Tests Included with Each "Life Extension Panel":

1. Chemistry Panel/CBC
   
This test requires fasting.
This panel is a comprehensive blood evaluation including the following 35 tests:
• Glucose, fasting: This test directly measures glucose levels and is commonly used in the evaluation of diabetes.
• Uric acid: This test is used in the evaluation of gout or recurrent urinary calculi.
• BUN (blood urea nitrogen): This test is used to measure liver function and indirectly to assess renal function and glomerular filtration rate.
• Creatinine: This is a renal function test used to estimate glomerular filtration rate, and follow progression of renal disease.
• BUN/Creatinine ratio: This test is used to diagnose impaired renal function. With creatinine, BUN is used to monitor individuals on dialysis.
• Sodium: This routine test is used to evaluate and monitor fluid and electrolyte balance and therapy.
• Potassium: This routine test is used to evaluate and monitor electrolyte balance and is especially important for cardiac individuals.
• Chloride: This test by itself does not provide adequate information. However, as part of a multiphasic testing for electrolytes it can give an indication of acid-base balance and hydrational status.
• Calcium: This test is used to evaluate parathyroid function and calcium metabolism.
• Phosphorus: This test is used to measure serum phosphorus. An imbalance could indicate the possibility of any number of conditions.
• Protein/Albumin/Globulin: This test is used to assist in the detection of many diseases that affect blood proteins as a whole or one single fraction of protein.
• Albumin/Globulin Ratio: This test is used to evaluate renal disease and other chronic disease.
• Bilirubin: This test is used to evaluate liver function
• Alkaline Phosphatase: This test is used to detect and monitor liver and/or bone disease.
• LDH (Lactic dehydrogenase): This test measures the intracellular enzyme LDH which, when present in the blood, can support the detection of injury or disease.
• AST (SGOT): This test is used to evaluate the possibility of coronary occlusive heart disease or liver disease.
• ALT (SGPT): This test is used to identify liver disease and to distinguish between the liver and red blood cell hemolysis as the source of jaundice.
• Iron: This test is used to evaluate many disease including iron deficiency anemia and hemochromatosis.
• Cholesterol: This test is used to determine the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) and hyperlipidemias.
• Triglycerides: This test is used to identify the risk of developing coronary heart disease or if fat metabolism disorders are suspected.
• HDL Cholesterol: This test measures alpha lipoprotein and is used to predict heart disease.
• LDL Cholesterol: This test measures beta lipoproteins and is used to predict heart disease.
• Total Cholesterol/HDL Ratio: This test is used to determine the risk for coronary heart disease.
• CBC (complete blood count) with platelets and differential: This is a series of tests of the peripheral blood which provides a variety of information about the blood components. This series includes the following tests:
  • Red blood cell count
  • Hemoglobin
    
  • Hematocrit
    
  • Red blood cell indices
    
  • Mean corpuscular hemoglobin
    
  • Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration
    
  • Red blood cell distribution
    
  • White blood cell count
    
  • Differential count
    
  • Platelet count
2. Free Testosterone
This test is used to evaluate function in clinical states where the testosterone binding proteins may be altered (obesity, cirrhosis, thyroid disorders).
3. Testosterone, Total
This test is used to evaluate gonadal and adrenal function. It is also helpful in diagnosing hypogonadism, hypopituitarism, Klinefelter's syndrome and impotence.
4. Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) Sulfate
This test is used to identify the source of excessive androgen (hirsutism and/or virilization), and in the identification of adrenocortical disease including congenital adrenal hyperplasia and adrenal tumors.
5. a - Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) (Males)
PSA is produced by normal, hyperplastic, and cancerous prostatic tissue. Serum PSA has been found to be the most sensitive marker for monitoring individuals with prostate cancer and to enhance efficacy in monitoring progression of disease and response to therapy.
b - Progesterone (Females)
This test is used to establish the presence of a functional corpeus luteum or luteal cell function, confirm body temperature for occurrence of ovulation, obtain indication of day of ovulation, evaluate the functional state of corpeus luteum in experiencing infertility, assess placental function during pregnancy, and evaluate ovarian function.
6. Estradiol
This test is used to assess hypothalamic and pituitary functions. In males it is helpful in the assessment of gynecomastia or feminization syndromes. In females it is helpful in the ssessment of menopausal status and sexual maturity.
7. Homocysteine
Homocysteine has been shown to be an independent risk factor for the premature development of coronary artery disease and thrombosis. This test is intended for use in screening individuals who may be at risk for heart disease and stroke. Studies have shown that even moderate levels of homocysteine pose an increased risk for arteriosclerosis compared with the lowest 20th percentile (<7.2 mcmol/L) of population controls.
8. C-reactive protein (Cardiac) (High sensitivity)
This test is used to assess risk of cardiovascular and peripheral vascular disease.
