Beta-2 Glycoprotein Screening
Beta-2 glycoprotein screening completes the antiphospholipid panel. For older adults, comprehensive APS testing helps identify treatable causes of thrombosis.
Bicarbonate
As we age, the kidneys' ability to regulate acid-base balance may change. Monitoring bicarbonate can help ensure metabolic stability and support overall well-being in later years.
Bilirubin (Direct)
Direct bilirubin monitoring is particularly relevant for seniors, as age-related changes in liver function and increased medication use can affect bilirubin metabolism. The risk of gallstones and bile duct conditions also increases with age.
Bilirubin (Total)
Total bilirubin monitoring is especially relevant for seniors, as age-related liver changes and multiple medication use can affect bilirubin processing. Regular testing helps identify liver or bile duct conditions that become more common with advancing age.
Blood Type + Rh
A blood type test determines your ABO blood group and Rh factor. Knowing your blood type is essential for safe blood transfusions, organ transplants, and pregnancy planning.
Borrelia IgG (Lyme Disease)
A Borrelia IgG test detects IgG antibodies against Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterium that causes Lyme disease. A positive result may indicate a past or late-stage infection, as IgG antibodies typically develop several weeks after initial exposure.
Borrelia IgM (Lyme Disease)
A Borrelia IgM test detects IgM antibodies against Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterium responsible for Lyme disease. A positive result may indicate a recent or early-stage infection, as IgM antibodies are typically the first to appear after exposure.
C-Peptide
C-Peptide helps assess pancreatic health and insulin production, which can change with age. Monitoring supports diabetes prevention and metabolic stability in later years.
C3 Complement
C3 Complement testing assesses immune complement function. For older adults, complement levels provide insight into immune status and help monitor autoimmune conditions.
CA 15-3
CA 15-3 is a protein associated with breast tissue. For older adults, monitoring markers such as CA 15-3 alongside a comprehensive health assessment can be a valuable part of proactive ageing. Elevated levels are often caused by benign conditions.
CA 19-9
CA 19-9 is a gastrointestinal marker that can be monitored as part of a comprehensive health assessment for older adults. As we age, the risk of gastrointestinal conditions increases, making periodic monitoring a sensible part of proactive health management.
CA 72-4
CA 72-4 is a gastric marker that can be monitored as part of a comprehensive health assessment for older adults. The risk of gastric conditions increases with age.
CA-125
A CA-125 test is a gentle yet valuable part of age-appropriate health monitoring. As we age, working closely with your healthcare provider to understand markers like CA-125 supports a proactive approach to your well-being. Elevated levels can have many explanations, and this test is most meaningful when combined with regular check-ups and other clinical assessments. This test alone cannot diagnose cancer and should always be discussed with your healthcare provider.
CEA (Carcinoembryonic Antigen)
CEA is a broad tumor marker that can be monitored as part of a comprehensive health assessment for older adults. The risk of colorectal and other conditions increases with age, making periodic monitoring a practical part of proactive ageing.
CK-MB
CK-MB helps detect heart muscle issues that may become more relevant with age. Monitoring supports proactive cardiac health management in later years.
CMV IgG
A CMV IgG test detects IgG antibodies against cytomegalovirus (CMV) in your blood. A positive result typically indicates a past CMV infection and suggests that your immune system has developed long-term immunity to the virus.
CMV IgM
A CMV IgM test detects IgM antibodies against cytomegalovirus (CMV) in your blood. A positive result may indicate a recent or active CMV infection, as IgM antibodies are typically the first to appear after initial exposure to the virus.
CRP (C-Reactive Protein)
Chronic low-grade inflammation tends to increase with age. Monitoring CRP supports awareness and management of inflammation-related health risks in later life.
Calcium
Calcium is vital for maintaining bone density as you age. Regular monitoring supports fracture prevention and helps maintain mobility and independence in later years.
Ceruloplasmin
Ceruloplasmin helps transport copper and supports iron metabolism. Monitoring these functions can contribute to healthy ageing and maintaining cognitive well-being.
Chloride
Maintaining proper chloride balance becomes important as kidney function may change with age. Regular testing supports fluid balance and overall metabolic stability.
Cholesterol/HDL Ratio
The cholesterol/HDL ratio is your total cholesterol divided by your HDL. Cardiovascular risk tends to rise with age, and a lower ratio points to a more favourable profile. Learn what your value can mean.
Citrate
Urinary citrate monitoring is valuable for older adults, as kidney stone risk can increase with age. Age-related changes in metabolism, medication use, and dietary habits may all affect citrate levels and stone formation risk.
Complete Blood Count (CBC)
A complete blood count (CBC) is a comprehensive blood test that evaluates the major components of your blood: red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. It is one of the most commonly ordered blood tests and provides a broad overview of your overall health.
