Çfarë matet
Every marker below is read against optimal ranges — not just the lab reference band — and explained by a clinician on your results call.
The pituitary hormone that drives egg and sperm production.
Why it matters
A key marker of ovarian reserve and the transition into menopause.
The ratio of total testosterone to SHBG, estimating active androgen.
Why it matters
A key calculation in assessing PCOS and androgen excess in women.
The pituitary hormone that triggers ovulation and testosterone production.
Why it matters
Its ratio to FSH is a central clue in diagnosing PCOS.
The main form of oestrogen, central to the menstrual cycle and bone health.
Why it matters
Interpreted against cycle timing in women; in men, raised levels can cause their own symptoms.
The hormone that dominates the second half of the menstrual cycle.
Why it matters
Confirms whether ovulation occurred, which matters for fertility and cycle problems.
The pituitary hormone best known for milk production.
Why it matters
Raised levels disrupt periods, fertility and libido in both sexes, and are usually correctable.
The protein that binds sex hormones and controls how much is free.
Why it matters
Explains a normal total testosterone with low free testosterone, and shifts with insulin resistance and thyroid function.
The principal male sex hormone, also present and important in women.
Why it matters
Drives energy, muscle, mood and libido in both sexes. Low levels have measurable, treatable causes.
The main protein your liver makes, holding fluid inside your blood vessels.
Why it matters
A good measure of longer-term liver function and nutritional state.
An enzyme from the liver, bile ducts and bone.
Why it matters
Raised levels point either to a bile-flow problem or to active bone turnover.
A mineral working with calcium in bone and cellular energy.
Why it matters
Read with calcium and PTH to assess bone and kidney health.
The mineral behind bone strength, muscle contraction and nerve signalling.
Why it matters
Tightly controlled by your body, so abnormal levels usually point to a parathyroid, kidney or vitamin D problem.
Your calcium adjusted for albumin level.
Why it matters
A truer reading than total calcium when protein levels are abnormal.
The vitamin your skin makes from sunlight, essential for bone, muscle and immune function.
Why it matters
Deficiency is near-universal in northern Europe through winter, and among the easiest deficiencies to correct.
Vitamin B9, needed to build DNA and red blood cells.
Why it matters
Works together with B12 — treating one without checking the other can mask a serious deficiency.
A vitamin essential for nerve function and red blood cell production.
Why it matters
Deficiency causes fatigue, pins and needles and memory problems, and can become irreversible if left too long.
The cholesterol carried by low-density lipoproteins, the particles that deposit cholesterol into artery walls.
Why it matters
LDL is the single most modifiable driver of heart disease. Lowering it years before symptoms is one of the most effective things you can do.
Total cholesterol minus HDL — everything left that can contribute to plaque.
Why it matters
A better predictor of cardiovascular risk than LDL alone, because it captures every artery-damaging particle in one number.
The cholesterol carried by high-density lipoproteins, which transport it away from the arteries back to the liver.
Why it matters
Higher is generally protective. A low HDL alongside high triglycerides often points to insulin resistance rather than diet alone.
The total amount of cholesterol carried in your blood, combining the LDL, HDL and other fractions.
Why it matters
On its own it is a blunt number — the split between LDL and HDL matters far more, which is why we always read it alongside them.
Your total cholesterol divided by your HDL, expressing the balance between the two.
Why it matters
A cleaner risk signal than either number alone, and one of the values most responsive to changes in diet and activity.
The main form of fat circulating in your blood, mostly from what you eat and what your liver produces.
Why it matters
Raised triglycerides are an early sign that your body is struggling to handle sugar and refined carbohydrate — often before glucose looks abnormal.
The unbound, available form of thyroxine — your thyroid's main circulating hormone.
Why it matters
Read with TSH, it separates a thyroid that is failing from a pituitary signalling problem.
The active thyroid hormone your cells actually use to set metabolic rate.
Why it matters
Explains why some people feel hypothyroid despite normal TSH — conversion from T4 to T3 can be impaired.
The pituitary's signal telling your thyroid how much hormone to produce.
Why it matters
The most sensitive early marker of thyroid trouble. TSH shifts before T4 and T3 do, and before most people notice symptoms.
The hormone controlling calcium levels in your blood and bones.
Why it matters
Read with calcium and vitamin D, it explains bone loss and unexplained calcium abnormalities.
The iron currently circulating in your blood.
Why it matters
Fluctuates through the day and with recent meals, so it is read alongside ferritin and transferrin rather than alone.
Your body's iron store — the protein that holds iron until it is needed.
Why it matters
The first thing to fall when iron runs low, often long before haemoglobin drops. A common and very treatable cause of fatigue.
The protein that transports iron through your bloodstream.
Why it matters
Rises when iron is scarce as your body tries to capture more, helping separate true deficiency from inflammation.
How much iron your blood could carry if every transport site were full.
Why it matters
A high TIBC with low ferritin confirms genuine iron deficiency rather than iron locked away by inflammation.
The force your blood exerts against your artery walls.
Why it matters
The most important modifiable risk factor for stroke and heart disease, and usually symptomless until late.
Your body weight, recorded at your appointment.
Why it matters
Meaningful when tracked over time alongside your blood markers rather than read on its own.
Your height, recorded at your appointment.
Why it matters
Used with weight to calculate BMI and to interpret several other results.
