Anaemia markers

Anaemia Markers represent essential indicators to diagnose and monitor anaemia. These markers can provide insights into iron storage and utilisation within the body, helping to determine potential deficiencies or imbalances.

Biomarkers:

Iron Total Iron Binding Ferritin

Inflammation markers

Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) provides insights into ongoing inflammatory processes.

Biomarkers:

ESR

Thyroid Function

Free Thyroxine (FT4) and Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) are important health markers for evaluating thyroid function. Their measurements offer insights into the thyroid gland's function and help diagnose conditions like hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism.
