Health Screening Tests

Lp(a) or Lipoprotein (a): Measures the amount of lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a), in the blood. It is a type of cholesterol that runs in families. Elevated levels of Lp(a) can increase the risk of heart disease, heart attack, and stroke.

LDL: Measures the amount of low-density lipoprotein in the blood. LDL is sometimes referred to as “bad” cholesterol because it can build-up in the arteries. Unhealthy levels of LDL cholesterol may increase a person’s risk of heart disease. *

VLDL: Measures the amount of very low-density lipoprotein in the blood. VLDL primarily carries triglycerides. High levels of VLDL can contribute to the buildup of plaque in the arteries. *

HDL: Measures the amount of high-density lipoprotein in the blood. HDL is thought of as the “good” cholesterol because it carries bad cholesterol away from the arteries where it can be removed from the body.

Total Cholesterol: Measures the total cholesterol in the blood. This includes both LDL “bad” and HDL “good” cholesterol.

Triglycerides: Measures the amount of triglyceride, a type of fat (lipid) in the blood. Elevated levels of triglycerides are linked with increased risk of heart disease. *

A1c or Hemoglobin A1c: Measures the average blood sugar levels in your body over the past 2-3 months. It is commonly used to diagnose and monitor diabetes.

hsCRP: Measures the level of inflammation in your body. Even low levels of inflammation, which you might not feel, can increase your risk of heart disease.

Creatinine: Measures the amount of creatinine, which is a waste product that your kidneys filter out of your body. Elevated levels can indicate kidney problems.

eGFR: The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is an indicator of kidney function, reflecting how efficiently the kidneys filter waste from the blood.

pTau or Phosphorylated Tau: Measures levels of a protein associated with Alzheimer's disease risk. Elevated pTau levels may indicate an increased likelihood of developing Alzheimer's years before symptoms appear.
