An HDL Cholesterol test measures the amount of cholesterol found inside high-density lipoproteins (HDL) in the blood.
A Total Cholesterol test is a measure of the total amount of cholesterol in your blood. It includes both low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. LDL (bad) cholesterol is the main source of cholesterol buildup and blockage in the arteries.
A Triglycerides test is a blood test that measures the amount of fat in your blood called triglycerides. High triglycerides may increase your risk for a heart attack or stroke. A triglycerides test can help you decide if you need to take action to lower your risk.
The A1C test is a blood test that measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 3 months. It’s one of the commonly used tests to diagnose prediabetes and diabetes, and is also the main test to help you and your health care team manage your diabetes. Higher A1C levels are linked to diabetes complications, so reaching and maintaining your individual A1C goal is really important if you have diabetes.
When sugar enters your bloodstream, it attaches to hemoglobin, a protein in your red blood cells. Everybody has some sugar attached to their hemoglobin, but people with higher blood sugar levels have more. The A1C test measures the percentage of your red blood cells that have sugar-coated hemoglobin.
To calculate your cholesterol ratio, we divide your total cholesterol number by your HDL cholesterol number.
The LDL test measures the amount of low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (bad cholesterol) in your blood.
Cholesterol ratio is a comparison of HDL (good) cholesterol to total cholesterol, indicating heart disease risk.
The VLDL test measures the amount of very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) in your blood. VLDL cholesterol is a type of blood fat. It’s considered one of the “bad” forms of cholesterol, along with LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. This is because high levels cholesterol can clog your arteries and lead to a heart attack.
High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) is a marker of inflammation that predicts the risk of heart attack, stroke, peripheral arterial disease, and sudden cardiac death among healthy individuals with no history of cardiovascular disease, and recurrent events and death in patients with acute or stable coronary syndromes. It is a non-specific, acute phase protein that the liver makes in response to inflammation in the body. It may become elevated due to certain chronic illnesses, medications, recent illnesses or when the body is fighting off an infection or inflammation due to excesses in diet and lifestyle.
TSH measures the amount of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in your blood. TSH is produced by the pituitary gland. It prompts the thyroid gland to make and release thyroid hormones into the blood.
An AST blood test measures the amount of AST in your blood. The test is commonly used to help diagnose liver damage or disease.
The Alanine Transaminase (ALT) test measures the amount of ALT in the blood. When liver cells are damaged, they release ALT into the bloodstream. High levels of ALT in your blood may be a sign of a liver injury or disease.
This is a blood test that measures the amount of a substance called bilirubin. This test is used to find the cause of health conditions like jaundice, anemia, and liver disease.
High or low bilirubin levels might indicate that some part of the process of breaking down and clearing old red blood cells isn’t working correctly. A small amount of bilirubin in your blood is normal, but a high level may be a sign of liver disease.
An albumin blood test measures the amount of albumin in your blood. Albumin is a protein made by your liver. Albumin enters your bloodstream and helps keep fluid from leaking out of your blood vessels into other tissues. It is also carries hormones, vitamins, and enzymes throughout your body. Without enough albumin, fluid can leak out of your blood and build up in your lungs, abdomen (belly), or other parts of your body.
HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, sometimes called “good” cholesterol, absorbs cholesterol in the blood and carries it back to the liver. The liver then flushes it from the body. High levels of HDL cholesterol can lower your risk for heart disease and stroke.
Most people don’t have symptoms because of the HDL level alone. They may not know they have low HDL levels until after a medical emergency, like a heart attack or stroke. Routine bloodwork helps monitor for any disease risks, like a low HDL level.
There are usually no symptoms of high cholesterol. A blood test is the only way to detect if you have it. But if left untreated, it can lead to heart attack and stroke. It’s often a hidden risk factor which means it can happen without us knowing until it’s too late.
There are usually no clear symptoms of high triglycerides which is why it is so important to have blood work done regularly to monitor these levels before they get out of hand. In cases of severely high triglyceride levels, an individual may experience chest pain, numbness, dizziness or confusion.
Extremely high blood triglyceride levels, greater than 1,500 mg/dL, may cause the body to stop breaking down fats, which is called multifactorial chylomicronemia syndrome . Symptoms include short-term memory loss, swelling of the liver and spleen, stomach pain, and reddening or flushing of the skin with alcohol use.
An A1C test may be used to screen for:
Type 2 diabetes. With type 2 diabetes your blood glucose gets too high because your body doesn’t make enough insulin to move blood sugar from your bloodstream into your cells, or because your cells stop responding to insulin.
Prediabetes. Prediabetes means that your blood glucose levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to diagnosed as diabetes. Lifestyle changes, such as healthy eating and exercise, may help delay or prevent prediabetes from becoming type 2 diabetes.
If you have diabetes or prediabetes, an A1C test can help monitor your condition and check how well you’ve been able to control your blood sugar levels.
Warning Signs and Symptoms of Diabetes:
Urinating often
Feeling very thirsty
Feeling very hungry—even though you are eating
Extreme fatigue
Blurry vision
Cuts/bruises that are slow to heal
Weight loss—even though you are eating more (type 1)
Tingling, pain, or numbness in the hands/feet (type 2)
This ratio is a comparison of the amount of total cholesterol and good cholesterol in your blood. There are usually no symptoms of high cholesterol. But if left untreated, it can lead to heart attack and stroke. It’s often a hidden risk factor which means it can happen without us knowing until it’s too late. That is why it’s so important to get your cholesterol level checked.
High LDL cholesterol levels can make you more likely to have problems including: Coronary artery disease. Peripheral artery disease. Heart disease, including chest pain (angina) and heart attack.
Symptoms of High LDL:
Hopelessness
Nervousness
Confusion
Agitation
Difficulty making a decision
Changes in your mood, sleep, or eating patterns
Most people do not have any symptoms when LDL/HDL cholesterol ratio is too high. When cholesterol levels are very high, however, it may cause yellow deposits to form in the hands and around the eyes. People may also get small bumps of the skin that contain cholesterol deposits.

If your VLDL levels are low, it generally indicates a positive health outcome. Lower levels of VLDL link with lower levels of triglycerides and LDL cholesterol, reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.
High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) is a marker of inflammation. It predicts incident myocardial infarction, stroke, peripheral arterial disease, and sudden cardiac death among healthy individuals with no history of cardiovascular disease, and recurrent events and death in patients with acute or stable coronary syndromes.
Hyperthyroidism (too much thyroid hormone) is also called overactive thyroid. Having more thyroid hormones than you need speeds up your body functions and causes symptoms that include:
Weight loss, even though you may be eating more than usual
Rapid or irregular heartbeat
Feeling nervous or irritable
Trouble sleeping, fatigue
Shaky hands, muscle weakness
Sweating or being very sensitive to heat
Frequent bowel movements (pooping a lot)
Goiter (enlarged thyroid)
Hypothyroidism (too little thyroid hormone) is also called underactive thyroid. Not having enough thyroid hormone slows down your body functions and causes symptoms that include:
Fatigue
Weight gain
Being very sensitive to cold
Joint and muscle pain
Dry skin
Dry, thinning hair
Heavy or irregular menstrual periods
Depression
Constipation
These may include:
Nausea and vomiting
Lack of appetite
Fatigue
Weakness
Jaundice, a condition that causes your skin and eyes to turn yellow
Swelling and/or pain in your abdomen (belly)
Swelling in your ankles and legs
Dark-colored urine (pee) and/or light-colored stool (poop)
ALT blood testing is done if you have symptoms of liver disease or damage, such as:
Stomach pain or swelling
Nausea
Vomiting
Yellow skin or eyes (a condition called jaundice)
Weakness
Extreme tiredness
Dark-colored urine
Light-colored poop
Bilirubin is a waste product of expired red blood cells. Normally, your body expels it through your intestines. On its way out, though, it may provide some benefits. Current studies suggest it may act as an antioxidant that helps protect against cardiovascular disease. However, too much can be toxic. If it builds up in your blood, it can make you feel ill. It can also irritate nerves under your skin, making it itch.
What are symptoms of high bilirubin?
High bilirubin leads to jaundice, a yellow cast to your skin and the whites of your eyes. Jaundice is often the first symptom that would prompt a healthcare provider to check your bilirubin levels. High bilirubin in your blood can also leak out in your pee, making it darker. If bilirubin isn’t coming out in your poop as it should, your poop might be lighter or clay-colored. Very high bilirubin can make you itch (pruritus).
High levels of bilirubin can cause a yellowing of your skin and eyes, a condition doctors call jaundice.
Symptoms of liver disease include:
Nausea and vomiting
Lack of appetite
Fatigue
Weakness
Jaundice, a condition that causes your skin and eyes to turn yellow
Swelling and/or pain in your abdomen (belly)
Swelling in your ankles and legs
Dark-colored urine (pee) and/or light-colored stool (poop)
Frequent itching
Symptoms of kidney disease include:
Swelling in the hands and feet or puffy eyelids
Dry skin, itching, or numbness
Fatigue
Increased or decreased urination
Urine that is bloody or foamy
Loss of appetite and weight loss
Muscle cramps
Nausea and vomiting
Shortness of breath
Sleep problems
Trouble thinking clearly
