Women’s Health Test
Our Women’s Health package gives a comprehensive overview of key biomarkers shown to play a critical role in women’s health including thyroid hormone levels, diabetes risk, vitamins, and inflammatory markers. 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?
Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH): Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is one of the hormones essential to pubertal development and the function of women’s ovaries and men’s testes. FSH testing is used for women suspected of having polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and in individuals undergoing evaluation for infertility. It is also used for evaluation of individuals with suspected pituitary disorders or diseases of the ovaries.
Luteinizing Hormone (LH): Luteinizing Hormone (LH) is a hormone found in both men and women. In women, it plays an important role in the menstrual cycle and in men, it helps the release of testosterone. This test is used to determine menopause, pinpoint ovulation, and monitor endocrine therapy.
Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH): Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) is a homodimeric glycoprotein from the TGF-β family. It plays a major role in cell growth and differentiation. AMH is a marker for ovarian functional reserve because it is formed only by the primary follicles, which are capable of maturation, and the secondary follicles. This test is used as an aid in indicating ovarian functional reserve, help to diagnose menstrual disorders or to monitor fertility status of women.
Human chorionic gonadotropin beta (HCG): Human chorionic gonadotropin beta (HCG) is a glycoprotein hormone produced by the placenta, a component of the fertilized egg, after conception. HCG measurement with blood or urine can be used as an aid in pregnancy test.
Cystatin (CysC): Cystatin (CysC) 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.
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.
Triiodothyronine (T3): The thyroid gland exerts powerful and essential regulatory influences on growth, differentiation, cellular metabolism, and general hormonal balance, as well as on the maintenance of metabolic activity and the development of the skeletal system. A triiodothyronine (T3) test can be used in the monitoring of hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism and used as an aid in the functional diagnosis of thyroidea.
Thyroxine (T4): The thyroid gland exerts powerful and essential regulatory influences on growth, differentiation, cellular metabolism, and general hormonal balance, as well as on the maintenance of metabolic activity and the development of the skeletal system. Thyroxine (T4) is the most commonly measured substance assessing thyroid function. It can be used in the monitoring of hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism and used as an aid in the functional diagnosis of thyroidea.
Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH): Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is the main regulator of thyroid cell growth, thyroid hormone synthesis and secretion. This test is used as an aid in the screening, clinical diagnosis, prognosis and therapeutic effect evaluation of thyroid diseases. High or low levels of TSH can indicate that you have an overactive or underactive thyroid.
