Total TriglyceridesTriglycerides
Triglycerides are the main type of fat (or lipid) found in your blood. They are made from the breakdown of dietary fats and carbohydrates. Triglycerides are an important source of energy; however, high levels of triglycerides can increase your risk of heart disease.
Low-density Cholesterol (LDL)
LDL cholesterol refers to the cholesterol that is packaged within low-density lipoprotein particles. It is considered “bad” cholesterol because LDL deposits excess cholesterol in blood vessel walls, where it accumulates, leading to hardening of the arteries, atherosclerosis, and blood clots. LDL cholesterol levels are often considered the best predictor of your risk of heart disease.
High-density cholesterol (HDL)
HDL cholesterol is often considered “good” cholesterol. HDL cholesterol refers to the cholesterol packaged within high-density lipoprotein particles. HDL collects cholesterol from around the body and delivers it to the liver for recycling or removal. Elevated HDL levels are considered to offer protection from cardiovascular disease.
Cholesterol
Cholesterol is a waxy substance that is essential for cellular function. However, high levels of cholesterol can increase your risk of cardiovascular disease.
HbA1c
Hemoglobin is a protein found in red blood cells responsible for transporting oxygen. It can be bound by glucose to produce glycated hemoglobin or Hb1Ac. As the lifespan of a red blood cells is around 3 months, detecting the levels of Hb1Ac can give an indication of blood sugar levels in this timeframe.
CRP
The c-reactive protein (CRP) is released by the liver in response to inflammation, which can result from a wide range of conditions including infections, cancer and underlying inflammatory diseases. This test can be used to determine the presence of inflammation without having to identify the cause or location. Elevated CRP levels may be indicative of an active infection, such as a bacterial infection or a flare-up associated with a long-term inflammatory disease.
