The Health
Risk Analysis provides an overview of personal health risk based
on biological risk factors, normalized for age and sex, and medical history .
Risk factors are analyzed for cardiovascular, diabetes, hypertension,
cholesterol, osteoporosis and cancer. A lifestyle analysis
emphasizes behavioral risk patterns, personal risk and family safety.
Controllable and non-controllable risk factors are calculated and a
comparison between Chronological Age and Health Risk Age is provided

Complete Blood Count |
|
The Complete Blood Count
includes the following:
WBC-White
blood cells are the body's primary defense against
disease. White blood cells help fight infection.
RBC-Red
blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen and
carbon dioxide to all cells. Iron deficiency will lower
RBC.
Hemoglobin-A
chemical compound inside red cells that transports
oxygen through the blood stream to all cells of the
body. Oxygen is needed for healthy organs. Hemoglobin
gives the red color to blood.
Lymphocytes-The
results of this and basophils, eosinophils, monocytes
and neutrophils deal with white blood cell function.
Important to the body's defense against infection. Also
important in the assessment of nutritional status.
Monocytes-
The results of this and basophils, eosinophils,
lymphocytes, and neutrophils deal with white blood cell
function. Important to the body's defense against
infection. Also important in the assessment of
nutritional status.
MCH Mean-
corpuscular hemoglobin is one way to measure the average
hemoglobin concentration within red blood cells, which
varies from normal with different diseases.
MCHC Mean-
corpuscular hemoglobin concentration.
MCV Mean-
corpuscular volume measures red blood cell volume.
Monocytes Important in the assessment of
nutritional status.
Neutrophils-
The results of this and basophils, eosinophils,
lymphocytes, and monocytes deal with white blood cell
function. Important to the body's defense against
infection. Also important in the assessment of
nutritional status.
Platelets-
Blood cell particles involved with the forming of blood
clots.

Thyroid Panel |
|
The thyroid gland synthesizes, stores and releases
hormones. The hormones secreted are iodine containing
amino acids, thyroxine (T4) and triiodo-thyronine (T3).
The thyroid hormones influence a diversity of metabolic
processes. These tests help to evaluate thyroid hormones
that control the body's metabolic rate.

Heart Panel |
Cholesterol, Total
- A sterol in the blood. Knowing your
cholesterol may be as important as knowing your blood
pressure. Elevated cholesterol is associated with an
increasing risk of coronary heart disease.
HDL - Cholesterol
High-density lipoproteins are believed to take
cholesterol away from cells and transport it back to the
liver for processing or removal. They have become known
as the "good" cholesterol as persons with high levels of
HDL may have less heart disease. Low HDL could be the
result of smoking and lack of exercise.
LDL - Cholesterol
Low-density lipoproteins contain the greatest percentage
of cholesterol and may be responsible for depositing
cholesterol on the artery walls. For that reason, they
could be known as the "bad" cholesterol.
VLDL -
large
lipoproteins rich in triglycerides; VLDLs circulate
through the blood giving up their triglycerides to fat
and muscle tissue until the VLDL remnants are modified
and converted into LDL
Cholesterol/HDL Ratio -
Calculated by dividing the total cholesterol by the HDL
cholesterol. Ratio used by physicians in determining
your relative risk for developing cardiovascular heart
disease.
Triglycerides -
Triglycerides is a fat in the blood responsible for
providing energy to the cells of the body. Triglycerides
should be less than 400 mg/dl even in a non-fasting
state.

Liver Panel |
The Liver Panel includes:
Alanine
aminotransferase (ALT or SGPT)-
an enzyme found primarily in the liver. Abnormalities
may represent liver disease.
Albumin - one of
the major proteins in the blood and a reflection of the
general state of
nutrition.
Albumin/Globulin ratio
- Calculated by dividing the albumin by the globulin.
Alkaline phosphatase -
A body protein important in diagnosing proper bone and
liver functions.
Aspartate aminotransferase (AST or
SGOT) - an enzyme found in skeletal and heart
muscle, liver and other organs. Abnormalities may
represent liver disease.
Bilirubin - Total A
chemical involved with liver functions. High
concentrations may result in jaundice.
Globulin, Total - A major group of
proteins in the blood comprising the infection fighting
antibodies.
Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH)
- An enzyme found mostly in the heart, muscles, liver,
kidney, brain, and red blood cells. When an organ of the
body is damaged, LDH is released in greater quantity
into the blood stream.
Protein, Total - Together with albumin, it
is a measure of the state of nutrition in the body.

Kidney Panel |
|
This Panel is composed of:
Blood
Urea Nitrogen (BUN)
- A by-product of protein
metabolism eliminated through the kidneys. BUN is an
indicator of kidney function.
Creatinine, Serum - An
indicator of kidney function.
Bun/Creatinine - Ratio Calculated by
dividing the BUN by the Creatinine.

Minerals
& Bone Health Panel |
|
The
Minerals & Bone Health Panel includes:
Iron, Total
- An
abnormally low test result may indicate iron deficiency
anemia which indicates the presence of Insufficient iron
available to create normal red blood cells ( and those
produced may be
microcytic, smaller than normal red blood cells).
Calcium - A mineral
essential for development and maintenance of healthy
bones and teeth. It is important also for the normal
function of muscles, nerves and blood clotting.

Fluids &
Electrolytes |
|
Electrolytes are electrically charged minerals that are
found in body tissues and blood in the form of dissolved
salts. They help move nutrients into and wastes out of
the body’s cells, maintain a healthy water balance, and
help stabilize the body’s pH level. The electrolyte
panel measures the main electrolytes in the body: sodium
(Na+), potassium (K+), chloride (Cl-), and carbon
dioxide (total CO2).
The Fluids & Electrolytes Panel includes:
Sodium, Serum - One of
the major salts in the body fluid; sodium is important
in the body's water balance and the electrical activity
of nerves and muscles.
Sodium is a mineral that is vital to normal body
function. It is an electrolyte, a positively charged
molecule that works with other electrolytes, such as
potassium, chloride and total carbon dioxide ( CO2), to
help regulate the amount of fluid in the body. Sodium is
present in all body fluids but is found in the highest
concentration in the blood and in the fluid outside of
the body’s cells. We get sodium in our diet, from table
salt (sodium chloride or NaCl), and to some degree from
most of the foods that we eat.
Chloride, Serum - Similar
to sodium, it helps to maintain the body's electrolyte
balance.
Chloride is an electrolyte, a
negatively charged molecule that works with other
electrolytes, such as potassium, sodium, and total
carbon dioxide (CO2), to
help regulate the amount of fluid in the body and
maintain the acid-base balance.
Chloride is present in all body fluids but is found in
the highest concentration in the blood and in the fluid
outside of the body’s cells.
Potassium - Helps to
control the nerves and muscles. Potassium is an
electrolyte, a positively charged molecule that works
with other electrolytes, to help regulate the amount of
fluid in the body, stimulate muscle contraction, and
maintain a stable acid-base balance. Potassium is
present in all body fluids, but most potassium is found
within your cells. Only about two percent is present in
fluids outside the cells and in the liquid part of the
blood (called serum or plasma).
CO2 -
The CO2 test measures the total amount of carbon dioxide
in the blood, mostly in the form of bicarbonate (HCO3-).
Bicarbonate is a negatively charged electrolyte that is
excreted and reabsorbed by the kidneys. It is used by
the body to help maintain the body’s acid-base balance
(pH) and secondarily to work with sodium, potassium, and
chloride to maintain electrical neutrality at the
cellular level.

controls the disease
