Individual tests

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.

Magnesium is a charged electrolyte mineral. It is responsible for many important bodily functions and processes, including ensuring your muscles, nerves, and heart work properly and controlling blood pressure and blood sugar.
Phosphorus is the second most abundant mineral in the body. It is primarily found in bones and teeth, playing a crucial role in their formation. A phosphorus deficiency may cause bone diseases, while an improper balance of phosphorus and calcium can lead to osteoporosis.
Potassium is an electrolyte that regulates your heartbeat and helps your muscles contract and nerves function. Too much potassium in your blood can damage your heart and lead to a heart attack. However, if the potassium in your blood is low, it can cause life-threatening complications, such as an irregular heartbeat or acute respiratory failure from muscle paralysis.
Sodium is an electrolyte that your body needs to function. It helps to regulate the nerves and muscles and maintains the right balance of fluids in your body. High sodium levels can lead to high blood pressure and other health problems, while low sodium levels may cause seizures, coma, and even death.
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.
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.
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.
Triglycerides are a common type of fat that comes from food and consuming extra calories. Your body changes these excess calories into triglycerides and stores them in fat cells. When your body needs energy, it releases triglycerides. Very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol particles carry the triglycerides to your tissues. Having a high level of triglycerides can raise your risk of heart disease.
TSH stands for thyroid stimulating hormone. The thyroid is a small gland in the front of your neck, controlled by the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland makes TSH to control the production of thyroid hormones. When the thyroid hormone levels in your blood are too low, your pituitary gland produces larger amounts of TSH to tell your thyroid to work harder.
The TRAb or TSH receptor antibody measures the ability of antibodies to inhibit TSH binding to their receptor. TSH is a pituitary gland hormone that stimulates the thyroid hormone's release into the blood. Measurement of TRAb is used to diagnose and manage Graves' disease, neonatal hypothyroidism, and postpartum thyroid dysfunction.
