What do the measured values mean?
TSH (sensitiv)
Der Biomarker TSH (sensitiv) ist ein wichtiger Indikator für die Schilddrüsenfunktion. Ein erhöhter TSH-Wert kann auf eine Schilddrüsenunterfunktion hinweisen, während ein niedriger Wert auf eine Überfunktion hindeuten kann. Die genaue Bestimmung des TSH-Werts ist daher entscheidend für die Diagnose und Behandlung von Schilddrüsenerkrankungen.
Hämoglobin
Hämoglobin ist ein Protein in den roten Blutkörperchen, das den Sauerstoff von der Lunge zu den Körpergeweben transportiert und Kohlendioxid zurück zur Lunge bringt. Es ist wichtig, weil es die Sauerstoffversorgung und den Gasaustausch im Körper unterstützt.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12, auch bekannt als Cobalamin, ist ein wichtiger Biomarker für die Gesundheit. Ein Mangel an diesem Vitamin kann zu Anämie, neurologischen Problemen und anderen schwerwiegenden gesundheitlichen Komplikationen führen. Es ist wichtig, regelmäßig den Vitamin B12-Spiegel zu überprüfen und gegebenenfalls Nahrungsergänzungsmittel einzunehmen, um Mangelerscheinungen zu vermeiden.
Ferritin
Ferritin ist ein Biomarker, der den Eisenspeicher im Körper anzeigt. Hohe Ferritinwerte können auf eine Eisenüberladung oder Entzündungen hinweisen, während niedrige Werte auf einen Eisenmangel hindeuten können. Daher ist die Messung von Ferritinwerten wichtig für die Diagnose und Überwachung von Eisenstoffwechselstörungen und Entzündungskrankheiten.
Folsäure
Folsäure im Serum oder Plasma: Die Messung von Folsäure wird verwendet, um den Folsäurespiegel im Blut zu bestimmen. Folsäure ist wichtig für die Bildung von roten Blutkörperchen und das reibungslose Funktionieren des Nervensystems. Abweichungen vom normalen Folsäurespiegel können auf verschiedene medizinische Zustände hinweisen, einschließlich Anämie, Schwangerschaftskomplikationen oder Mangelernährung.
Transcobalamin
Transcobalamin ist ein Protein, das Vitamin B12 im Blut transportiert und es den Zellen zur Verfügung stellt. Ein Mangel oder eine Dysfunktion kann zu einer verminderten Vitamin B12-Versorgung der Zellen führen, was verschiedene gesundheitliche Probleme verursachen kann.
Transferrin
Die Transferrinsättigung ist ein Maß für den Anteil des im Blut gebundenen Eisens im Verhältnis zur Gesamtkapazität des Transferrins. Dieser Wert ist wichtig für die Bewertung des Eisenstatus im Körper. Eine niedrige Transferrinsättigung kann auf Eisenmangel hinweisen, was zu Anämie und anderen Gesundheitsproblemen führen kann. Ein angemessener Eisenstatus ist entscheidend für die normale Funktion des Körpers, einschließlich der Bildung roter Blutkörperchen und des Sauerstofftransports im Blut. Ein Mangel an Eisen kann zu Müdigkeit, Schwäche und anderen Symptomen führen."
25-OH-Vitamin-D3
Der Biomarker 25-OH-Vitamin D ist ein wichtiger Indikator für den Vitamin-D-Status im Körper. Ein Mangel an diesem Vitamin kann zu einer Vielzahl von gesundheitlichen Problemen führen, wie z.B. Osteoporose, Muskelschwäche und erhöhtem Infektionsrisiko. Daher ist es wichtig, den 25-OH-Vitamin D-Spiegel regelmäßig zu überprüfen und gegebenenfalls durch Nahrungsergänzungsmittel oder Sonnenlicht zu optimieren.
