A calculated ratio of albumin to globulin, used to help identify liver disease, kidney disease, or chronic inflammation.

A calculated ratio that helps distinguish between different causes of kidney function changes, such as dehydration versus kidney damage.

A byproduct of red blood cell breakdown, processed by the liver; elevated levels can indicate liver or bile duct issues.

Alkaline Phosphatase — an enzyme from the liver and bones; elevated levels can indicate liver, bile duct, or bone conditions.

Aspartate Aminotransferase — a liver enzyme; elevated levels can indicate liver stress or damage.

Alanine Aminotransferase — a liver enzyme considered more specific to liver health than AST.

Reflects your average blood sugar over the past 2-3 months, used to screen for and monitor prediabetes and diabetes.

Measures insulin levels after fasting; elevated levels are one of the earliest signs of insulin resistance, often appearing years before blood sugar becomes abnormal.

The combined measure of all cholesterol carried in your blood, used as a baseline cardiovascular risk marker.

A type of fat in your blood; elevated levels are linked to cardiovascular risk and often reflect diet, alcohol intake, or insulin resistance.

"Good" cholesterol that helps clear excess cholesterol from your bloodstream; higher levels are generally protective.

"Bad" cholesterol that can build up in artery walls; typically calculated from your other lipid values rather than measured directly.

A calculated ratio of total cholesterol to HDL, used as an additional cardiovascular risk indicator.

Total cholesterol minus HDL, capturing all the potentially artery-clogging cholesterol particles in one number.

The total number of LDL particles in your blood, a more precise cardiovascular risk marker than LDL cholesterol mass alone.

The number of small, dense LDL particles, considered more likely to contribute to artery plaque than larger particles.

The average size of your LDL particles; smaller, denser particles are associated with higher cardiovascular risk.

The total number of HDL ("good" cholesterol) particles in your blood.

The number of large HDL particles, considered the most protective form of HDL.

The average size of your HDL particles.

The number of large VLDL particles, a type of triglyceride-carrying particle linked to cardiovascular risk.

The average size of your VLDL particles.

A protein found on LDL and other artery-clogging particles; considered a more accurate predictor of cardiovascular risk than LDL cholesterol alone because it reflects the actual number of atherogenic particles.

An amino acid that, at elevated levels, is linked to increased cardiovascular risk and often reflects a B-vitamin (B12/folate) deficiency.

The combined total of the three key omega-3 fatty acids in your blood, a summary marker of overall omega-3 status.

Eicosapentaenoic acid, an anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acid found in fish oil.

Docosahexaenoic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid essential for brain and eye health.

Docosapentaenoic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid that supports cardiovascular health.

The combined total of omega-6 fatty acids in your blood; important in moderation, but excess relative to omega-3 is linked to inflammation.

The combined total of omega-3 fatty acids in your blood, linked to reduced inflammation and cardiovascular risk.

The most common omega-6 fatty acid in the Western diet, a precursor to other omega-6 compounds.

An omega-6 fatty acid involved in inflammation signaling; balance with EPA is often used as an inflammation marker.

A calculated ratio comparing a pro-inflammatory omega-6 fatty acid to an anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acid, used as an inflammation balance marker.

A calculated ratio reflecting the balance between omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids in your diet; lower ratios are generally associated with less inflammation.

Produced by the pituitary gland to regulate thyroid hormone production; the standard first-line test for thyroid function.

The unbound, usable form of thyroxine, the main hormone produced by the thyroid gland that the body converts into active T3.

The active, unbound form of triiodothyronine, the thyroid hormone that most directly drives metabolism at the cellular level.

A sensitive marker of low-grade inflammation in the body, widely used to assess cardiovascular risk beyond cholesterol alone.

The storage form of vitamin D measured in blood tests; essential for bone health, immune function, and mood regulation, and one of the most common nutrient deficiencies.

Reflects your body's stored iron levels; low levels indicate iron deficiency, while high levels can signal inflammation or iron overload.

The overall amount of testosterone in your blood, both bound and unbound.

The small fraction of testosterone not bound to proteins, considered the biologically active portion.

A calculated estimate of testosterone that's either free or loosely bound to albumin, representing what your body can actually use.

A protein that binds testosterone and estrogen in the blood; its level determines how much of those hormones are actually "free" and biologically active.

A protein produced by the prostate gland; used to screen for prostate enlargement, inflammation, or cancer risk in men.

A hormone produced by the adrenal glands that serves as a building block for testosterone and estrogen; levels help assess adrenal and hormonal health.

Regulates the menstrual cycle and sperm production; used to assess ovarian reserve, menopause status, and fertility.

Triggers ovulation in women and testosterone production in men; used alongside FSH to assess reproductive hormone function.

Measures magnesium stored inside red blood cells rather than in blood serum, giving a more accurate picture of your body's true magnesium status than a standard test.
