Metabolism is the summary of biochemical processes by which living creatures convert calories in food and beverages into energy. This energy is needed for all physiological processes such as growing, repairing cells, breathing, brain activity and many more.
Metabolic syndrome describes a group of risk factors that raises the risk for heart disease, diabetes and stroke.

Glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids balance stress response, energy flow, body temperature, water balance, and other essential processes.
Renin is especially useful in the diagnosis of hypertension and the differential diagnosis of hyperaldosteronism.

Tumor markers are substances found in the blood, urine, or body tissues that can be elevated in cancer. There are many different tumor markers, each indicative of a particular disease process.
An elevated level of a tumor marker can indicate cancer; however, there can also be other causes of the elevation.

Tumor markers can be used for one of the following purposes:

• Diagnosis (tumor markers alone are not used to diagnose cancer!
• Prognosis
• Monitoring treatment/therapy
• Surveillance
• Screening (for example in high-risk people)
