Advanced Organ Health & Immune Profile

A liver enzyme that leaks into the blood when liver cells are stressed. Mildly raised ALT is common after heavy training, recent alcohol, certain medications, or fatty changes in the liver. Persistently high ALT is worth discussing with a GP.

An enzyme that leaks into your blood when liver cells are stressed or damaged. Often looked at alongside ALT to give a clearer picture of liver health. Heavy exercise can also raise it temporarily.

An enzyme involved in both liver and bone activity. Levels naturally vary with age (higher in growing teens, post-fracture healing) and during pregnancy, as well as with liver function.

The combined amount of albumin and globulin in your blood. It's a broad picture of protein status, used together with albumin and globulin to spot imbalances.

The most abundant protein made by your liver. It transports hormones and nutrients around the body and helps regulate fluid balance. Low albumin can reflect liver, kidney, gut or nutritional factors.

A yellow pigment made when old red blood cells are broken down. Slightly raised bilirubin is often a harmless inherited pattern (Gilbert's syndrome); larger elevations can reflect liver or red blood cell processes.

A liver enzyme particularly sensitive to alcohol intake and certain medications. Useful for understanding the source when other liver markers are raised.

Proteins that play a major role in immunity, clotting and transport. Calculated by subtracting albumin from total protein. Patterns here can signal immune or inflammatory activity.

Your immune system's army. Numbers rise temporarily during infections, after intense exercise or in response to stress. Persistently raised or low counts are worth a closer look.

How much your red blood cells vary in size. A higher RDW can be an early signal of mixed nutritional deficiencies, even before MCV moves out of range.

The cells that carry oxygen from your lungs around your body. Endurance athletes often sit slightly higher than average; pregnancy and certain conditions can lower them.

The average size of your red blood cells. Small cells can suggest iron deficiency; large cells can point to B12 or folate deficiency.

How densely packed haemoglobin is within your red blood cells. Provides extra detail when interpreting unusual full blood count patterns.

The average amount of haemoglobin inside each red blood cell. Read alongside MCV, it helps narrow down the type of any anaemia present.

The iron-containing protein inside red blood cells that actually binds and carries oxygen. Low haemoglobin (anaemia) commonly causes fatigue, breathlessness and pale skin.

The proportion of your blood that's made up of red blood cells, expressed as a percentage. A key indicator of hydration status as well as red cell health.

The largest antibody and your immune system's rapid first responder. It is the initial antibody produced to fight off a new infection, patrolling your bloodstream to quickly neutralise invading pathogens before long-term defences are fully established.

The most abundant antibody in your blood, acting as your immune system's long-term memory. It aggressively fights off bacterial and viral infections throughout your body and is the only antibody capable of crossing the placenta to provide early protection to a developing baby.

An antibody that protects the surfaces of your gut, airways, and saliva. It's your body's first line of defence against infections coming in through the mouth, nose, or digestive tract.

A measurement of the average size of your platelets. Newly produced platelets are typically larger, so this marker provides insight into how actively your bone marrow is manufacturing these crucial clotting cells to repair blood vessels.

An estimate of how efficiently your kidneys filter blood, calculated from your creatinine. Higher is generally better. It's the single most-used indicator of overall kidney functio n.

Another waste product cleared by the kidneys, this one from protein breakdown. It's affected by hydration, protein intake and kidney function.

A waste product your muscles produce that's filtered out by your kidneys. Levels can shift with muscle mass, hydration status and protein intake, so very muscular people often sit slightly higher than the population average.

A crucial mineral that acts as your body's fluid manager. It keeps the water levels inside and outside your cells perfectly balanced, whilst also playing a vital role in maintaining healthy blood pressure and ensuring your nerves and muscles communicate effectively.

An essential mineral that works closely with sodium to manage your body's fluid balance. It is crucial for keeping your cells properly hydrated, maintaining healthy blood pressure, and regulating the acidity (pH) of your blood.

A marker your liver releases when there's inflammation anywhere in the body. High CRP can reflect short-term inflammation (a recent illness, intense training, an injury) or longer-term, low-grade inflammation linked to lifestyle, sleep and stress.

A calculated measurement that reveals the true amount of active calcium in your blood by adjusting for your protein (albumin) levels. It is a vital mineral required for building strong bones, enabling muscle contractions, and ensuring healthy nerve signalling

The most abundant mineral in your body, essential for building and maintaining strong bones and teeth. It also plays a critical role in muscle contractions, nerve signalling, and blood clotting, ensuring your heart and muscles function smoothly.
