Blood Tests
Here is a list of the blood tests that I do twice a year. You can request for these tests at your GP or go directly to Innoquest Diagnostics to do them.
Standard blood test
- Fasting glucose
- Lipids
- Liver
- Kidney
- Calcium, uric acid
- Haematology
- CK
- Creatinine
Additional blood tests
- Diabetes
- Insulin
- Hb1ac
- HsCRP – inflammation
- Vit D
- Iron Studies
- Iron
- Transferritin
- Endocrine
- Ferritin
- Homocysteine (measures if glutathione is sufficient)
- Vitamin B12
- Folic Acid
- Special lipids
- Lipoprotein(a) – read more
- Apolipoprotein A1
- Apolipoprotein B
- Cancer markers
- Ca199 (gastro/pancreatic)
- Cea (cancer enzymes)
- Ca125 (ovary)
- Ca153 (breast)
Your standard GP will not even have heard of some of these tests for you and will not know how to interpret the results. To see a GP, you can go to Tucker Medical to see Dr Sak or you can consult with an experienced nutritionist (I see Katherine at Aman Wellness who is absolutely wonderful).
