Individual tests

This test determines whether or not you have adequate apo A-I levels, diagnosing specific apo A deficiency and helping assess your risk of developing coronary heart disease.
Apolipoprotein B (or Apo B, for short) is a protein that helps carry fat and cholesterol through your body. Your body needs fat and cholesterol to produce hormones and keep cells healthy. As they don't dissolve well in the blood, they may cause plaque buildup in your blood vessels, possibly leading to heart disease.
T3 is one of two major hormones from your thyroid that regulates how your body uses energy. It's also important in controlling your weight, body temperature, muscle strength, and nervous system. This test measures free circulating T3, excluding that bound to carrier proteins. It aids diagnosis of, or following the treatment for, hyperthyroidism.
Free T4 is the active form of the thyroxine hormone that enters your tissues where needed. Your thyroid, which controls how your body uses energy, produces thyroxine. These hormones affect your weight, heart, body temperature, muscle strength, and mood. A T4 test checks how well your thyroid is working.
HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol is seen as “good” cholesterol because it helps absorb cholesterol in the blood and carries it back to the liver. The liver then flushes it from the body. High HDL cholesterol levels mean you have a lower risk of heart disease and stroke.
LDL stands for low-density lipoproteins. It is sometimes called "bad" cholesterol because high levels cause a buildup in your arteries. Over time, the plaque hardens, narrowing your arteries. This limits the flow of oxygen-rich blood, which is why a high level of LDL cholesterol is a risk factor for vascular and heart diseases.
Your body has four main lipids: cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, and triglycerides. HDL is good cholesterol because it helps absorb cholesterol in the blood and carries it back to the liver, while the rest are bad cholesterol. These tests help better understand your risk for heart disease, stroke, and other problems from narrowed or blocked arteries.
Your body has four types of lipids: cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, and triglycerides. HDL is good cholesterol because it helps absorb cholesterol in the blood and carries it back to the liver, while the other types are considered bad cholesterol. These tests help you and your healthcare provider better understand your risk of heart disease, stroke, and other problems caused by narrowed or blocked arteries.
T3 is one of two major hormones made by your thyroid, a small gland located near the throat. It helps regulate your energy use, weight, body temperature, muscle strength, and nervous system. This test helps diagnose, assess and monitor thyroid disorders, such as an overactive or underactive thyroid gland and aids diagnoses of pituitary gland disorders.
Thyroxine (T4) is a thyroid hormone affecting your weight, heart, body temperature, and muscle strength. A T4 test can check how well your thyroid is working. It also helps diagnose and monitor thyroid disease and conditions like an underactive or overactive thyroid.
Thyroglobulin is a thyroid protein. This test is mostly used to monitor, but not to diagnose, patients with well-differentiated thyroid cancers. The measurement of thyroglobulin after thyroidectomy and ablation of the thyroid gland is useful for determining metastasis. It may also help diagnose hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, which are common non-cancer thyroid conditions.
Thyroglobulin is a protein that your thyroid produces. Antithyroglobulin antibodies can indicate thyroid gland damage caused by the immune system. They may be measured in suspected cases of thyroid inflammation. Measuring thyroglobulin antibody levels after thyroid cancer treatment can help your provider monitor recurrence.
Cholesterol is a substance found throughout the body. Your body needs some cholesterol to work properly, but too much will block your arteries and lead to heart disease and stroke.
