Individual tests

Troponin-I is a protein found in your heart muscles. When these muscles become damaged, troponin is released into the bloodstream. High levels of troponin in the blood may mean you are having or recently had a heart attack. Quick diagnosis and treatment can save your life.
Troponin-T is a protein found in your heart muscles. When the muscles become damaged, troponin is sent into the bloodstream. High levels of troponin in the blood may mean you are having or recently had a heart attack which happens when blood flow to the heart gets blocked. This blockage can be deadly. However, quick diagnosis and treatment can save your life.
C-reactive protein (CRP) is a protein from your liver. Typically, you have low levels in your blood. The high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) test can detect CRP at lower levels than standard tests. This assesses heart disease and stroke risk in individuals suspected to be at risk of disease.
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a protein that helps regulate immune responses, which makes the IL-6 test potentially useful as a marker of immune system activation. This test may be used to help evaluate a person who has a condition associated with inflammation, such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or with infections like sepsis.
Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) is an enzyme which plays an important role in making your body's energy. It is found in almost all the body's tissue, including those in the blood, heart, kidneys, brain, and lungs. When these tissues are damaged, they release LDH into the bloodstream or other body fluids. If your LDH blood or fluid levels are high, it may mean certain tissues in your body have been damaged by disease or injury.
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.
Lipoprotein is a lipid and protein component found in the blood. It helps to transport the cholesterol through the blood to the cells. It is of two types high density lipoprotein (HDL) and the low density lipoprotein (LDL). Lipoprotein (a) is a type of LDL that carries the cholesterol to the cells in the arteries. High levels are associated with cardiovascular diseases.

NT-proBNP is produced by the heart. An elevated NT-proBNP suggests that the heart is not pumping enough blood, known as heart failure or congestive heart failure. The test is used to diagnose or rule out heart failure. In patients with heart failure, testing helps assess disease severity, make decisions, and evaluate treatment effectiveness.
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.
Antibodies are immune system proteins that fight foreign substances like viruses and bacteria. Sometimes antibodies attack the body's cells, tissues, and organs by mistake, known as an autoimmune response. When thyroid antibodies attack healthy thyroid cells, it can lead to Hashimoto's or autoimmune thyroiditis. This test measures the level of thyroid antibodies in your blood.
