HS CRP

Insights Insights

The HS CRP level is high. This indicates an increased level of C-reactive protein, which is a marker of inflammation in the body. Research shows that elevated HS CRP levels may be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and other chronic conditions. It's recommended that you discuss these results with your doctor to further evaluate the underlying cause of the inflammation and determine appropriate treatment options.
HS CRP
high
5.6 mg/L

Note: Reference Range Optimal <1.0 Jellinger PS et al. Endocr Pract.2017;23(Suppl 2):1-87. For ages >17 Years: hs-CRP mg/L Risk According to AHA/CDC Guidelines <1.0 Lower relative cardiovascular risk. 1.0-3.0 Average relative cardiovascular risk. 3.1-10.0 Higher relative cardiovascular risk. Consider retesting in 1 to 2 weeks to exclude a benign transient elevation in the baseline CRP value secondary to infection or inflammation. >10.0 Persistent elevation, upon retesting, may be associated with infection and inflammation.

GGT

Insights Insights

Your GGT levels are normal. GGT stands for gamma-glutamyl transferase, which is an enzyme found in the liver. Research shows that GGT levels can indicate liver function and can be elevated in conditions such as liver disease, alcohol abuse, or certain medications. However, since your GGT levels are within the normal range, it suggests that your liver is functioning properly. It's recommended that you continue to maintain a healthy lifestyle and avoid excessive alcohol consumption to help keep your liver in good health.

Insights Insights

Lipid Panel

Insights Insights

I am pleased to inform you that your lipid panel is within the normal range. Your HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL-cholesterol, CHOL/HDLC ratio, non HDL cholesterol, and total cholesterol are all normal. This is great news as it indicates that your cholesterol levels are within a healthy range for your age and sex group. Research shows that maintaining healthy cholesterol levels is important for overall cardiovascular health. High levels of cholesterol, especially LDL-cholesterol, can increase your risk of heart disease. On the other hand, low levels of HDL cholesterol, often referred to as "good" cholesterol, can also be a risk factor for heart disease. Therefore, it's recommended that you continue to focus on lifestyle factors that support healthy cholesterol levels, such as following a balanced diet, engaging in regular physical activity, and avoiding smoking. Keep in mind that while your lipid panel results are normal, it's important to consider other factors that may contribute to your overall health. If you have any concerns or questions, I encourage you to discuss them with your healthcare provider. They will be able to provide you with personalized guidance and address any specific concerns you may have. Overall, congratulations on your healthy lipid panel results! By maintaining a healthy lifestyle, you are taking important steps towards promoting your cardiovascular well-being.

What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're concerned about your heart health, struggling with weight management, or experiencing persistent fatigue. It helps identify metabolic syndrome—a cluster of conditions that increase your risk for heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. Many people use this test when they want to understand hidden factors affecting their weight, energy levels, and overall cardiovascular wellness.

How should I prepare for this test?

Fasting: 9-12 hours

You'll need to fast for 9-12 hours before your blood draw—this means no food or drinks except water. Try to maintain your normal diet and stable weight for about a week before testing. If possible, avoid testing within 3 months after a heart attack, severe infection, or major illness, as these can temporarily affect your results. Consult your doctor before stopping any medications, though some may need to be paused for 3-4 weeks if medically appropriate.

What's included in this test?

Hs CRP GGT Glucose

This panel measures Total Cholesterol, LDL Cholesterol, HDL Cholesterol, Non-HDL Cholesterol, Triglycerides, Chol/HDL Ratio, Glucose, High-Sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP), and Gamma Glutamyl Transpeptidase (GGT). Together, these biomarkers provide a comprehensive evaluation of your cardiovascular risk, blood sugar control, inflammation levels, and liver health. The lipid panel reveals how well your body manages cholesterol and fats, glucose shows your diabetes risk, hs-CRP indicates inflammation that can damage arteries, and GGT helps assess liver function which plays a key role in metabolism.

What happens after I get my results?
You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your cholesterol, glucose, and inflammation markers mean for your heart health and metabolism. These notes include personalized recommendations like dietary adjustments, exercise guidance, or whether you should follow up with a cardiologist. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your metabolic markers over time using our trends feature to see how lifestyle changes are improving your health.
Who should consider getting this test?
This test is important for anyone with risk factors like excess belly fat, high blood pressure, family history of heart disease or diabetes, or a sedentary lifestyle. It's especially valuable if you're experiencing unexplained weight gain, constant fatigue, or have been told you're pre-diabetic. People over 40, those managing chronic stress, or anyone wanting a baseline assessment of their metabolic and cardiovascular health should consider this comprehensive panel.
What symptoms indicate I may need this test?
Common signs include persistent fatigue that doesn't improve with rest, difficulty losing weight despite diet and exercise efforts, increased thirst or frequent urination, and feeling sluggish after meals. Other indicators include high blood pressure, darkened skin patches (especially around the neck), irregular periods in women, or a family history of diabetes or heart disease.
How can I naturally support my metabolic health?
Focus on a balanced diet rich in vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats while limiting processed foods and added sugars. Regular physical activity—aiming for at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise weekly—helps improve insulin sensitivity and cholesterol levels. Prioritizing 7-9 hours of quality sleep, managing stress through mindfulness or meditation, and maintaining a healthy weight are also crucial for metabolic wellness.
What is metabolic syndrome and why does it matter?
Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions—including high blood pressure, elevated blood sugar, excess belly fat, and abnormal cholesterol levels—that occur together and significantly increase your risk of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. It's essentially a warning sign that your body's metabolism isn't functioning optimally, often due to insulin resistance. The good news is that lifestyle changes can often reverse or manage metabolic syndrome before it progresses to more serious conditions.
What does high triglycerides mean?
High triglycerides indicate your body is storing excess fat in your bloodstream, often due to consuming too many calories, especially from sugar, alcohol, and refined carbs. Elevated levels increase your risk of heart disease and can contribute to fatty liver disease and pancreatitis. They're commonly associated with insulin resistance, obesity, and sedentary lifestyle.
How often should I retest my metabolic markers?
If your results show metabolic syndrome or pre-diabetes, retesting every 3-6 months helps track your progress as you make lifestyle changes. For those with normal results but risk factors like family history or being overweight, annual testing is recommended. If you're actively treating metabolic conditions with diet, exercise, or medication, your healthcare provider may want to monitor your progress every 3-4 months initially.

What this means

Your triglyceride level is elevated above the optimal range, which increases your risk for heart disease and may indicate insulin resistance. High triglycerides often result from consuming too many calories, particularly from sugars and refined carbohydrates, and can contribute to fatty deposits in your arteries.

Recommended actions

Reduce intake of added sugars, refined carbs, and limit alcohol consumption

Increase omega-3 rich foods like salmon, mackerel, and walnuts

Add 30 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise most days of the week

Retest in 3-6 months after implementing dietary and lifestyle changes

* Regular blood test results (e.g., CBC) typically start arriving the next business day after sample collection. More complex tests, such as hormone panels, may take up to 10–15 business days due to their complexity.
