A total cholesterol blood test measures the overall amount of cholesterol in your blood, including both HDL and LDL cholesterol. 

Commonly known as ‘bad’ cholesterol, LDL is a fat that circulates in the blood, moving cholesterol around the blood stream.

Commonly known as ‘good’ cholesterol, HDL carries LDL (bad) cholesterol away from the arteries and back to the liver.

A type of fat that is the most common type of fat in the blood, used by the body for energy.

Apo A1 is a major component of HDL cholesterol and is involved in removing excess cholesterol from the body. 

ApoB is a protein essential for carrying cholesterol and other fats throughout your body – with high levels are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and LDL.

ApoC-II is a protein involved in the breakdown of fats (triglycerides) in the bloodstream.

Apo C-III is an important protein involved in triglyceride metabolism, Elevated levels are linked to increased risk of cardiovascular disease

Apolipoprotein E is a protein involved in the breakdown of fats. ApoE test can help identify the role of genetic factors in cardiovascular disease.

This test measures the different subfractions of lipids, such as low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL).

Lipoprotein (a) helps carry cholesterol through your bloodstream to your cells. High Lp(a) levels are associated with increased risk of atherosclerosis (plaque buildup in arteries), heart attacks, and strokes.

The high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) test is a blood test that finds lower levels of C-reactive protein (CRP). Hs-CRP tests can help identify more cardiovascular issues and chronic inflammation over the long term.

C-reactive protein is a protein produced by the liver, concentrations rise in response to inflammation. A high or increasing amount of CRP in your blood can suggest that you have an acute infection or inflammation.

A blood glucose test is used to find out if your blood sugar levels are in a healthy range. It can be used to help diagnose and monitor diabetes.

An HbA1c blood test, also known as a glycated hemoglobin test, is a blood test that measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. 

Insulin is a hormone that your pancreas makes. It helps move blood glucose (blood sugar) from your bloodstream into your cells where it’s used for energy. Testing measures the amount of insulin, the hormone that lets cells take in glucose.

C-peptide is a substance produced by the pancreas at the same time as insulin, and it helps assess how much insulin your body is producing naturally.
