- Neutrophils (Absolute & %)A type of white blood cell involved in acute infection response.
- Hematocrit Percentage of blood volume made up by red blood cells.
- MPV (Mean Platelet Volume)Shows the average size of platelets—larger ones are often more active.

Globulin A group of proteins involved in immune function and inflammation.
-
Total Protein The sum of all proteins in the blood, including albumin and globulin.
-
Calcium A mineral critical for bone strength, nerve transmission, and muscle contraction.
-
BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen)A waste product filtered by the kidneys, used to evaluate kidney function.
-
Sodium An essential electrolyte that affects hydration, nerve function, and blood pressure.
-
Potassium A key mineral for nerve signaling, muscle contraction, and heart rhythm.
Thyroid Function
- Free T3 (Triiodothyronine)Assesses the active thyroid hormone that directly affects cellular metabolism and energy production.
- TSH Measures levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone, which regulates the production of hormones by the thyroid gland.
- Free T4 (Thyroxine)Measures the active, unbound form of T4, a major hormone involved in metabolism and energy.
Hormones (Reproductive & Anabolic)
-
Testosterone, Total (LC/MS)Measures the total testosterone in the blood using gold-standard liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC/MS), ensuring high accuracy even at low levels.
-
Prolactin A pituitary hormone that can influence libido, fertility, and hormonal balance in both men and women.
-
Free Testosterone (Equilibrium Dialysis)Assesses the biologically active portion of testosterone using equilibrium dialysis, the most accurate method for measuring unbound hormone.
-
Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)A pituitary hormone that stimulates sperm production and supports testicular function in men.
-
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG)A protein that binds sex hormones like testosterone and regulates their bioavailability.
-
DHEA-SA precursor hormone produced by the adrenal glands, supporting testosterone and estrogen production.
-
Luteinizing Hormone (LH)A hormone released by the pituitary gland that signals the testes to produce testosterone and plays a key role in regulating the reproductive axis.
-
Estradiol This test measures the primary form of estrogen in the body, which plays a key role in hormone balance, libido, bone health in both men and women.
-
IGF-1A liver-produced hormone regulated by growth hormone, reflecting muscle building and recovery potential.
Male-Specific Health
- PSA Total (with Reflex to Free)A screening marker for prostate health, used to detect inflammation, enlargement, or cancer
Neurosteroids
-
DHEA-SA precursor hormone produced by the adrenal glands, supporting testosterone and estrogen production.
Liver Function
