Individual tests

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.
Transferrin is the main protein in the blood that binds to iron and transports it throughout the body. It may be used along with other iron tests to assess the amount of iron circulating in the blood, the total capacity of the blood to transport iron, and the amount of stored iron in the body. The test may also help differentiate between various causes of anemia.
Vitamin B12 is essential in nervous system function and DNA and red blood cell production. Vitamin B12 tests help detect anemia with larger-than-normal red blood cells or problems with the nervous system, such as emotional changes or weakness.
Zinc is an important trace element that people need to stay healthy. Of the trace elements, ZInc is second only to iron in its concentration in the body. It is needed for the body's defensive (immune) system to work properly, for cell division, cell growth, wound healing, and the breakdown of carbohydrates.
