Biomarker guides
Every marker on your blood test, explained.
The Wolfburgh panel reports 17 markers across seven systems: 13 measured directly and 4 calculated from them. Each guide answers what the marker measures, what a high or low result usually means, the normal ranges, what moves it and when to speak to your doctor, with every source listed.
Cholesterol & Heart Health
Total CholesterolTotal cholesterol is the combined amount of cholesterol in your blood, including LDL ('bad') and HDL ('good') cholesterol.
HDL CholesterolHDL cholesterol (high-density lipoprotein) is the 'good' cholesterol: it picks up extra cholesterol in the blood and carries it to the liver.
LDL CholesterolLDL cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein) is the 'bad' cholesterol that can build up in artery walls and narrow them.
TriglyceridesTriglycerides are a type of fat in your blood that your body uses for energy.
VLDL CholesterolCalculatedVLDL cholesterol is the cholesterol carried in very-low-density lipoproteins, the triglyceride-rich particles your liver releases into the blood.
LDL to HDL RatioCalculatedThe LDL to HDL ratio is your LDL cholesterol divided by your HDL cholesterol.
Triglyceride to HDL RatioCalculatedThe triglyceride to HDL ratio is your triglyceride result divided by your HDL cholesterol result.
Total Cholesterol to HDL RatioCalculatedThe total cholesterol to HDL ratio is your total cholesterol divided by your HDL cholesterol.

Liver Function
ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase)ALT (alanine aminotransferase) is an enzyme found mainly inside liver cells, so a blood test for it is a direct marker of liver cell stress.
AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase)AST (aspartate aminotransferase) is an enzyme found in the liver, heart and skeletal muscle, kidneys, brain and red blood cells.
Proteins
Vitamins & Hormones
Vitamin D (25-Hydroxy)A vitamin D blood test measures 25-hydroxyvitamin D, the main circulating form and the most accurate guide to whether you have enough.
TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone)TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) is made by the pituitary gland and tells the thyroid how much hormone to produce.
These guides are general information, not medical advice, and they do not replace a consultation with your own doctor. Ranges vary between laboratories; the range printed on your own report takes priority.
