A general health panel is a comprehensive set of lab tests that provides a broad overview of your health status. These panels typically include several key components and are individualized based on your health history and what health conditions are being evaluated:
- Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP): The CMP blood test is a crucial general health panel. It assesses various aspects of your metabolism, liver and kidneys. This CMP blood test measures essential components in your blood (including sugars, minerals, electrolytes, enzymes and waste products) that contribute to your overall health.
- Cholesterol and Lipid Panel Test: This test measures different types of lipids (microscopic fatty substances) in your blood, including cholesterol and triglycerides.
- Complete Blood Count (CBC): Labcorp OnDemand’s Complete Blood Count Test measures your blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.
It's important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine which diabetes panel or tests are most appropriate for your individual needs and health status.
