Importance: Measures the absolute number of monocytes in the blood; elevated levels may indicate chronic infection or inflammation.
Importance: Measures the number of basophils; elevated levels can indicate allergic reactions or certain blood disorders.
Importance: Measures young red blood cells in the blood; used to assess bone marrow function and response to anemia.
Importance: Refers to the lifespan of reticulocytes in circulation; important for understanding erythropoiesis.
Importance: Assesses bone marrow response to anemia by comparing reticulocyte count with hemoglobin levels.
Importance: Refers to the average lifespan of red blood cells in circulation; typically around 120 days.
Importance: A protein that binds free hemoglobin; low levels can indicate hemolytic anemia.
Importance: Used to detect antibodies that are attached to red blood cells; important for diagnosing hemolytic anemia.
Importance: Measures the thickness and stickiness of blood; elevated viscosity can indicate various health conditions.
Importance: Tests various components in urine; used to assess kidney function and detect metabolic disorders.
Importance: Measures acidity or alkalinity of urine; helps diagnose kidney stones and urinary tract infections.
Importance: Assesses urine concentration; helps evaluate kidney function and hydration status.
Importance: Tests for autoimmune diseases; positive results may indicate conditions like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis.
Importance: Highly specific for rheumatoid arthritis; used to help diagnose and assess disease severity.
Importance: Measures the presence of rheumatoid factor in the blood; can help diagnose rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases.
Importance: Elevated levels can indicate lactic acidosis, often due to hypoxia or sepsis.
Importance: Important intermediate in metabolism; elevated levels can indicate metabolic disorders.
Importance: An antioxidant involved in energy production; low levels may indicate mitochondrial dysfunction.
Importance: Essential for fatty acid metabolism; low levels can lead to muscle weakness and energy issues.
Importance: A marker for blood clot formation and breakdown; used to rule out thrombotic conditions like deep vein thrombosis.
Importance: A protein essential for blood clotting; elevated levels can indicate inflammation or increased clotting risk.
Importance: Measures how long it takes for blood to clot; important for assessing coagulation status.
Importance: Standardized measure of PT; used to monitor anticoagulant therapy and assess bleeding risk.
Importance: Measures different types of antibodies in the blood, important for assessing immune function.
Importance: Measures total immunoglobulin E levels; elevated levels are associated with allergies and asthma.
Importance: Important for mucosal immunity; low levels can indicate immunodeficiency disorders.
Importance: The most abundant antibody type, crucial for long-term immunity; low levels may indicate increased infection risk.
Importance: The first antibody produced in response to an infection; useful for diagnosing acute infections.
Importance: A component of the complement system, involved in immune responses; low levels may indicate autoimmune diseases.
< strong > Importance: A component of the complement system that helps regulate immune function; low levels can suggest autoimmune disorders.
< strong > Importance: A hormone produced by osteoblasts involved in bone metabolism; high levels can indicate bone turnover.
< strong > Importance: A marker for heart failure; elevated levels indicate increased cardiac stress.
< strong > Importance: Refers to prostate-specific antigen (PSA); used to screen for prostate cancer.
< strong > Importance: A protein produced by prostate cells; elevated levels can indicate prostate cancer or other prostate conditions.
< strong > Importance: The unbound form of PSA; helps differentiate between benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer.
< strong > Importance: Indicates autonomic nervous system activity and cardiovascular health; lower variability is associated with higher risk.
< strong > Importance: Reflects cardiovascular fitness and overall heart health; lower resting heart rates are generally associated with better fitness.
< strong > Importance: Refers to factors that contribute to a longer lifespan, including genetic, lifestyle, and environmental influences.
