 Includes:
31789 Homocysteine
Elevated levels of homocysteine are observed in patients at risk for coronary heart disease and stroke.
17306 25-dehydroxyvitamin D
Measurement of
serum 25-OH vitamin D concentrations provide a good index of circulating
vitamin D activity in patients not suffering from renal disease. Lower
than normal 25-OH vitamin D levels can result from a dietary deficiency,
poor absorption of the vitamin or impaired metabolism of the sterol in
the liver. A 25-OH vitamin D deficiency can lead to bone diseases such
as rickets and osteomalacia.

Cholesterol, HDL Cholesterol, Triglycerides, LDL-Cholesterol
(calculated), Cholesterol/HDL Ratio (calculated), Non-HDL Cholesterol
(calculated) 4420 C-Reactive Protein (CRP)
Increased CRP
levels are found in inflammatory conditions including: bacterial
infection, rheumatic fever, active arthritis, myocardial infarction,
malignancies and in the post-operative state. This test cannot detect
the relatively small elevations of CRP that are associated with
increased cardiovascular risk.
