🦴 1. Calcium

• Essential for bone health, nerve transmission, muscle contraction
• Imbalance may signal parathyroid, kidney, or vitamin D issues

🧪 2. Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP)

• Enzyme linked to liver, bone, and bile duct function
• Elevated in bone disorders or bile duct obstruction

🔥 3. High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP)

• Detects low-grade inflammation, strongly linked to cardiovascular risk
• More sensitive than standard CRP; useful in heart disease prevention

🫀 4. Lipoprotein A [Lp(a)]

• Genetic marker of heart disease and stroke risk
• Elevated Lp(a) = higher risk even if cholesterol is normal
• Not modifiable by lifestyle; useful for risk stratification

🧪 5. SGOT (AST)

🧪 6. SGPT (ALT)

• Key liver enzymes
• Elevated in liver inflammation, fatty liver, alcohol damage, hepatitis

🧬 7. Uric Acid

• Elevated in gout, kidney stones, or metabolic syndrome
• Can also signal impaired kidney excretion

⚡ 8. Homocysteine

• Amino acid that, when elevated, raises risk of heart disease, stroke, blood clots
• Also linked to B12/folate deficiency

⚖️ 9. ApoB / ApoA1 Ratio

• Advanced lipid marker:
  • ApoB: carrier of bad cholesterol
  • ApoA1: carrier of good cholesterol
• High ApoB/A1 ratio = atherosclerosis risk
• Better indicator than just LDL

💧 10. BUN/Creatinine Ratio

• Differentiates dehydration vs kidney dysfunction
• Supports interpretation of kidney filtering capacity

🍺 11. GGT (Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase)

• Liver enzyme, elevated in:
  • Alcohol use
  • Bile duct obstruction
  • Drug toxicity

🧲 12. Iron Studies (3 Tests)

• Serum Iron – circulating iron
• TIBC – capacity to carry iron
• Transferrin Saturation – % of transferrin occupied by iron
• Evaluates iron deficiency anemia or overload

🧪 13. Serum Bilirubin (Total & Direct)

• Measures bile pigment levels
• Elevated in jaundice, liver dysfunction, or bile flow blockages

🫀 14. Lipid Profile (8 Parameters)

• Assesses cholesterol and fat levels:
  • Total Cholesterol
  • HDL (Good), LDL (Bad), VLDL
  • Triglycerides
  • Non-HDL
  • TC/HDL & LDL/HDL Ratios
• Identifies risk for atherosclerosis, heart attack, stroke

⚖️ 15. Total Protein, Albumin, Globulin, A/G Ratio

• Reflects:
  • Liver’s protein-making capacity
  • Immune response (globulins)
  • Nutritional status

🦋 16. Free TFT (Free T3, Free T4, TSH)

• Provides an active thyroid function snapshot
• Free T3 & T4 show how much hormone is usable
• TSH is the controller hormone
• Detects hypo- or hyperthyroidism

🍬 17. HbA1c (Whole Blood)

• Tracks average glucose over past 2–3 months
• Best test to monitor diabetes and long-term sugar control

🩸 18. CBC – Complete Blood Count (28 Parameters)

• Evaluates:
  • Anemia
  • Infection
  • Clotting disorders
• Includes: RBC, WBC, Hemoglobin, Hematocrit, Platelets, and all indices
