- Liver and kidney: GGT, GPT, and Cystatin C provide insights into metabolic and detoxification functions.
- Iron and Nutrient Status: Ferritin and Vitamin D help to detect deficiencies early.
- Hormonal Balance: Prolactin, SHBG, and Cortisol provide insights into your hormonal balance.
Your health is your most valuable asset – take active care of it.
The Women's Health Profile gives you the opportunity to have crucial blood values analyzed conveniently from home – simple, fast, and reliable.
What do the measured values mean?
What do the measured values mean?
25-OH vitamin D is the storage form of vitamin D that the body produces in the liver from vitamin D formed by sunlight or food. Vitamin D supports calcium absorption, ensures healthy bones and teeth, and plays an important role for muscles, nerves, and the immune system.
The 25-OH vitamin D test is the best method to check vitamin D status. Low levels can indicate too little sunlight, an unbalanced diet, or diseases and are associated with bone diseases such as osteoporosis or rickets. Excessive levels usually result from too high supplement doses and can strain the kidneys and liver.
Cholesterol
Cholesterol is a fat-like substance that the body needs for many important functions. It is a building block of cell membranes, a precursor for hormones such as estrogen and testosterone, and for the production of bile acids. Some is absorbed through food, but the majority is produced in the liver.
Too high cholesterol levels can lead to deposits in the vessel walls and increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases. However, a balanced level is important, as cholesterol is also indispensable for health.
LDL cholesterol
LDL cholesterol is referred to as "bad cholesterol" because it transports cholesterol from the liver to the body's cells. Excess LDL can deposit in the vessel walls and form so-called plaques. These deposits narrow the vessels and increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
High LDL levels are an important risk factor for arteriosclerosis, heart attack, and stroke. Low levels, on the other hand, are considered beneficial for vascular health.
HDL cholesterol
HDL cholesterol is often referred to as "good cholesterol" because it transports excess cholesterol from the vessels to the liver. There, it is broken down or recycled, reducing deposits in the arteries. Thus, HDL helps to keep the vessels healthy and free from calcifications.
High HDL levels are considered beneficial as they are associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular diseases. Low levels, on the other hand, increase the risk of arteriosclerosis and heart attack.
Triglyceride
Triglycerides are the main form of fats in the body and are primarily stored in fat cells. They are formed when excess energy from food is converted into fat. Some triglycerides circulate in the blood and serve as an energy source.
Elevated triglyceride levels can increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases, especially when LDL is high and HDL is low at the same time. Very high levels can also trigger inflammation of the pancreas.
Cortisol
Cortisol is a hormone produced in the adrenal cortex that controls metabolism and the body's stress response. It regulates blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and influences the immune system. Cortisol typically follows a daily rhythm, with the highest levels in the morning and the lowest at night.
Permanently elevated cortisol levels can lead to weight gain, high blood pressure, sleep disturbances, and a weakened immune system. Too low levels indicate adrenal insufficiency and can be associated with fatigue, low blood pressure, and weakness.
Cystatin C
Cystatin C is a protein that is produced in all body cells and filtered from the blood by the kidneys. Since the production of Cystatin C in the body is relatively constant, the value is well-suited for assessing kidney function.
In contrast to creatinine, Cystatin C increases early when kidney performance declines. Therefore, it is considered a sensitive marker for detecting early kidney weakness in a timely manner.
Ferritin
Ferritin is a protein that stores iron in the body and releases it when needed. The ferritin level in the blood indicates how well the body's iron stores are filled and is therefore often used to assess iron status.
Low values usually indicate an iron deficiency or anemia. Elevated values may suggest inflammation, liver diseases, or iron overload.
TSH
TSH (Thyroid-stimulating hormone) is produced in the pituitary gland and controls the activity of the thyroid gland. It stimulates the thyroid to produce the hormones T3 and T4, which influence metabolism and many body functions.
High TSH levels usually indicate an underactive thyroid, as the body tries to boost hormone production. Low TSH levels, on the other hand, suggest an overactive thyroid.
fT3 (free triiodothyronine)
fT3 is the active form of the thyroid hormone that acts directly in the cells and regulates metabolism. It influences heart rate, energy consumption, digestion, and many other body functions. A large part is produced by the conversion of the hormone T4 into T3 in the liver and kidneys.
Elevated fT3 levels usually indicate hyperthyroidism, while low levels may suggest hypothyroidism or a disturbance in the conversion of T4 to T3.
fT4 (free thyroxine)
fT4 is the precursor of the active hormone T3 and is predominantly produced by the thyroid gland. It circulates in the blood and can be converted into T3 in the organs to stimulate metabolism.
High fT4 levels typically indicate hyperthyroidism. Low levels, on the other hand, suggest hypothyroidism.
Gamma-GT (G-GT)
GGT is an enzyme that is primarily found in the liver and bile ducts. It is released into the blood when these organs are damaged or stressed. Therefore, GGT is an important marker for liver health.
Elevated levels may indicate alcohol abuse, liver inflammation, bile duct obstruction, or certain medications. Normal levels usually indicate intact liver function.
GPT (ALT, ALAT)
GPT, also called ALT, is an enzyme that occurs almost exclusively in the liver. When liver cells are damaged, it enters the blood and the level rises.
An elevated GPT level is therefore a sensitive indicator of liver diseases such as hepatitis or fatty liver. Normal values indicate a healthy liver.
Long-term blood sugar (HbA1c)
HbA1c is a long-term blood sugar value that indicates the average blood sugar level over the past two to three months. It is formed when sugar attaches to the red blood pigment hemoglobin. Since red blood cells live for about three months, the HbA1c value provides a good overview of long-term blood sugar control.
A high HbA1c value indicates poorly controlled or previously undetected diabetes. Normal values indicate stable and good blood sugar control.
Prolactin
Prolactin is a hormone produced in the pituitary gland. It plays a crucial role in the development of mammary glands and milk production after birth. Even outside of pregnancy and breastfeeding, prolactin can be detected in the blood.
Elevated prolactin levels can lead to menstrual cycle disorders, infertility, or milk flow without pregnancy. In men, elevated levels often manifest as potency disorders or reduced sexual drive. Low levels are rare and usually of little significance.
Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG)
SHBG (Sex hormone-binding globulin) is a protein produced in the liver that binds sex hormones such as testosterone and estrogen in the blood. This regulates how much of these hormones are free and thus biologically active.
High SHBG levels mean that less free testosterone or estrogen is available, which can occur in liver diseases or overactive thyroid conditions. Low levels lead to more free hormone and occur, for example, in cases of obesity, diabetes, or underactive thyroid conditions.
