Individual Biomarkers

Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) is an enzyme found mostly in the liver. Only small amounts are usually found in the blood. However, if the liver or your muscles are damaged an increased level of ALT will be released into the bloodstream. ALT can therefore be elevated due to excessive alcohol and also after strenuous exercise. To keep your liver healthy keep your alcohol intake within recommended guidelines and include nutrient dense sources of food such as wholegrains, fruit and vegetables in your diet.
Albumin (ALB) is a protein made in the liver which circulates in the blood. The amount of albumin in the blood is directly associated with liver function and nutritional health. Low levels are associated with problems in the liver or kidneys and is also linked to severe inflammation. A decreased level of albumin is also apparent when your body cannot absorb nutrients sufficiently, for example in low protein diets. Higher than normal levels can indicate dehydration. As albumin has a key role in the transportation of calcium it can also be used as a marker in the assessment of bone health.
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme found in several tissues including the liver, bone, kidney and bowel. High levels are most commonly associated with problems in the liver or bone. Levels of ALP can also increase when the body is healing fractures or during pregnancy. To ensure your levels are in the healthy range eat a healthy diet and keep alcohol intake within recommended guidelines. Try and balance your overall energy intake according to your body’s requirements and eat a high level of nutrient rich foods such as wholegrains, fruit and vegetables.
Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) is an enzyme found mostly in the liver and in smaller amounts in the heart and muscles. It is released into the bloodstream during an injury to the liver, heart and muscles and an abnormal level can be a sign of a problem with one of these organs.
Gamma GT (GGT) is an enzyme, which is predominantly found in the liver. GGT levels can increase if the liver is damaged or if there is a blockage obstructing the flow of bile. The GGT test is extremely sensitive and can be elevated due to many reasons including the consumption of alcohol or other drugs/medication. To keep levels within the healthy range limit your consumption of alcohol to within the recommended guidelines and eat a healthy balanced diet.
Globulin is a general term used to describe more than 60 proteins found in the blood. If globulins are not within the correct level this can impair the body’s ability to fight infection, clot or carry nutrients to the muscles. Low and high levels are associated with a wide range of health conditions including problems with the bowel, kidney or liver. To keep levels within the healthy range limit your consumption of alcohol to within the recommended guidelines and eat a healthy balanced diet.
Bilirubin is produced by the liver when breaking down red blood cells and only small amounts are normally present in the blood. Bilirubin levels increase if too many red blood cells are destroyed or if the liver cannot remove bilirubin from the blood fast enough which can result in jaundice. Raised levels of bilirubin can also be caused by a hereditary condition called Gilbert’s syndrome or through excessive alcohol. To keep your levels in the healthy range keep within the recommended guidelines for alcohol and ensure a good balanced diet rich is natural food sources rather than processed food.
Total protein test is a measurement of albumin and globulin in the blood. The level of total protein in the blood is associated with liver and kidney function as well as nutritional status. As total protein alone cannot specifically identify a problem, results are interpreted alongside other liver function tests. High protein levels can sometimes be caused by dehydration.
Creatinine is a waste product which is produced from creatine, a compound which has a major role in the production of energy needed for muscle contraction. The level of creatine produced will vary according to body size and muscle mass. Creatinine is removed from the body by the kidneys and released in urine. The levels of creatinine in blood is therefore a good indication of kidney function.
Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) which is a measure of how well the kidneys are doing their job of filtering out waste products from the blood.
Both urea and creatinine are good indicators of whether the kidneys are working properly. Urea is a waste product which is formed in the liver when protein is metabolised. It is released by the liver into the bloodstream and carried to the kidneys where it is expelled within urine. If the kidneys are not performing correctly the level of urea in the blood will rise. Urea can also rise 2-3 days after intense exercise due to muscle breakdown and if your body is dehydrated.
HDL (high-density lipoprotein) works as a scavenger, picking up and carrying away excess cholesterol in your arteries and transporting it to the liver where it can be eliminated. It is therefore known as ‘good cholesterol’ with higher levels being a positive health benefit. In general people with high HDL are at lower risk of heart disease. Those with low HDL are at a higher risk. The best way to increase your HDL is through exercise.
LDL (low-density lipoprotein) is known as bad cholesterol because it can transport more cholesterol around the body than needed, leading to a build up on the walls of arteries. The higher the levels of LDL the higher the risk of developing heart disease. By lowering your LDL levels you can decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease. You can reduce your LDL by increasing the amount of unsaturated fat in your body by eating foods such as avocado or nuts & seeds.
Total cholesterol is a value made up of the different cholesterol components – HDL, LDL and triglycerides. High total cholesterol can indicate an increased risk of heart disease. However, having a high total cholesterol doesn’t always mean that you are at an increased risk of heart disease. It is therefore important to look at each individual component. For example, total cholesterol levels can be high due to a high level of HDL or good cholesterol which actually lowers the risk of heart disease.
High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) is a form of cholesterol which is considered ‘good’ cholesterol because it helps remove cholesterol from the heart’s arteries.
Triglyceride is the main form of fat found within our bodies. It is important for maintaining energy and provides the fuel for muscles to work. When you eat, excess calories which your body doesn’t need are converted into triglycerides. High levels can increase the risk of heart disease and pancreatitis. By lowering your triglycerides you can reduce the risk of heart disease. Triglyceride results can sometimes be raised if you’ve eaten before doing your blood test. If raised we recommend you repeat the test using a fasting blood sample i.e. first thing in the morning before food.
A 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 tissues throughout the body whereas white blood cells contribute to the immune system and protect the body from bacteria and viruses. FBC testing is used to screen for disorders like anaemia and for infections.
The amount of ferritin in the blood reflects the total level of iron stored within your body. Ferritin levels can be raised due to inflammation. Very high levels of ferritin indicate a large build up of iron in the body which can be due to a hereditary condition called haemochromatosis. Low ferritin levels are often caused by iron deficiency which can lead to anaemia and the production of small red blood cells. The best source of iron comes from red meat which ideally should be eaten at least once a week. For those following a vegetarian or vegan diet good plant sources include green leafy vegetables, seeds, beans and dried fruit.
Iron is essential for the production of healthy red blood cells, specifically haemoglobin which transports oxygen around the body. Low levels of iron will result in fatigue and eventually lead to iron deficiency anaemia. There can be a number of reasons for iron deficiency including a poor diet or poor absorption, the latter of which can be caused by intensive exercise. The best source of iron is red meat, therefore people following a vegetarian or vegan diet can find it hard to absorb sufficient amounts.
Total iron binding capacity (TIBC) results reflect the amount of iron in the body and should be viewed alongside iron and ferritin measurements. Typically TIBC levels will be high and iron levels low if you are iron deficient. Conversely, your TIBC level will be low and your iron level high if you have too much iron. It is important to maintain normal levels to prevent fatigue.
Transferrin is an iron-binding protein that is produced by the liver. It is used to transport iron which transports oxygen in the blood. Transferrin tests are used to determine iron status and can be used to diagnose anaemia.
Iron is used for the transportation of oxygen in the blood. Total Unsaturated Iron Binding Capacity (UIBC) tests are used to monitor treatments for iron toxicity.
C-reactive protein (crp) measures the amount of inflammation in your body. High levels are associated with an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease and stroke. However, as CRP is a marker for general inflammation, it cannot identify the source of inflammation. Levels may also be raised due to a number of reasons including recent infections (especially bacterial), intense bursts of exercise or conditions such as arthritis. As CRP levels can fluctuate significantly, regular testing is recommended to establish a trend.
Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is formed from glucose and haemoglobin. The amount of HbA1c is directly correlated to the amount of glucose in your bloodstream and provides an average picture of glucose levels over the last 2-3 months. It is therefore considered one of the best indicators for pre-diabetes and is also used by people with diabetes to keep their levels in control. If you are not a known diabetic and your levels are above the normal range, we always strongly recommend you see your GP.
Creatine Kinase (CK) is an enzyme found mainly in the brain, skeletal muscles and heart. It has an important role to play in energy production and muscle contraction. When muscles are damaged CK leaks into the blood stream. Levels can therefore become raised due to injury or stress to muscle tissue particularly after exercise but should return to normal after a recovery period.
There is more calcium in the body than any other mineral. It has several important functions including helping to build and maintain strong bones and teeth, regulating muscle contractions and ensuring the blood clots normally. Because the majority of measured calcium is bound to proteins your corrected calcium result should be used for interpretation. You can improve your calcium levels through foods such as milk, cheese and green leafy vegetables such as broccoli and cabbage.
Adjusted Calcium is also known as the corrected calcium because it factors in how much calcium is active and how much is inactive in the blood. Calcium tests are used to diagnose and monitor different conditions correlating to the bone, heart and kidneys.
Uric acid or urate is a chemical compound which is produced when the body breaks down certain foods which contain purines. Most uric acid is removed from the body by the kidneys. Too much uric acid in the blood can lead to the formation of solid crystals in the joints – a condition known as gout, a form of inflammatory arthritis. High levels can also lead to the formation of kidney stones.
A thyroxine (T4) test is used to check that the thyroid is performing properly. Thyroid hormones, such as thyroxine have a role to play in a wide range of the body’s functions including the maintenance of healthy bones and muscle control. An overactive thyroid can cause too much thyroxine to be released into the bloodstream, whilst an underactive thyroid can lead to too little thyroxine being produced. Both conditions can lead to weight gain and fatigue as well as our symptoms.
Thyroid Stimulated Hormone (TSH) plays an important role in regulating the production of hormones by the thyroid gland. High levels of TSH can indicate an underactive thyroid which can lead to fatigue and weight gain, whilst low levels are often associated with an overactive thyroid which can cause mood swings and difficulty in sleeping. Foods which contain the B vitamin group can play a large role in ensuring optimal thyroid function.
Luteinising hormone (LH) plays a key role in the human reproductive system. In men, LH aids the production of testosterone to support sperm production, whilst in women, it plays a key role in ovulation. High or low levels of luteinising hormone are associated with problems with fertility and irregular periods. As women enter the menopause levels of LH will naturally rise, whilst levels in adult males tend to stay relatively constant throughout their lives.
Oestradiol is the main form of oestrogen in women and levels will naturally reduce with age and decrease during the peri-menopausal stage, with a large decrease occurring at the start of menopause when the ovaries stop producing eggs. For example post-menopause women can expect their levels to fall below 100 IU/L. Low levels can cause mood swings, fatigue and a decrease in bone density leading to an increased risk of osteoporosis.
Vitamin D plays an essential role in our health including the development and preservation of healthy bones, boosting our immune system, muscle function, energy levels and helping to reduce inflammation. Most of the body’s vitamin D is produced in the skin following exposure to sunlight, so people living in the UK are more prone to be deficient in this vital vitamin. Levels >75nmol/L are recommended for optimal health, or >90nmol/L for athletes. As it is difficult to increase levels of vitamin D through diet alone, supplements are usually required.
Vitamin B12 is absorbed by the body through diet and is often measured alongside folate. Like folate it has an important role to play in the production of healthy red blood cells but also has a function in nerve health. Both vitamin B12 and folate should be kept within the normal range to avoid different forms of anaemia and therefore to keep energy levels at normal levels. Deficiencies in B12 can lead to anaemia.
Folate (Vitamin B9) is not produced by the body but is supplied through diet. It plays an important role in the formation of healthy red blood cells as well as the repair of tissues. The folate test is useful in the evaluation of anaemia. Low levels may indicate a degree of deficiency.
Zinc is an essential mineral and is needed for the many metabolic processes in the body. Testing for zinc level evaluates for deficiency. Zinc deficiency can lead to various health issues, including impaired growth, weakened supplementation and ensures appropriate dosages. Zinc supplementation may be useful for individualsimmune function, and delayed wound healing. Testing helps identify individuals who may benefit from zinc evaluates for deficiency. Zinc deficiency can lead to various health issues, including impaired growth, weakened immune function, and delayed wound healing. Testing helps identify individuals who may benefit from zinc
Magnesium is an essential trace element and is important to maintaining good health. It performs a wide range of functions including maintenance of strong bones, keeping blood pressure normal, muscle contraction and energy production. Magnesium is supplied to the body through diet. Low magnesium in-take can affect calcium levels. Good sources of magnesium include vegetables such as broccoli and nuts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Placing an order

You should choose the test that is right for your needs, symptoms, and health concerns. Details of the health biomarkers included in each test can be found on the test pages on our website. If you want an all-round health test, we recommend the Well Woman or Well Man tests which provide the widest range of biomarkers and the best value to check numerous areas of your health.

We offer a range of test solutions to suit your needs. Some of our tests require a tiny blood sample, and so can be taken at home using a finger-prick lancet and then sent to the laboratory.

Other tests require a larger volume of blood to check for more biomarkers. These need to be obtained via a blood sample taken from your vein by a professional, trained clinician, in our clinic location. The samples are then sent to a laboratory for thorough testing.

If your sample has to be tested at the laboratory, we will provide a pre-paid return address envelope so you can post your sample to our partnered laboratory on the same day the test is completed. Your results will be emailed to you within 3-5 working days of sample received at their site.
