Biomarkers:

Apolipoprotein A1, or ApoA1
Apolipoprotein B, or ApoB

Why is Apolipoprotein Testing Important?

Improved Cardiovascular Risk Prediction – Apolipoprotein testing measures Apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) and Apolipoprotein B (ApoB), providing a clearer understanding of heart disease risk.

More Reliable than LDL/HDL Cholesterol – ApoB accurately reflects the actual number of harmful cholesterol particles (LDL, VLDL), making it a stronger predictor of heart disease compared to traditional cholesterol measures.

Identifies Hidden Risks – This testing can uncover risks in individuals who have normal cholesterol levels but still possess a high number of harmful lipoproteins.

Guides Treatment Decisions – Doctors use apolipoprotein levels to personalise cholesterol-lowering treatments, such as statins and lifestyle modifications.

Useful for Specific Conditions – Apolipoprotein testing is particularly important for people with diabetes, metabolic syndrome, or a family history of heart disease, especially when standard cholesterol tests might not provide sufficient information. 

Who Should Get Apolipoprotein Testing?

🔹 Individuals with a family history of heart disease

🔹 Those who have high cholesterol levels that don’t align with their heart disease risk

🔹 People with diabetes or metabolic syndrome

🔹 Anyone experiencing unexplained heart disease at a young age

Cholesterol
HDL Cholesterol
LDL Cholesterol (Calculated)
Non-HDL Cholesterol

Description:

Over 40% of adults have high cholesterol levels, which is a significant risk factor for heart attacks and strokes. The only way to determine if you have high cholesterol is through a blood test. Most cases of high cholesterol result from a diet high in saturated fats, especially those found in animal products. While some cholesterol is essential for the body, we often consume far too much. Genetics also play a substantial role in cholesterol levels, but you can only uncover this by taking a blood test.

Approximately 1 in 250 people have very high cholesterol levels due to a genetic condition called familial hypercholesterolemia. Unfortunately, this condition can lead to premature heart attacks in family members. It can be treated, but dietary changes alone are usually insufficient; knowing your cholesterol levels is crucial.

By understanding your cholesterol levels, you can take control and make the necessary changes to improve your chances of living a long and healthy life.

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone derived from testosterone, plays a key role in the development and maintenance of male sexual characteristics.

Measuring DHT levels can aid in diagnosing various health conditions. In men, elevated DHT levels are often linked to issues such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostate cancer, and androgenic alopecia (male pattern baldness). While DHT levels are naturally lower in women and less commonly evaluated for diagnostic purposes, excessive DHT production in some cases can be associated with conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or hirsutism (unwanted or excessive hair growth).

Understanding DHT’s role in the body provides valuable insights into its impact on health and potential treatment approaches.

The primary benefit of testing Lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] is to evaluate the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), which includes conditions such as heart attacks, strokes, and aortic valve disease. Lp(a) is a genetically determined risk factor, meaning that high levels can heighten the likelihood of developing heart disease, even when other cholesterol levels appear normal.

Key Benefits of Testing Lp(a):

  1. Identifies Hidden Heart Risks: Standard cholesterol tests, including LDL, HDL, and triglycerides, may not fully capture cardiovascular risk. However, elevated Lp(a) levels can significantly increase the risk, even when other markers are within normal ranges.
  2. Helps Personalize Treatment: Individuals with high Lp(a) levels may benefit from more aggressive cholesterol management, lifestyle changes, or specific medications, such as PCSK9 inhibitors.
  3. Genetic Risk Assessment: Lp(a) levels are primarily inherited, making testing useful for family screening and early intervention.
  4. Guides Preventive Strategies: Since Lp(a) levels tend to remain stable throughout life, early detection enables long-term risk management.
  5. Aids in Predicting Stroke and Aortic Valve Disease Risk: High Lp(a) levels are associated with an increased risk of stroke and calcific aortic valve stenosis.

Who Should Get Tested?

– Individuals with a personal or family history of premature heart disease or stroke.

– People who have high cholesterol despite treatment.

– Those experiencing unexplained cardiovascular disease despite normal cholesterol levels.

– Patients with aortic valve calcification or a family history of this condition.

Description:

The Menopause Hormones Profile is a comprehensive test designed to measure key hormone levels, including Oestradiol, Luteinising Hormone (LH), and Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), to determine if you are experiencing menopause. It also assesses levels of Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH), as thyroid issues can sometimes mimic menopause symptoms.

Menopause is a natural biological process that typically occurs in women between the ages of 45 and 55. During this time, the ovaries stop producing eggs, and levels of hormones like oestrogen and progesterone decline. The significant drop in Oestradiol is primarily responsible for many of the symptoms associated with menopause, which may include:

  • Hot flushes: Sudden sensations of heat or cold in the face, neck, and chest, sometimes accompanied by dizziness.
  • Mood changes: Feelings of low mood, anxiety, mood swings, or reduced self-esteem.
  • Memory and concentration issues (brain fog): Difficulty focusing or recalling information.
  • Sleep problems: Trouble sleeping, often due to night sweats, leading to daytime fatigue and irritability.
  • Palpitations: Noticeable or irregular heartbeats.
  • Headaches and migraines: Worsening or more frequent episodes.
  • Muscle aches and joint pain.
  • Changes in body shape and weight gain.
  • Skin changes: Dryness, itchiness, or increased sensitivity.
  • Reduced sex drive.
  • Vaginal dryness: Discomfort, pain, or itching during sex.
  • Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs).
  • Sensitive teeth, gum pain, or other oral issues.

Additionally, periods may become irregular or heavier before eventually stopping altogether.

Fortunately, Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) can alleviate many of these symptoms for most women. If you’re experiencing menopause-related challenges, it’s worth consulting a doctor to explore treatment options and improve your quality of life.

Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) screens for the presence of specific chromosome disorders in the developing fetus.  The test analyses fragments of cell-free DNA in maternal plasma that have been released from both maternal and placental cells.

By analysing the proportions of cell-free DNA fragments derived from different chromosomes or chromosome regions, NIPT can screen for the presence or absence of specific chromosome disorders.

NIPT is more accurate than first trimester maternal serum screening and ultrasound in identifying pregnancies with or without these disorders.

Our NIPT test is done by the reputable TDL Genetics which uses the NIPT assay VeriSeq NIPT Solution v2, which is manufactured by Illumina and is processed at TDL in London.

In addition, NIPT can also assess fetal sex. This is optional (no additional cost).

 

When to perform NIPT

NIPT should not be performed before a gestational age of 10 weeks. However, it is suitable at any time after that, preferably while there is sufficient time for further investigation or decision-making (should this be required).  

An ultrasound scan is required prior to NIPT to confirm dates and fetal viability, and to check for twins.  Performing first trimester screening before NIPT may provide supplementary information regarding the status of the fetus.

Who is eligible for NIPT? Eligible patients:

  • Women who are at least ten weeks pregnant
  • Women with singleton or twin pregnancies
  • Women with IVF pregnancies and non-IVF pregnancies NIPT is not suitable for patients with:
  • Recent maternal blood transfusion (within the last 4 months)
  • Maternal mosaicism
  • Maternal prior organ transplant/stem cell transplant
  • Maternal copy number variations
  • Chromosomal copy number variations
  • Fetoplacental mosaicism/ confined placental mosaicism
  • Maternal autoimmune disease excluding IVIg treatments
  • Maternal neoplasms (benign and malignant)
  • Pregnancies with fetal demise/vanishing twin Patients with a twin pregnancy are not eligible for the sex chromosome aneuploidy component of the screen.

Reporting results

Results will be ready within 2–4 business days upon receipt of sample in the laboratory.

Example report

A high probability NIPT result should always be confirmed by amniocentesis or CVS before making any decision regarding subsequent management of the pregnancy.

Testosterone is arguably the world’s most talked-about hormone, yet there’s far less awareness about the methods used to test its levels. Immunoassay techniques are commonly employed to measure testosterone and are considered reliable for many standard applications. However, while widely accepted, this approach is not without limitations. Immunoassays can be prone to analytical interference and cross-reactivity with biologically similar compounds, which can result in an overestimation of circulating testosterone levels.

For greater accuracy, particularly when measuring lower testosterone levels in women, children, and hypogonadal men, tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is the preferred method. This technique offers superior specificity, ensuring precise and reliable results.

The British Menopause Society recommends LC-MS/MS for measuring total testosterone levels. This method is advised to rule out high baseline concentrations before initiating treatment and to ensure testosterone levels remain within the female physiological range during supplementation monitoring. For further details, refer to the BMS guidelines: Read the guidance.
