Detox Profile Plus LIS Code: SP43
Comprehensive detox blood test assessing liver, kidney, and heart function. Includes HbA1c, cholesterol, electrolytes, and iron to monitor your overall health.
What's included in this profile
- An enzyme found mainly in the liver
- Raised levels can indicate liver inflammation or damage
- Commonly checked alongside AST to assess liver health
- An enzyme found in the liver, bone and bile ducts
- Raised levels can point to liver, bile duct or bone conditions
- Interpreted alongside other liver markers for context
- An enzyme found in the liver, heart and muscles
- Raised levels can suggest liver or muscle damage
- Used alongside ALT to help pinpoint the cause of liver stress
- A waste product from normal muscle breakdown, filtered by the kidneys
- Raised levels can indicate reduced kidney function
- Used to calculate eGFR (estimated kidney filtration rate)
- Measures red cells, white cells and platelets
- A foundational test for overall health, anaemia and infection
- The 'Differential' breaks white cells down by specific type
- An enzyme sensitive to liver and bile duct problems
- Often raised with alcohol intake or bile flow issues
- Helps confirm whether a raised ALP is liverrelated
- Often called 'good' cholesterol
- Helps remove excess cholesterol from the bloodstream
- Higher levels are generally protective for heart health
- Reflects average blood sugar levels over the past 23 months
- The main test used to diagnose and monitor diabetes
- Not affected by what you ate that day, unlike glucose
- Often called 'bad' cholesterol
- Can build up in artery walls, raising heart disease risk
- A key target for lifestyle or treatment intervention
- A mineral involved in muscle, nerve and heart function
- Low levels can cause cramps, fatigue or irregular heartbeat
- Often checked alongside other electrolytes
- A key electrolyte important for heart and muscle function
- Abnormal levels can affect heart rhythm and need prompt attention
- Closely linked to kidney function
- The amount of iron currently circulating in the blood
- Fluctuates through the day, so interpreted alongside ferritin
- Low levels can contribute to irondeficiency anaemia
- A key electrolyte that regulates fluid balance
- Abnormal levels can reflect kidney, hormonal or hydration issues
- Commonly checked as part of a routine metabolic panel
- A breakdown product of old red blood cells, processed by the liver
- Raised levels can cause jaundice (yellowing of skin/eyes)
- Helps assess liver function and red cell turnover
- The overall amount of cholesterol in the blood
- A key marker for cardiovascular risk
- Interpreted alongside HDL, LDL and triglycerides
- A type of fat found in the blood, from food and the liver
- Raised levels are linked to heart disease and metabolic conditions
- Affected by diet, alcohol and blood sugar control
- A waste product from protein breakdown, filtered by the kidneys
- Raised levels can indicate reduced kidney function or dehydration
- Interpreted alongside creatinine for a fuller picture
About this profile
Detox Plus Profile
The Detox Plus Profile provides an in-depth analysis of your body’s detoxification capacity, organ performance, and overall metabolic health. It is designed to evaluate how well your liver and kidneys are functioning, assess your cardiovascular risk factors, and monitor the effects of diet, lifestyle, and environmental influences on your body.
Tests Included
Metabolic Health:
HbA1c (Glycated Hemoglobin): Measures average blood glucose levels over the past 2–3 months to screen for diabetes or prediabetes.
Urea & Creatinine: Assess kidney performance and filtration efficiency. Elevated levels may indicate reduced kidney function.
Electrolytes (Sodium, Potassium): Help maintain fluid balance and muscle contraction. Imbalances can suggest dehydration or metabolic dysfunction.
Magnesium: Essential for muscle and nerve health, energy metabolism, and maintaining electrolyte balance.
Liver Function & Detoxification:
ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase) & AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase): Evaluate liver cell integrity and detect early signs of liver inflammation or damage.
Gamma-GT (GGT): Indicates bile duct or alcohol-related liver problems.
ALP (Alkaline Phosphatase): Assesses liver and bone health.
Total Bilirubin (TBIL): Monitors bile production and excretion; high levels may indicate liver dysfunction or blockage.
Cardiovascular & Lipid Profile:
Total Cholesterol: Reflects overall cholesterol levels.
HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein): The “good” cholesterol that helps protect heart health.
LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein): The “bad” cholesterol linked to arterial plaque build-up.
Triglycerides: Measure blood fats that can increase with poor diet or insulin resistance.
Hematology:
Full Blood Count (FBC): Examines red and white blood cells and platelets to detect anaemia, infection, or inflammation.
Iron Status:
Serum Iron (Fe): Evaluates iron levels crucial for energy production, red blood cell function, and oxygen transport.
Who should consider this test?
The Detox Plus Profile is ideal for individuals who are:
– Beginning or following a detox or wellness regimen.
– Monitoring the effects of diet, exercise, or alcohol on organ health.
– Experiencing fatigue, bloating, or unexpected weight changes.
– Seeking a comprehensive review of their metabolic, liver, kidney, and cardiovascular health.
