterol

In addition to measuring your HDL and LDL levels, this test includes a non-HDL cholesterol check, which encompasses all harmful cholesterol in your blood. Non-HDL cholesterol is a key risk factor for cardiovascular health, with levels ideally below 4mmol/L. Monitoring both HDL and LDL levels allows for tracking the effects of lifestyle and dietary changes on your cholesterol, helping you optimize your health based on these biomarkers.

Creatinine

Creatinine is a waste product produced when creatine, a component of muscles, breaks down. It is typically excreted by the kidneys. Elevated creatinine levels can indicate that the kidneys are not effectively filtering and removing waste products from the body, which may signal kidney dysfunction or disease.

Hba1c

Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is a measure of long-term blood glucose (sugar) levels. Hemoglobin, found in red blood cells, carries oxygen throughout the body. As glucose attaches to hemoglobin, HbA1c levels reflect average glucose levels over the past three months. This test is crucial for monitoring diabetes and identifying pre-diabetic conditions.

Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC)

The Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) test measures the amount of iron in the bloodstream and how effectively it is transported by transferrin, a protein that carries iron. Imbalances in iron levels can lead to health issues: too little iron can cause anemia, while too much iron, often due to conditions like hemochromatosis, can cause fatigue, weakness, and irregular heart rhythms.

Transferrin Saturation

Transferrin Saturation measures the percentage of transferrin, a protein responsible for transporting iron, that is bound to iron. This process ensures that iron is delivered to the body’s muscles, where it contributes to the production of hemoglobin and aids in oxygen transport, providing energy for movement.

Uric Acid

Uric acid is a waste product formed from purines, which are found in certain foods like anchovies, dried beans, beer, and wine. Normally, the kidneys filter uric acid, but excess levels can lead to gout, a type of arthritis causing pain in joints such as fingers, toes, wrists, and ankles. High uric acid levels can also result from cancer treatments, while low levels may indicate liver or kidney disease.

Vitamin B12 total

Vitamin B12 is essential for red blood cell production and nerve function. It can be obtained from food, supplements, and fortified products. A deficiency in vitamin B12 may lead to anemia or nerve damage. Normal levels range from 200 to 900 ng/mL. If levels are low, your doctor may recommend supplements or fortified foods to improve your intake.

hs-CRP

C-Reactive Protein (CRP) is a blood protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation. Elevated CRP levels are linked to increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, including heart attack and stroke. It is also elevated in chronic inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis. Although CRP is not disease-specific, it serves as a valuable marker for identifying inflammation in the body.

Follicle Stimulating Hormone

Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) is produced by the pituitary gland and plays a crucial role in sexual health. It helps regulate the ovaries in women, stimulating the growth of ovarian follicles and contributing to the production of oestradiol. As one of the gonadotropic hormones, along with Luteinising Hormone (LH), FSH is essential for healthy reproductive function. Due to its importance in female fertility, FSH is a key component of Welzo’s advanced female fertility home test.

Free Triiodothyronine (FT3)

FT3 (free tri-iodothyronine) is one of the two key hormones produced by the thyroid gland, playing a critical role in regulating metabolism, energy levels, and overall thyroid function. Although it is present in smaller amounts than FT4 (free thyroxine), FT3 has a more significant impact on the body. Imbalances in FT3 levels—whether too high or too low—can lead to various thyroid-related health issues. The Menopause Blood Test includes the measurement of FT3, as its levels are not bound to proteins, providing valuable insights into thyroid health and functioning.

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)

TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) is produced by the pituitary gland to regulate thyroid function. Abnormal levels of TSH can indicate thyroid problems: high levels suggest hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid), and low levels indicate hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid). Symptoms like weight changes, anxiety, palpitations, and irregular menstrual cycles can result from TSH imbalances.
