Goals and conditions
Start from what you want to check, such as iron deficiency or heart health, and find the primary and companion biomarkers a named guideline or study connects to it.
Health goals
A hemoglobin concentration below the level expected for age, sex and pregnancy status, from any cause.
4 biomarkers
Average and fasting blood glucose as diabetes guidelines measure them for screening, diagnosis and treatment goals.
2 biomarkers
The blood tests NICE uses to exclude other medical causes when debilitating, persistent fatigue suggests ME/CFS.
13 biomarkers
Cardiovascular risk as lipid and inflammation guidelines assess it: the cholesterol-carrying lipoproteins, triglycerides and markers that refine risk.
6 biomarkers
Low-grade systemic inflammation as measured by high-sensitivity C-reactive protein for cardiovascular risk assessment.
1 biomarker
Low body iron stores, with or without anemia, as measured by serum ferritin and the related iron tests.
3 biomarkers
How well the kidneys filter blood and hold back protein, as kidney guidelines measure it with estimated GFR and urine albumin.
4 biomarkers
Liver injury, bile flow and synthetic function as the common liver chemistry tests measure them.
6 biomarkers
Testosterone and the pituitary hormones that control it, as measured when male hypogonadism is evaluated.
4 biomarkers
How much thyroid hormone the thyroid makes, as measured first by TSH and then by free thyroid hormones and antibodies.
4 biomarkers
Vitamin B12 and folate status, two B vitamins needed to make red blood cells and keep nerves working.
4 biomarkers
Vitamin D status for bone health, measured as serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D, with calcium and parathyroid hormone in context.
3 biomarkers
Conditions
Each condition shows its ICD-10-CM code.
Celiac diseaseK90.0
An immune reaction to gluten that damages the small intestine; diagnosis starts with blood antibody tests.
4 biomarkers
Abnormal kidney structure or function present for at least 3 months, staged by GFR category and albuminuria category.
3 biomarkers
GoutM10.9
Inflammatory arthritis caused by urate crystals; treatment guidelines set a serum urate target.
1 biomarker
Hereditary hemochromatosisE83.110
An inherited condition, most often from HFE gene variants, in which the body absorbs and stores too much iron.
4 biomarkers
HypercholesterolemiaE78.00
Raised blood cholesterol carried in LDL particles; LDL-C of 190 mg/dL or higher is classed as severe primary hypercholesterolemia.
4 biomarkers
HyperthyroidismE05.90
An overactive thyroid causing thyrotoxicosis, too much thyroid hormone in the body.
3 biomarkers
HypothyroidismE03.9
An underactive thyroid that makes too little thyroid hormone.
3 biomarkers
Anemia caused by too little iron to make hemoglobin; guidelines confirm iron deficiency with serum ferritin.
2 biomarkers
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD)K76.0
Fat in the liver together with at least one cardiometabolic risk factor, formerly called nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
7 biomarkers
Metabolic syndromeE88.810
A cluster of five cardiometabolic risk factors (waist, triglycerides, HDL-C, blood pressure and fasting glucose); any three make the diagnosis.
3 biomarkers
PrediabetesR73.03
Blood glucose above normal but below the diabetes threshold, defined by A1C, fasting glucose or a glucose tolerance test.
2 biomarkers
Type 2 diabetesE11.9
Diabetes from progressive loss of insulin secretion, usually with insulin resistance, diagnosed by A1C or plasma glucose.
4 biomarkers
Too little vitamin B12 for normal blood cell production and nerve function, with or without anemia.
2 biomarkers
Vitamin D deficiencyE55.9
Low vitamin D status, assessed by serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D; the thresholds used to define it differ between guidelines.
2 biomarkers
