Essential Longevity Check

Total: 37 Values

General Endurance | 2 Values

CBC (Complete Blood Count): A complete blood count is a standard medical test providing crucial details about your blood. It helps detect and monitor conditions such as anemia, infections, blood clotting disorders, and other health issues.

RDW (Red Cell Distribution Width): RDW measures the variation in the size of your red blood cells. High values may indicate anemia, vitamin deficiencies, bone marrow problems, or inflammation and may also signal an increased risk of heart disease. This test helps doctors better understand and monitor these health issues.

Inflammation | 5 Values

CRP (C-Reactive Protein): CRP is produced by the liver in response to inflammation, infections, or tissue damage. Elevated levels indicate inflammation in the body.

Vitamin D: Vitamin D aids in the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, essential for strong bones. It also supports the immune system and regulates hormones.

CRP: CRP serves as a marker for inflammation in the body. High levels suggest chronic low-grade inflammation, often associated with cardiovascular diseases.

FIBR (Fibrinogen): Fibrinogen is a protein in the blood that aids in clotting. High levels may indicate an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases.

IL-6: IL-6 is a signaling molecule produced by immune cells. Elevated levels can indicate chronic inflammation and diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, and cardiovascular conditions.

Longevity Biomarker | 1 Value

CYSTA (Cystatin C): Cystatin C is a marker indicating kidney function. It is considered more accurate than the commonly used creatinine test. Research suggests that certain levels of Cystatin C are associated with longer life expectancy. However, higher Cystatin C levels can also be linked to an increased risk of cancer-related mortality.

Reovery/Elektrolyte | 5 Werte

NA (Sodium/Natrium): Sodium helps regulate water balance and the function of nerves and muscles. Abnormal levels can indicate dehydration, overhydration, or swelling.

K (Potassium/Kalium): Potassium supports cellular metabolism and the function of muscles and nerves. Abnormal levels may suggest kidney issues, high blood pressure, heart rhythm disorders, or muscle problems.

CA (Calcium/Kalzium): Calcium is crucial for bones, nerves, muscles, and blood clotting. Abnormal levels can indicate problems with bones, kidneys, parathyroid glands, or nutrient absorption.

PHOS (Phosphate/Phosphat): Phosphate is vital for healthy bones and teeth. Low levels may indicate malnutrition or certain diseases, while high levels can suggest kidney problems or underactive parathyroid glands.

MG (Magnesium): Magnesium is important for heart, muscle, nerve function, bones, and blood sugar regulation. Analyzing magnesium levels helps identify deficiencies and monitor chronic conditions.

Detoxification | 7 Values

ALAT (Alanine Aminotransferase): ALAT is an enzyme indicating liver function. High levels may suggest liver damage or diseases such as hepatitis or fatty liver, and help monitor how the body processes medications and toxins.

ASAT (Aspartate Aminotransferase): ASAT is an enzyme found in the liver, heart muscle, and skeletal muscles. Elevated ASAT levels can indicate heart issues like a heart attack or muscle injuries.

GGT (Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase): GGT is an enzyme primarily in the liver. High GGT levels can signal liver problems or inflammation of the bile ducts, and may also indicate an increased risk for type 2 diabetes.

BILIG (Bilirubin): Bilirubin is a yellow pigment produced from the breakdown of red blood cells and processed by the liver. Elevated levels can suggest liver or bile duct issues.

EIWE (Total Protein): The total protein test measures the balance between two types of proteins in the blood and can help diagnose liver and kidney diseases, nutrient deficiencies, and immune disorders.

HST (Urea/Harnstoff): Urea is a byproduct of protein metabolism. Its levels help monitor kidney and liver function, fluid balance, and protein intake.

HSR (Uric Acid/Harnsäure): Uric acid is a byproduct of purine breakdown from foods like organ meats and certain seafood. Elevated levels can lead to gout and other health issues.

Metabolic Health | 2 Values

HOMA (Homeostasis Model Assessment): HOMA assesses how well the body uses insulin and the function of insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. It can detect early signs of insulin resistance before type 2 diabetes develops.

HbA1c (Hemoglobin A1c): HbA1c measures the percentage of hemoglobin in red blood cells coated with sugar, reflecting average blood sugar levels over the past two to three months, rather than just the current blood sugar level.

Hematological Health | 3 Values

FERR: Ferritin is a protein that stores and regulates iron. It helps maintain the body's iron balance, which is crucial for red blood cell formation and oxygen transport. Ferritin levels in the blood provide insight into iron stores and can aid in diagnosing anemia, hemochromatosis, inflammation, and nutrient deficiencies.

TRASAE: Transferrin saturation shows the percentage of transferrin (a protein that transports iron in the blood) that is saturated with iron. This measurement helps assess iron metabolism and can provide information about conditions such as iron deficiency or iron overload.

FE: Iron is a vital mineral for the formation of hemoglobin in red blood cells, which is essential for oxygen transport. Measuring iron levels in the blood can help identify and monitor conditions such as iron deficiency, iron deficiency anemia, and iron overload disorders.

Hormones | 4 Values

TSH: TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) is a hormone from the brain that regulates the thyroid gland. A TSH test is performed when thyroid issues are suspected, such as fatigue or weight fluctuations.

FT3: An FT3 test measures the hormone T3, produced by the thyroid gland, which affects metabolism and energy levels.

TESTFR: A free testosterone test assesses your testosterone levels. Low levels can lead to reduced libido and fatigue, while high levels might indicate conditions like PCOS or tumors.

SHBG: SHBG (Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin) is a protein that binds sex hormones such as testosterone and estrogen. It helps regulate the levels of available hormones in the body.

Cardiovascular Health | 5 Values

LIPOA: Lp(a) is a cholesterol-like lipoprotein. High Lp(a) levels in the blood increase the risk of heart disease and heart attacks. These levels can be genetically determined.

APOB: ApoB is a protein that transports fats in the blood. High ApoB levels are associated with an increased risk of atherosclerosis and heart disease.

LDL: LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein), often referred to as "bad cholesterol," transports cholesterol in the blood. Excess LDL can cause fat buildup in the arteries and increase the risk of heart disease.

HDL: HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein), known as "good cholesterol," carries cholesterol to the liver, where it is excreted. High HDL levels are beneficial for heart health.

TG: Triglycerides are a type of fat in the blood. High triglyceride levels can increase the risk of heart disease and other health problems.

Nutritional Status | 3 Values

FOLE: Folate, also known as Vitamin B9, is important for the formation of DNA, RNA, and red blood cells. A folate test measures folate levels in the cells. It is often used to assess nutritional status, diagnose anemias, or monitor pregnant women to prevent birth defects.

VITB12: Vitamin B12, or Cobalamin, is crucial for many bodily functions. A deficiency can lead to anemia, nerve damage, and other health issues. This can be addressed through diet, supplements, or injections.

SELEB: Selenium is an essential nutrient that protects cells and supports the immune system. A selenium test is often performed to check for deficiencies or excessive intake. Low selenium levels can cause weakness and fatigue, while high levels can lead to hair loss and gastrointestinal issues.
