Preparation: Fast for 12 hours (no food or drink, except water).
If you’re taking a supplement containing biotin (also called vitamin B7 or B8, vitamin H or coenzyme R), commonly found in products promoting nail, skin and hair health, we recommend that you wait at least 72 hours from your last dose before taking the test.
If you are still menstruating, it is recommended to test on day 3 of your menstrual cycle (cycle day 1 is the first day of your period). If you have no menstrual cycle or have irregular menstrual cycles, you can test at any time.
This cholesterol and lipid panel measures both LDL and HDL cholesterol levels to help you get a better picture of your heart health.
Lipids are microscopic fatty substances (including cholesterol and triglycerides) within your body. Assessing them can reveal much about your overall health. For example, high levels of “bad” LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol can build up in the walls of your arteries, increasing your risk for heart disease. Conversely, high levels of “good” HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol can remove LDL cholesterol from your body, reducing your risk for heart disease.
High cholesterol usually has no symptoms, meaning you may have high cholesterol without knowing it. Knowing your cholesterol numbers is the first step towards a healthy heart and healthy life.
A measure of the total sum of cholesterol (LDL, HDL, and VLDL) circulating in the body.
Measures the amount of LDL cholesterol in the blood. LDL cholesterol is known as the “bad” cholesterol because LDL particles can build up in the walls of your arteries, which increases the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Measures the amount of VLDL cholesterol in blood, the cholesterol carried in particles that also carry triglycerides throughout the body and are then converted to LDL. Elevated VLDL levels can increase your risk of heart disease.
Measures the amount of HDL cholesterol in the blood. HDL is known as "good" cholesterol because it comes from particles that remove "bad "cholesterol from the body, which reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Measures the amount of triglycerides, a type of fat that circulates in your blood and comes from adipose, the primary fat stored from food used to provide your energy. High triglyceride levels can increase the risk of heart disease.
Your blood is perhaps the most essential substance in your body—transporting life-sustaining nutrients, hormones and oxygen all while carrying waste products for removal through the lungs, liver and kidneys. Blood is also your body's most crucial defense against fighting infections.
This complete blood count (CBC) test counts the cells that circulate in your blood, which can provide valuable information to you and your healthcare provider about your overall health. This full blood panel may also be a first step to detecting health conditions such as anemia, inflammation, blood disorders and infection. This panel measures your red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), and platelets. This is a CBC with differential blood test, which also measures the amount of each type of WBCs that you have in your body (neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, basophils, and eosinophils).
Note: A CBC test is not a diagnostic test and cannot confirm any specific illness or disease. Further testing and medical consultation may be required to determine the cause of abnormal results.
Measures the number of red blood cells (erythrocytes). Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, a protein that carries oxygen throughout the body.
Detects the number of white blood cells (leukocytes) in the body, cells that fight off infections and foreign agents that may infect the body.
Measures the amount of hemoglobin in the blood, the oxygen-carrying protein in red blood cells.
Measures the proportion of red blood cells to the fluid component (or plasma) in your blood.
Measures the number of platelets in the blood, the cell components essential for blood clotting.
Measures the percent of white blood cells in an early stage of development which are not usually present in significant amounts in the blood.
Measures the level of monocytes, the type of white blood cells responsible for breaking down germs or bacteria that enter the body.
Measures the level of lymphocytes, the white blood cells that are vital to producing antibodies and helping the body fight against bacteria, viruses, and other threats.
Measures the level of neutrophils, the type of white blood cells that destroy bacteria and fungi and protect the body from infections.
White blood cells in an early stage of development which are not usually present in significant amounts in the blood.
Measures the quantity of eosinophils in the body, a type of disease-fighting white blood cell.
Measures the quantity of basophils in your body, a type of white blood cell produced by bone marrow that helps the body fight parasitic infections, prevents blood clotting, and mediates allergic reactions.
Measures the average size of the red blood cells themselves.
Measures MCH levels, the average amount of hemoglobin found in the red blood cells in the body.
Measures MCHC levels, the average weight of hemoglobin based on the volume of red blood cells.
Measures the variation of size and volume of the body’s red blood cells.
White blood cells in an early stage of development which are not usually present in significant amounts in the blood.
Your metabolism is the life force of all your body’s energy, turning what you eat into the fuel to support vital functions including heart rate, brain function and breathing. A metabolic test can reveal how the pieces involved are working to support your body’s needs.
This comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) blood test measures essential components in your blood (including sugars, minerals, electrolytes, enzymes and waste products) that contribute to your overall health and provide information on the functioning status of your metabolism, liver and kidneys. When reviewed by your healthcare provider, a CMP test with a clinical examination may help detect certain health conditions like diabetes, kidney disease, liver inflammation or electrolyte imbalances.
Note: A CMP panel may reveal results that suggest abnormal thyroid function, but it does not directly measure thyroid function. To assess your thyroid function, consider our Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) Test or the Thyroid Health Blood Test Package, which also provides TSH results.
An electrically charged mineral (electrolyte) that helps regulate fluid and acid-base balance within the body.
A measure of a group of proteins that function to help transport nutrients and help the body fight infections.
A mineral essential to bone and muscle health.
An enzyme found in the cells of the liver and other tissue.
A waste product produced by the liver as it breaks down red blood cells.
A protein waste product removed from the blood by the kidneys.
An electrically charged mineral (electrolyte) necessary for healthy muscle and nerve function that also helps maintain fluid balance.
An electrically charged mineral (electrolyte) vital to a cell’s ability to take in nutrients and remove waste; it is also essential for muscle function and regulating fluid balance.
The primary type of sugar found in your blood.
The total amount of proteins (including albumin) found in the blood that helps determine overall nutritional status.
The main protein that circulates in the blood, which provides tissue nourishment, carries substances (such as hormones and drugs) in the blood, and helps keep fluids within the blood vessels.
A waste product created by the body’s metabolism that helps maintain the body’s acid-base balance (pH) in the form of the electrolyte bicarbonate.
An enzyme found mostly in the cells of the liver and kidney.
An enzyme found in the cells throughout the body but mostly in the cells of the heart and liver.
A muscle-produced waste product filtered out by the kidneys.
A comparison of BUN levels to creatinine levels, two waste products filtered by the kidneys.
A calculation (factored from your serum creatinine level, age, and gender) used to determine your level of kidney function; the higher your eGFR number, the better your kidneys are working; low results may be a sign of kidney disease.
As the hormone responsible for developing and regulating the female reproductive system, estradiol (E2) plays an important role in the menstrual cycle, supporting pregnancy and maintaining reproductive health.
Low estradiol levels can impact your bones, brain, cardiovascular and reproductive health. If you are experiencing symptoms of dry skin, trouble concentrating, hot flashes, mood swings and menstrual changes, you may have low levels of estradiol.
The Labcorp OnDemand Estradiol (E2) Test measures the levels of estradiol in your blood to provide insights into your hormone health.
Note: This test does not diagnose or determine the cause of infertility. It is recommended to consult with a healthcare provider if you have any questions about your result.
Produced by the ovaries, estradiol is the most common type of estrogen. It regulates menstrual cycles in women and helps thicken the lining of the uterus. Estradiol levels fluctuate throughout the menstrual cycle, peak right before ovulation, and drop after ovulation occurs.
Standard glucose tests only measure blood sugar levels at the time the sample is collected. This HbA1c (hemoglobin A1c) test measures your average blood sugar level over an extended period (8-12 weeks) and is a useful tool for screening for prediabetes and diabetes.
Knowing your average blood sugar levels serves as a critical indicator of your health. Consistently elevated blood sugar levels often indicate prediabetes and diabetes: a serious disease that can ultimately affect the health and function of other parts of the body including your nervous system, cardiovascular system, eyes and kidneys.
Measures the average amount of glucose in your blood over an extended period (typically 8-12 weeks).
A free T3 test measures the level of free triiodothyronine (T3) in your blood. T3 is a hormone produced by the thyroid gland that regulates metabolism, energy levels, and other bodily functions. This test measures the level of T3 hormone in the blood that is not bound to proteins, providing a partial assessment of thyroid function. This test helps evaluate whether the thyroid is producing the right amount of T3, which is essential for regulating metabolism and energy levels.
Testing free T3 level can help you and your healthcare provider evaluate symptoms and conditions that may be related to a free T3 level. Free T3 is often evaluated in the context of other thyroid function tests such as thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and free T4 to gain a full picture of your thyroid health.
Free T3, or triiodothyronine, is a hormone produced by the thyroid gland that plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism, heart function and overall energy levels. This test measures the amount of free T3 in the blood, which is the active form not bound to proteins. A free T3 level helps assess thyroid function and evaluate conditions such as hyperthyroidism (too much thyroid hormone) or pituitary disorders. Elevated free T3 levels may indicate an overactive thyroid, which can lead to symptoms such as irregular heartbeat, weight loss, anxiety and fatigue.
Inflammation is part of your body’s natural defense mechanism in response to injury, infection or irritants created to combat and fix the damage or symptom.
This high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) blood inflammation test measures the level of the C-reactive protein: a substance made by the liver in response to inflammation. The results of this inflammation test may indicate the presence of an illness, injury or infection. Elevated CRP levels are associated with several diseases and conditions including chronic inflammation, heart disease, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and cancer.
Note: CRP levels can be elevated from intense exercise (weight training or a long run), recent injury, illnesses or infection. Further testing and clinical consultation with a health care provider may be required to determine the source of CRP elevation.
This test measures (at high sensitivity) the level of C-reactive protein: a substance made by the liver in response to inflammation. Elevated CRP levels are associated with several diseases and conditions including chronic inflammation, heart disease, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and cancer.
The thyroid gland is located at the base of your neck and produces a hormone that influences every cell, tissue, and organ in the body. It may be small, but it can have a big impact on your health and wellbeing, influencing how fast your heart beats, how quickly your body burns calories and even your mood and fertility.
The Standard Thyroid Test measures both thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and Free T4 (thyroxine) in your blood to assess thyroid function. It screens for specific thyroid health conditions such as underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) and overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism).
A hormone produced by the thyroid gland that is responsible for regulating body temperature, heart rate, and metabolism.
Measures the levels of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in the blood to evaluate thyroid function. TSH is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland and stimulates the thyroid gland to produce T4 (thyroxine) and T3 (triiodothyronine), two hormones that play critical roles in controlling the body’s metabolism.
Vitamin D is both a nutrient you eat as well as a hormone that's produced by your skin in response to sunlight exposure. It plays a significant role in bone health by helping regulate calcium and phosphorus, which are essential minerals that work together to build strong bones. Vitamin D also has a role in your nerve, muscle and immune systems, as well as your mental health.
This vitamin D blood test evaluates 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-D): the best measure of how much vitamin D is stored in your body. A prolonged deficiency in vitamin D has been shown to lead to fatigue, bone pain and even depression.
Discover your nutritional status with the Micronutrient Test. Measure essential vitamins and minerals like vitamin D, B12, folate, magnesium, iodine and zinc to get a bigger picture of your health.
Labcorp OnDemand’s Vitamin D Test measures the level of 25-hydroxy vitamin D in your blood. Vitamin D helps your body regulate calcium metabolism which in turn helps maintain healthy bones, control infections, reduce inflammation and more. Your skin produces vitamin D through sunlight exposure. Vitamin D is also found in foods such as fatty fish, mushrooms, egg yolks and fortified milks. When you’re deficient in vitamin D, you may experience symptoms like fatigue, muscle weakness and depression. Additionally, you could become more prone to having fractures from falls if you have a vitamin D deficiency.
