Commonly Used For Diagnosis Of

• Cardiovascular Disease and Risk Assessment: The panel aids in identifying risk factors for heart attacks and strokes, including high cholesterol (dyslipidemia), high triglycerides, and chronic inflammation (elevated hs-CRP).
• Type 2 Diabetes and Prediabetes: Hemoglobin A1c and glucose levels provide crucial data for diagnosing prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, or monitoring existing glycemic control.
• Hormonal Imbalances in Men: Helps diagnose conditions such as hypogonadism (low testosterone), adrenal imbalances (DHEA-Sulfate), and estrogen dominance, which can impact energy, mood, muscle mass, and sexual health.
• Thyroid Dysfunction: Identifies both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism by evaluating TSH and thyroid hormone levels, critical for metabolic regulation.
• Anemia and Iron Deficiency: Iron and TIBC measurements are vital for diagnosing various forms of anemia, including iron deficiency anemia and anemia of chronic disease.
• Vitamin D Deficiency: Crucial for bone health, immune function, and overall wellness, this test helps diagnose insufficient or deficient vitamin D levels.
• Prostate Health Issues: While not a definitive diagnostic tool for cancer, PSA levels are used as a screening marker for prostate conditions, including benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer.
• Growth Hormone Disorders: IGF-1 levels are key in assessing the function of the growth hormone axis, which can be implicated in various growth and metabolic disorders.
• Inflammatory Conditions: Elevated C-Reactive Protein (CRP) can indicate systemic inflammation, which is associated with various chronic diseases.

This comprehensive approach allows clinicians to gain a holistic view of a man's health, facilitating early detection and management of a wide range of age-related and systemic conditions.
