Advanced Biomarker Blood Testing

A 50-plus biomarker laboratory panel covering standard metabolic and haematological markers, advanced lipid profiling (ApoB, Lp(a), CardioIQ), inflammation markers, nutritional status, cancer markers, infectious disease screens, immune panels, and optional genetic tests including the Galleri multi-cancer ctDNA test and Alzheimer's biomarkers. Tests are ordered à la carte or bundled within screening packages.

Memorial Longevity Clinic's blood testing service in Houston goes far beyond a standard annual blood draw. The clinic's physicians can order more than 50 individual biomarkers across every major health domain, making it one of the most thorough diagnostic blood-testing options available in the Houston metropolitan area without a hospital referral. Foundation panels include a complete blood count, comprehensive metabolic panel, HbA1c for glycaemic control, full thyroid function (TSH, free T3, free T4), urinalysis, coagulation screen, and blood typing. Nutritional status is assessed through iron studies with ferritin, vitamin D, B12, folate, omega-3 index, magnesium, and vitamins C, E, and K. For metabolic and cardiovascular risk, the clinic uses advanced CardioIQ lipid fractionation measuring ApoB, Lp(a), and particle size — markers that standard lipid panels miss but that have strong predictive value for cardiovascular events. Inflammatory burden is quantified via hs-CRP, homocysteine, and uric acid. Insulin resistance panels, NT-proBNP for cardiac stress, GGT, lactic acid, and creatine kinase round out the metabolic picture. Cancer surveillance is supported by PSA, CEA, CA-125, CA 27.29, CA 19-9, AFP, and HCG tumour markers, plus the Galleri multi-cancer early-detection ctDNA test and Cologuard for colorectal risk. Genetic panels include BRCA1/2, CHEK2, ATM, and 78 additional hereditary cancer genes, along with MTHFR and Alzheimer's risk markers (beta amyloid 42/40, p-tau 217, ApoE). Houston patients seeking proactive, data-driven health management will find this depth of testing difficult to match locally at comparable convenience.
