Full Blood Count (FBC)

Total Cholesterol
Total cholesterol and it’s sub groups HDL, LDL and Triglycerides (TG) are used in evaluating heart disease risk.
These tests are useful in the assessment of healthy individuals as well as in patients who have heart disease or have other risk factors such as smoking, high blood pressure or diabetes. They are also used to monitor treatment with lipid lowering drugs.

Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH), T3, T4
TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone, thyrotropin) blood test which screens for and diagnoses thyroid disorders; monitors treatment of hypothyroidism/hyperthyroidism.
T3 and T4 are hormones produced by the thyroid gland . The thyroid gland is found in the neck, in front of the windpipe. T3 makes up less than 10% of what we call thyroid hormone, while T4 makes up the rest. T3, however, is about four times as strong as T4, and is thought to cause most, if not all, the effects of thyroid hormones.
Thyroid hormones help regulate the body’s metabolism (how the body functions) and are also related to fertility.

Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
Luteinizing hormone (LH) test, used to evaluate pituitary function, especially in terms of fertility problems.

Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) test, used to evaluate pituitary function, especially in terms of fertility problems.

Testosterone

Testosterone has diurnal variation and for accurate measurements blood donation should be as early in the morning as possible and no later than 10.00am

Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG)
Sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), used to help evaluate a patient's androgens.

DHEAs
DHEAS is measured to evaluate adrenal function and certain adrenal tumours, and to investigate the cause of virilisation in girls or early puberty in boys.
