Men’s Health Test
Our Men’s Health package gives a comprehensive overview of key biomarkers shown to play a critical role in men’s health including cardiac health, inflammation, and diabetes. The results may give you an indication of whether you are at risk. Click below to view the full spectrum of tests included.
What's Included?
Cystatin C (CysC): Cystatin is a biomarker of kidney function. The test result is used as an aid in the assessment and evaluation of index of glomerular filtration rate, and has important application value in renal function, kidney damage and renal transplantation.
Cardiac Troponin I (cTnI): Cardiac Troponin I is a protein released in the blood when the heart muscle has been damaged. This test is used as an aid in the diagnosis of myocardial injury such as Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI), Unstable Angina, Acute Myocarditis and Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS).
N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP): N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is secreted from the left cardiac ventricle in response to volume and pressure overload. It is an inactive N-terminal fragment that splits from BNP pro-hormone. NT-proBNP can be used to evaluate heart contractile, diastolic dysfunction, and ventricular segmental wall motion coordination. Natriuretic peptides are made by your heart. The test is used as an aid in the clinical diagnosis, prognosis, and evaluation of Heart Failure (HF).
D-Dimer: D-Dimer is a protein fragment that is released when a blood clot dissolves in your body. The test is used as an aid in the assessment and evaluation of patients suspected of deep-vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism.
High Sensitivity C Reactive Protein (hs-CRP): Measurement of CRP is useful for the detection and evaluation of infection, tissue injury and inflammatory disorders. Measurement of high sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP), when used in conjunction with traditional clinical laboratory evaluation of acute coronary syndromes (ACS), may be useful as an independent marker of prognosis for recurrent events in patients with stable coronary disease or Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS).
Serum Amyloid Alpha (SAA): Serum Amyloid Alpha (SAA) is a biomarker of tissue injury and inflammation. SAAs are involved in the acute phase responses; these are the immediate early host responses to inflammation. These proteins have been implicated in several disease states including rheumatoid arthritis, atherosclerosis, AA amyloidosis and coronary artery disease. This test can be used as a sensitive index in the diagnosis of infection and inflammation.
Glycosylated Hemoglobin: Hemoglobin is the protein molecule in red blood cells with the main function of transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide in blood. HbA1c belongs to the glycated hemoglobin, a fraction formed by the attachment of various sugars to the Hb molecule and is proportional to average blood glucose concentration over the previous four weeks to three months. HbA1c tells you your average blood sugar level over the past 2-3 months. This test is used as an aid for monitoring glycemic control in diabetics. In addition, it can identify people at risk of developing the disease and ongoing monitoring.
