Description

What is included in the analysis package?

The package provides a comprehensive overview of your body’s condition – the indicators that affect your daily well-being , as well as those that determine your long-term risk of disease. The results will be reported by a HeBA doctor, who will draw up a personalised Health Plan that takes account of your health:

• 30 indicators analysed and over 100 relationships between them;
• Your medical history in Digiloo (diagnoses, operations, medical check-ups, medicines taken).

Doctors can use artificial intelligence (AI) analytics to help ensure that nothing is overlooked. Your health is a whole and highly individual, which is why HeBA’s laboratory analysis packages are always more than just explanations of normal or abnormal laboratory test results.

Read more about the individual analyses included in the package:

• General health, energy levels and vitamins
  • A general blood test (haemogram): gives an overview of the status of red and white blood cells and platelets – important in assessing the immune system, oxygen transport and general health.
  • Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin): Helps to assess the state of the nervous system and the haematopoietic system; vitamin B12 deficiency can cause fatigue, memory problems, mood disorders.
  • Vitamin B9 (folic acid or folate): necessary for red blood cell growth and division. Particularly important in pregnancy planning.
  • Vitamin D: essential for immune and bone health; often deficient in northern countries.
  • Ferritin: helps to assess the status of iron stores. Low ferritin often indicates iron deficiency before anaemia (low haemoglobin) occurs; elevated levels may indicate inflammation or chronic disease.
• Blood sugar and metabolism
  • Fasting glucose: shows fasting blood glucose, an important marker of blood glucose metabolism. Fasting glucose abnormalities can help detect an increased risk of diabetes early.
    
  • Glucohaemoglobin (HbA1c): indicates the average blood glucose level over the past 2-3 months – another important marker for detecting diabetes and assessing risk.
    
• Heart and vascular health
  • Total cholesterol: the amount of total cholesterol in the blood. Important in assessing risk of cardiovascular disease.
  • LDL or “bad” cholesterol: contributes to the formation of atherosclerosis, which in turn increases the risk of cardiovascular disease (including heart attack, stroke).
  • HDL or “good” cholesterol: transfers cholesterol from arteries to the liver, thus providing some protection against cardiovascular disease.
  • Non-HDL cholesterol: contains all the blood vessel damaging lipoproteins (LDL, VLDL, IDL and lipoprotein A). Stronger predictor of heart disease than LDL cholesterol alone.
  • Triglycerides: a blood fat with high levels that increase the risk of heart disease.
    
  • CRV (C-reactive protein): A universal marker of inflammation – helps to assess hidden inflammatory processes that can contribute to heart disease and other chronic conditions.
    
• Liver and kidneys
  • ALAT (alanine aminotransferase): an enzyme found mainly in the liver, elevated levels of ALAT often indicate damage to liver cells. Elevated levels may be associated with liver inflammation (e.g. viral hepatitis), alcohol, fatty liver, drug effects or tumours.
  • ASAT (aspartate aminotransferase): an enzyme present in the muscles and heart as well as the liver, so elevated ASAT is not always associated with liver disease. If ASAT is elevated along with ALAT, this may indicate liver inflammation, alcoholic liver damage or liver blood supply disorders.
  • ALP (alkaline phosphatase): an enzyme found in the liver and bones, elevated levels of ALP may indicate bile duct disorders (e.g. gallstones, bile duct inflammation) or, less commonly, bone disease. Together with GGT, it helps to distinguish whether the cause is in the liver or in the bones.
  • GGT (gamma-glutamyl transferase): a sensitive indicator of liver function, particularly sensitive to alcohol, drugs and biliary problems. An elevated value may indicate alcoholic liver damage, chronic liver inflammation or biliary obstruction.
  • Creatinine: A key indicator of kidney function, also influenced by muscle mass and fluid balance.
