Anti-aging medicine is a specialty founded on the application of advanced scientific and medical technologies for the early detection, prevention, treatment, and reversal of age-related diseases. Research into ways to optimize and retard the human aging process is designed to prolong the human life span. Anti-aging medicine is a specialty based on the scientific principles of responsible medical care consistent with those of other healthcare specialties.
Included in this important package:
Wellness #2 Profile with 50 results including: A1c, glucose, kidney & liver profiles, CBC's, metabolic panel, lipid profile, thyroid w/TSH and electrolytes.
CBC's
Used as a broad screening test to check for such disorders as anemia, infection, and many other diseases, as it analyzes different parts of the blood.
Thyroid Panel
Total T-4 (Thyroxine); T-3 uptake; Free—Thyroxine Index (FTI); T-7; and Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
Tri-iodothyronine (T3), Free, Direct Serum - Measurement of free T-3 is of value in confirming the diagnosis of hyperthyroidism, when an elevated free or total thyroxine level is found. Abnormal total and free tri-iodothyronine concentrations can appear in T3 toxicosis, in the presence of normal thyroxine levels. Free T3 levels are not affected by carrier protein variation.
Thyroxine (T4) Free, Direct Serum - Free T4 is the active form of thyroxine and is thought to be a more accurate reflection of thyroid hormone function.
Lipid Profile
Cholesterol, Total, HDL Cholesterol (High-density lipoproteins, or the "good" cholesterol), LDL Cholesterol (Low-density lipoproteins, or the "bad" cholesterol), Cholesterol/HDL Ratio—Calculated by dividing the total cholesterol by the HDL cholesterol, and Triglycerides (fat in the blood)
Liver Profile
Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT or SGPT), Albumin,Serum; Albumin/Globulin Ratio; Alkaline Phosphatase; Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST or SGOT; Bilirubin, Total; Globulin, Total; Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH); Protein; GGT—Also known as Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase.
Kidney Panel
Urea Nitrogen (BUN); Creatinine, Serum; Uric Acid; BUN/Creatinine—Ratio;
Minerals and Bone
Iron, Total; Calcium; Phosphorus;
Fluids & Electrolytes
Chloride, Serum; Potassium; Sodium; Carbon Dioxide
Diabetes Glucose
Blood sugar level is the most direct single test to uncover diabetes and may be used not only to identify diabetes, but also to evaluate control of the disease.
Hemoglobin A1C
A non-fasting test and indicates how well you have controlled your diabetes over the last few months.
Estradiol
One of the three estrogen hormones ; In men, the testes and adrenal glands are the principal source of estradiol.
IGF1 Somatomedin-C (SC) produced in the liver in response to stimulation by growth hormone secreted by the pituitary gland. This insulin-like growth factor level is used to evaluate disturbances of growth and monitor treatment with growth hormones.
Testosterone, Total and Free
Testosterone is a hormone that causes male characteristics. The blood level is used in men to investigate abnormal sexual development and sexual dysfunction. Small amounts are produced in women's ovaries and levels are tested to evaluate virilization.
DHEA, SULFATE - Hormone produced in the adrenal gland that causes the formation of male features and is used to monitor treatment with DHEA reducing drugs.
PSA - The prostate specific antigen (PSA) is a protein made in only the prostate gland. It is produced by normal, abnormal and also cancerous prostatic tissue.
