At IMULAB, we prioritise proactive health management through regular monitoring of key biomarkers. Tracking these markers can help you maintain optimal health and potentially extend your lifespan. Hereβs an overview of the crucial biomarkers you should consider:
Lipid Markers (Cholesterol Levels):
LDL Cholesterol (Low-Density Lipoprotein): High levels of LDL, or 'bad' cholesterol, can lead to plaque buildup in arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease.
HDL Cholesterol (High-Density Lipoprotein): Known as 'good' cholesterol, higher levels help remove LDL cholesterol from the bloodstream.
Triglycerides: Elevated levels can also contribute to heart disease.
HbA1c (Glycated Haemoglobin): This test provides an average blood sugar level over the past two to three months. It is essential for diagnosing and monitoring diabetes, helping to prevent complications by keeping levels within the recommended range.
CRP (C-Reactive Protein): A marker of inflammation in the body. High levels of CRP indicate chronic inflammation, which is linked to various conditions, including heart disease and cancer.
Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)]: This is a type of LDL cholesterol that increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Elevated levels are considered a genetic risk factor for heart disease.
Vitamin D: Essential for bone health, immune function, and overall health. Low levels of vitamin D are associated with various health issues, including osteoporosis and an increased risk of chronic diseases.
Why Monitor These Biomarkers?
Regular monitoring of these biomarkers allows for the early detection and management of potential health issues. Understanding your risk factors helps you make informed decisions about your lifestyle, diet, and medical care, contributing to better health outcomes and potentially a longer life.
