Longevity Medical Institute® Lab Panel vs. Function Health

Test / Biomarker

Function Health LMI

Why It Matters

Homocysteine

Included

Included

Associated with vascular risk, methylation status, and cognitive health.

LDL Particle Number

Included

Not Included Refines cardiovascular risk by estimating the number of LDL particles.

Small LDL Particles

Included

Not Included Small dense LDL particles are more strongly associated with plaque formation.

Medium LDL Particles

Included

Not Included Adds detail to cardiovascular particle risk and lipoprotein patterning.

LDL Peak Size

Included

Not Included Helps characterize LDL particle pattern and cardiometabolic risk.

LDL Pattern

Included

Not Included Identifies more or less atherogenic LDL particle patterns.

Large HDL Particles

Included

Not Included Reflects HDL particle quality and protective function.

Very Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (VLDL)

Not Included

Included

Reflects triglyceride-rich lipoprotein burden and metabolic risk.

D-Dimer

Not Included

Included

Screens for abnormal clotting activity and thrombotic risk.

Creatine Phosphokinase (CPK)

Not Included

Included

Indicates muscle injury, intense training load, or cardiac strain.

Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH)

Not Included

Included

Broad marker of tissue damage, cellular turnover, and systemic stress.

KIDNEY FUNCTION

Test / Biomarker

Function Health LMI

Why It Matters

Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN)

Included

Included

Evaluates kidney function, hydration status, and protein metabolism.

Creatinine

Included

Included

Standard kidney filtration marker influenced by muscle mass and renal function.

Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR)

Included

Included

Estimates kidney filtration efficiency and chronic kidney disease risk.

Uric Acid

Included

Included

Associated with gout, metabolic disease, kidney stress, and cardiovascular risk.

Random Urine Albumin

Included

Included

Detects early kidney or vascular damage, especially in diabetes and hypertension.

LIVER FUNCTION

Test / Biomarker

Function Health LMI

Why It Matters

Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT)

Included

Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST)

Included

Included

Reflects liver, muscle, or systemic tissue injury.

Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT)

Included

Included

Marker of liver stress, oxidative burden, and detoxification demand.

Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP)

Included

Included

Evaluates liver, bile duct, and bone health.

Total Bilirubin

Included

Included

Reflects liver processing function and red blood cell breakdown.

Direct Bilirubin

Not Included

Included

Helps distinguish types of bilirubin elevation and bile flow issues.

Indirect Bilirubin

Not Included

Included

Helps evaluate red blood cell turnover and liver handling.

Albumin

Included

Included

Reflects liver production, nutritional status, and inflammatory balance.

Globulin

Included

Included

Reflects immune protein activity and inflammatory patterns.

Total Protein

Included

Included

Measures overall protein balance, nutrition, and liver/immune status.
