Currently, C-reactive protein is not recommended as a cardiovascular disease screening test for average-risk adults without symptoms. [58] The American Heart Association and U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have defined risk groups as follows: [59] [26] Low Risk: less than 1.0 mg/L; Average risk: 1.0 to 3.0 mg/L; High risk: above ...
CRP C-Reactive Protein: Level of inflammation with the body. If the immune system is fighting an infection or illness, CRP will be higher. CBC (UK: FBC) Complete Blood Count (UK: Full Blood Count) Analysis of 15 different blood test readings to provide information about overall health. TSH Thyroid-stimulating hormone

A new approach to a routine blood test could predict a person’s 30-year risk of heart disease, research published Saturday in the New England Journal of Medicine found.
Serum albumin accounts for 55% of blood proteins, [1] is a major contributor to maintaining the oncotic pressure of plasma and assists, as a carrier, in the transport of lipids and steroid hormones. Globulins make up 38% of blood proteins and transport ions , hormones, and lipids assisting in immune function .
The CPK-MB test (creatine phosphokinase-MB), also known as CK-MB test, is a cardiac marker [3] used to assist diagnoses of an acute myocardial infarction, myocardial ischemia, or myocarditis. It measures the blood level of CK-MB (creatine kinase myocardial band), the bound combination of two variants (isoenzymes CKM and CKB ) of the enzyme ...
The comprehensive metabolic panel, or chemical screen (CMP; CPT code 80053), is a panel of 14 blood tests that serves as an initial broad medical screening tool. The CMP provides a rough check of kidney function, liver function, diabetic and parathyroid status, and electrolyte and fluid balance, but this type of screening has its limitations.
Serum total protein, also known as total protein, is a clinical chemistry parameter representing the concentration of protein in serum. [1] Serum contains many proteins including serum albumin, a variety of globulins, and many others. While it is possible to analyze these proteins individually, total protein is a relatively quick and ...
