MCU results usually contain a number of "markers" (parameters) that measure different aspects of health. Here is a general overview of some of the ones that show up most often. The aim is to help you recognize the terms — not to assess your own condition. The exact numbers, and what they mean for you, still need to be read together with a doctor, because reference ranges differ between laboratories.

Blood sugar (glucose)

Often tested in a fasting state. It gives a rough picture of how the body manages sugar. Consistently high values are usually a reason for follow-up testing related to diabetes risk — but a single result on its own is not enough to conclude anything.

Lipid profile (cholesterol)

This usually includes several numbers:

  • Total cholesterol — the overall amount.
  • LDL — often called "bad" cholesterol because high levels are linked with the risk of blocked blood vessels.
  • HDL — "good" cholesterol, which is more protective.
  • Triglycerides — another type of fat in the blood.

The lipid profile relates to the health of the heart and blood vessels, and is best assessed as a whole rather than from a single number.

Blood pressure

Written as two numbers (systolic/diastolic), for example 120/80 mmHg. Blood pressure can rise and fall due to activity, stress, or caffeine, so a good assessment usually needs more than one measurement.

Liver and kidney function

Markers such as SGOT/SGPT give a picture of the liver, while urea and creatinine relate to the kidneys. Values outside the range can be influenced by many temporary factors and need clinical context to be interpreted.

Other common markers

  • Uric acid — high levels are sometimes linked with joint pain complaints in some people.
  • Hemoglobin — part of the blood test, related to the blood's ability to carry oxygen.

The bottom line

Each marker is only one piece of the picture. What matters is the overall pattern, your health history, and interpretation by a medical professional. If any result worries you, don't draw your own conclusions — consult a 20FIT doctor for an explanation suited to your condition.
