Sodium: Maintains fluid balance and is critical for heart, nerve, and muscle function.
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH): Evaluates thyroid function, important for metabolism.
Total Bilirubin: An indicator of liver health and bile function.
Total Protein: Assesses protein levels in the blood, important for body functions.
Transferrin Saturation: A measure of iron transport capacity.
Urea: Provides insights into kidney function and protein metabolism.
UIBC - Unsaturated Iron Binding Capacity: Evaluates iron binding capacity, helping to diagnose iron-related disorders.
Uric Acid: Can indicate risks for gout and kidney health.
