Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP)
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 helpsmaintain 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.
Complete Blood Count (CBC) Test
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.
Cholesterol and Lipid Panel Test
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.
Diabetes Risk (HbA1c) Test
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).
Total Testosterone Test
Your testosterone levels could be interfering with your goals for a healthier, happier life. Testosterone is responsible for many essential characteristics and functions within the male body. This testosterone blood test can help you determine if your testosterone level is within the normal range for your age.
By measuring the total level of testosterone in your body, you can identify any factors that might interfere with sex drive (libido), bone mass, fat distribution, muscle mass or production of red blood cells and sperm.
Explore our Comprehensive Testosterone Test to get a fuller picture of your testosterone status with key components such as sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), albumin, total and free testosterone.
Note: This total testosterone level test is only clinically appropriate for individuals assigned male at birth (AMAB). If you are an individual assigned female at birth (AFAB) seeking a testosterone test, you should contact your healthcare provider.
Testosterone is a key hormone that is responsible for regulating sex drive (libido), bone mass, fat distribution, muscle mass and production of red blood cells and sperm. This test measures the total amount of testosterone in your blood, including the testosterone that’s both attached and not attached to proteins (albumin and sex hormone-binding globulin).
