Haematocrit measures the proportion of blood made up of red blood cells. Abnormal levels may indicate dehydration, anaemia, or other blood conditions.
Red Blood Cells
Red blood cells transport oxygen from the lungs to the body’s tissues. Low levels may indicate anaemia, while high levels may be linked to other underlying conditions.
Adjusted Calcium
Adjusted calcium provides a more accurate calcium reading by accounting for protein levels in the blood.
CA125
CA125 is a protein that may be elevated in certain conditions affecting the ovaries and may require further investigation if elevated.
Calcium
Calcium is essential for strong bones and teeth, as well as normal muscle and nerve function.
Hepatitis A Antibodies
Hepatitis A antibodies (Anti-HAV) are used to determine whether a person has been exposed to the Hepatitis A virus or has developed immunity, either through past infection or vaccination. The presence of antibodies may indicate previous exposure or protection against the virus.
GPC
Gastric parietal cell (GPC) antibodies are associated with autoimmune conditions affecting the stomach lining, such as autoimmune gastritis. These may impact vitamin B12 absorption and digestive health.
LKM
Liver kidney microsomal (LKM) antibodies are associated with certain types of autoimmune hepatitis. Their presence may indicate an autoimmune process affecting liver cells.
SMA
Smooth muscle antibodies (SMA) are often found in autoimmune liver conditions, including autoimmune hepatitis. Elevated levels may indicate an immune response targeting liver tissue.
AMA
Anti-mitochondrial antibodies (AMA) are associated with autoimmune liver conditions, particularly primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). The presence of AMA may indicate an autoimmune response affecting the liver.
