Women's Health Panel

Routine screenings are important the older you get. This test could be appropriated for you in case you experience:

• Decreased energy;
• Irregular heartbeat;
• Weight gain;
• You want to do a check-up on your health in order to improve your lifestyle. 

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)

Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland of the brain. TSH stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). These hormones regulate the body’s metabolism and functions like energy expenditure, cardiac function, muscle physiology and substrate turnover.

Cholesterol

Cholesterol helps your body to make hormones, vitamin D and bile to digest food. Although if levels are too high it can increase the risk of heart disease.

LDL Cholesterol

Commonly called bad cholesterol, some LDL is essential to your health. In high levels, LDL can cause fatty deposits to accumulate inside artery walls and potentially lead to atherosclerosis and heart disease.

HDL Cholesterol 

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is produced in your liver and is part of total cholesterol. It helps to remove bad cholesterol from the bloodstream and send it back to the liver. 

Total Triglycerides

Triglycerides are a type of lipid found in blood and part of the total cholesterol level. When you consume more calories compared to the ones you burn, the excess is converted into triglycerides and stored as fat.

Creatinine

Creatinine is a waste product that is generated by normal muscle breakdown. Creatinine passes in the bloodstream and passes out in urine. Creatinine can be higher levels in sportspeople than average people and it is an accurate marker for kidney function and also can help in diagnosing kidney disease. 

Urea

Urea is a waste product produced by the body when it breaks down proteins and passes out in urine. A high level of urea indicates that the kidneys may not function optimally or signs of dehydration. It is important to note that even if one of your kidneys is damaged, results can return normal since the other is perfectly working.

Acid Folic

Vitamin B9, or folic acid, is essential for good brain function and plays an important role in mental and emotional health. Helps in the production of DNA and RNA, and is especially important when cells and tissues are growing rapidly, such as in infancy, adolescence, and pregnancy. Folic acid also works closely with vitamin B12 to help make red blood cells and help iron work properly in the body.

Free Thyroxine (FT4)

Free thyroxine (FT4) is the biologically active form of thyroxine, a hormone produced in the thyroid gland to regulate your metabolism. FT4 is not bound to proteins and is available for use by the tissues of the body. Raised FT4 levels can indicate an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism), low FT4 levels can indicate an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism).
