Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) is an enzyme primarily found in the liver that plays a crucial role in protein metabolism and other vital metabolic processes. Elevated ALT levels in the blood may indicate liver cell damage or inflammation, making it a key marker for evaluating liver health.

ALT (SGPT)

Citramalate, also referred to as citramalic acid, is a compound measurable as a urinary marker to evaluate metabolic health. It is produced as a metabolic byproduct and may indicate bacterial imbalance or overgrowth in the gut. Elevated levels can also signal potential disruptions in normal metabolic functions.

Transferrin saturation measures the percentage of transferrin—a blood protein that carries iron—that is actually bound to iron. It helps evaluate how efficiently iron is transported and utilized in the body. This marker is useful for detecting iron deficiency or iron overload and is usually calculated using serum iron and total iron-binding capacity (TIBC). Low levels may indicate iron deficiency, while high levels can point to conditions such as hemochromatosis.

Transferrin Saturation

Hematuria, or blood in the urine, is a finding that indicates the presence of red blood cells in the urine. It may be visible, giving the urine a pink, red, or cola-like color, or microscopic, detectable only through laboratory testing. This condition can result from a wide range of causes, from minor issues to serious underlying diseases.

Carnitine is a naturally occurring compound that plays a vital role in energy metabolism. It transports long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are broken down to generate energy, and helps eliminate metabolic waste from cells. Although the body can produce carnitine in the liver and kidneys, it is also obtained from dietary sources, mainly animal-based foods.

Carnitine

Beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) is a ketone body that indicates the body’s transition to using fat as its main energy source. Produced by the liver from fatty acids during fasting, carbohydrate restriction, or intense exercise, BHB offers an alternative energy source—especially for the brain—when glucose is scarce. It serves as a key marker of ketosis, a metabolic state linked to fat metabolism.

Beta-hydroxybutyrate

Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) is an enzyme found in the liver, heart, muscles, and other tissues. It is released into the bloodstream when cells are damaged, making it a useful marker for assessing liver injury and other tissue damage. Elevated AST levels are often seen in liver conditions such as hepatitis or fatty liver disease but can also indicate muscle injury or heart disease. AST is typically interpreted together with alanine aminotransferase (ALT) to better evaluate the type and extent of liver damage.

Aspartate aminotransferase (AST)

Transferrin is a blood protein responsible for binding and transporting iron throughout the body. It plays a key role in maintaining iron balance by delivering iron to tissues and storing excess iron in a safe form. Transferrin levels typically increase when iron stores are low and decrease when iron stores are high or in cases of chronic illness. Measuring transferrin provides important insights into iron metabolism and related disorders.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the USA. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

Absolutely perfect, results came after few days and finally after a lots of times visited GP, we finally know why my son has eczema - he is allergy to carrot. Thanks a lot.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
