Lp(a) is composed of apolipoprotein B-100 (apoB-100) covalently bound to apolipoprotein (a) [apo(a)]. It is a type of lipoprotein associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, including heart attack and stroke. This test helps evaluate genetic and residual cardiovascular risk factors beyond standard cholesterol measurements
Each low density lipoprotein, very low density lipoprotein and intermediate density lipoprotein has an Apo B attached. Since the majority of our lipoproteins are low density lipoproteins, Apo B indirectly measures the LDL particle number and is a better predictor of cardiovascular disease risk than LDL Cholesterol
the concentration of triglyceride within your blood. Helps assess cardiovascular disease risk
The cholesterol concentration within the low density lipoprotein. It has often been referred to as “bad” cholesterol because it can lead to plaque buildup in arteries, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease. The test is used to assess cardiovascular risk and guide treatment for cholesterol managemen
the cholesterol concentration within the high density lipoprotein. It has often been referred to as “good” cholesterol because it helps remove excess cholesterol from the bloodstream and transport it to the liver for excretion. This test is used to assess cardiovascular risk and evaluate overall heart health.
the cholesterol concentration within low density lipoproteins, intermediate density lipoproteins & very low density lipoproteins combined. This test is used to assess cardiovascular risk and guide treatment for cholesterol management.
the ratio of total cholesterol / HDL cholesterol. A higher ratio may indicate a higher risk of cardiovascular disease
hsCRP is a marker of inflammation. It is used to assess cardiovascular disease risk
This immunofluorescence assay is often ordered as part of an initial diagnostic evaluation for autoimmune disease
A screening test to evaluate for Rheumatoid Arthritis

Confirmatory test for diagnosing pancreatitis
helps evaluate for inflammation of the pancreas and salivary glands. It also evaluates for biliary tract disease and bowel obstruction.
Lead concentration in blood
Mercury concentration in blood
A genetic test that determines an individual’s Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) genotype.
The ApoE gene has three common alleles: ApoE2, ApoE3, and ApoE4. Each person inherits two copies of the ApoE gene, one from each parent, resulting in six possible genotypes: E2/E2, E2/E3, E2/E4, E3/E3, E3/E4, and E4/E4.
The ApoE genotype is just one piece of the puzzle when assessing an individuals risk for Alzheimer’s disease.
Recommended for adults with an elevated risk of cancer, such as those age 50 or older. The Galleri test can be taken annually as a simple blood test and screens for a “fingerprint” of many of the deadliest cancers before they become symptomatic, including those with no recommended screening tests today.
