Blood Test Biomarkers

The Wellman blood test evaluates the following biomarkers:

Full Blood Count

  • Basophils: A white blood cell that plays a role in the body's immune response to allergies.
  • Eosinophils: A white blood cell that plays a role in the body's immune response to allergies and parasitic infections.
  • Haematocrit: The proportion of red blood cells in the blood can indicate whether a person is anaemic or dehydrated.
  • Haemoglobin: The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body.
  • Lymphocytes: A white blood cell that plays a key role in the body's immune system, fighting viral infections and cancers.
  • MCH: The average amount of haemoglobin in each red blood cell.
  • MCHC: The average concentration of haemoglobin in each red blood cell.
  • MCV: The average size of red blood cells, which can help diagnose specific types of anaemia.
  • Monocytes: A white blood cell that plays a role in the immune system by engulfing and digesting foreign particles, such as bacteria and viruses.
  • Neutrophils: A white blood cell that fights bacterial infections.
  • Platelet count: The total number of platelets in the blood responsible for clotting and preventing bleeding.
  • Red cell count: A count of red blood cells in the blood, indicating whether a person is anaemic.
  • White cell count: A count of the total number of white blood cells in the blood, which can indicate infection or inflammation in the body.

Heart health profile

  • HDL and LDL cholesterol: HDL (good) and LDL (bad) cholesterol are measured to assess cholesterol levels, and their ratios.
  • Triglycerides: a measure of the actual fat in your blood.
  • CRP-hs: a marker for inflammation in the body.
  • High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP): A biomarker used to measure inflammation levels in the body. It aids in assessing the risk of cardiovascular disease and provides valuable information for preventive strategies.

Kidney health

  • Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN): A measure of urea nitrogen in the blood. It helps assess kidney function and hydration status. The biomarker indicates BUN levels, aiding in diagnosing kidney and liver diseases, dehydration, and evaluating kidney function.
  • Creatinine: A waste product produced by muscles from creatine. It helps assess kidney function and muscle health. The biomarker indicates creatinine levels, aiding in detecting and monitoring kidney diseases and evaluating renal function.
  • Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR): A calculation of kidney function by measuring the rate at which the kidneys filter blood. The biomarker assesses renal function, helps diagnose and monitor kidney disease, and guides medication dosing.
  • Phosphorus: An essential mineral involved in energy production, DNA synthesis, and bone formation. The biomarker indicates phosphorus levels, assisting in diagnosing and monitoring conditions related to bone health, kidney function, and metabolic disorders.
  • Serum Calcium: By measuring calcium levels in the blood, the test helps assess bone health, nerve function, and muscle contraction. The biomarker indicates serum calcium levels, aiding in diagnosing calcium-related disorders, such as osteoporosis, kidney disease, and parathyroid disorders.
  • Serum Electrolytes: Minerals in the blood that help maintain fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle contraction. The biomarker indicates electrolyte levels (sodium, potassium, chloride) and aids in assessing hydration status and kidney function and identifying electrolyte imbalances.

Urinalysis

  • Bilirubin
  • Glucose
  • Ketones
  • Nitrite
  • pH
  • Protein
  • Red Blood Cells
  • Urobilinogen
  • White Blood Cells

Liver health profile

  • Albumin: A protein the liver produces that helps transport substances in the blood. Low levels can indicate liver damage or disease.
  • Bilirubin: A yellowish pigment produced during the breakdown of red blood cells. High levels can indicate liver disease or a blocked bile duct.
  • Gamma-GT (GGT): An enzyme in the liver that is elevated in people with liver disease, heavy drinkers, and those taking certain medications.
  • Liver enzymes: Proteins released by the liver during cellular processes. They help assess liver function and detect liver damage or diseases. The biomarker indicates levels of specific enzymes like ALT, AST, and ALP, aiding in diagnosing liver conditions and monitoring treatment response.
  • Ferritin: A ferritin test can diagnose or suggest:Iron deficiency anemia. A condition that causes the body to absorb too much iron from food, called hemochromatosis.

Diabetes

  • HbA1c: A form of haemoglobin chemically modified by binding glucose molecules. The HbA1c level can be expressed as a percentage of total haemoglobin.
  • Glucose: Vital energy source for the body. Raised glucose levels can indicate insulin resistance or poor diabetic control in an existing diabetic.

Metabolic Syndrome

  • HbA1c: A form of haemoglobin chemically modified by binding glucose molecules. The HbA1c level can be expressed as a percentage of total haemoglobin.
  • High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP): A biomarker used to measure inflammation levels in the body. It aids in assessing the risk of cardiovascular disease and provides valuable information for preventive strategies.

Nutritional Health

  • Albumin
  • Calcium
  • Folic acid
  • Vitamin B12
  • Vitamin D

Iron

  • Ferritin: A biomarker reflecting iron levels in the body. The test measures ferritin levels to diagnose iron deficiency or excess, monitor treatment, and evaluate conditions like anaemia and liver disease.

Bone Health

  • Alkaline phosphatase (ALP): An enzyme found in the liver and bone. Elevated levels can indicate liver disease or bone-related conditions.
  • Calcium: Essential mineral for bone health and bodily functions. Calcium test measures blood levels to assess bone health and nerve/muscle function and detect disorders.
  • Phosphate: An inorganic chemical compound containing phosphorus. It plays a crucial role in biological processes such as energy transfer, DNA synthesis, and cell signaling. The biomarker indicates phosphate levels and can help assess metabolic disorders and bone health.
  • Vitamin D: A vital fat-soluble vitamin that supports bone, muscle, and immune system health. Our bodies process Vitamin D when exposed to sunlight. We obtain vitamin D by consumption of specific foods and or supplements.

Infection and inflammation

  • C-Reactive Protein (CRP): Helps indicate the presence of infection or inflammation in the body.

Pituitary and Adrenal Health

  • Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH): A hormone that regulates the release of hormones from your thyroid. This test can check for hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism.

Thyroid Health

  • Triiodothyronine (FT3) is a thyroid hormone that regulates your body's energy. This test ensures that your body is processing your free thyroxine (T4) properly.
  • Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH): A hormone that regulates the release of hormones from your thyroid. This test can check for hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism.
  • Free thyroxine (FT4): The main hormone produced by your thyroid that regulates the energy your body uses. Free T4 measures the amount of T4 that's available for your body to use. This test can help check for hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism.
  • Ant-Tg test detects and measures the presence of anti-thyroglobulin antibodies. It helps diagnose autoimmune thyroid diseases and predict future thyroid dysfunction.
  • The Anti-TPO test measures the level of antibodies against thyroid peroxidase enzyme. It helps diagnose autoimmune thyroid diseases and predict future thyroid dysfunction.

Prostate Health

  • Total Prostate-Specific Antigen (TPSA): A protein produced by the prostate gland. The test measures PSA levels in the blood to screen for prostate cancer and monitor treatment effectiveness.
