Cholesterol (Lipid) Profile  Includes total Cholesterol, HDL (the "good" cholesterol), LDL (the "bad" cholesterol), VLDL, Triglycerides, the Ratio of good cholesterol to total and CHD Risk Estimate. The lipid profile is used to determine your risk of heart disease and to help you and your health care provider in deciding what treatment may be best for you if you have borderline or high risk. The results of the lipid profile along with other known risk factors of heart disease The results of the lipid profile along with other known risk factors of heart disease are considered  to develop a plan of treatment and follow-up. Depending on results and other risk factors, treatment options may involve diet and exercise or lipid-lowering medications such as statins.

CMP-14 Includes Glucose (Blood sugar level), Kidney Profile (BUN or Urea Nitrogen, Creatinine, Bun/Creatinine Ratio, Glomerular Filtration (eGFR), Fluids & Electrolytes (Sodium,  Potassium, Chloride, Calcium; Liver panel (Protein, Total, Albumin, Globulin,   Albumin/Globulin Ratio, Bilirubin,  Alkaline Phosphatase, Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST or SGOT), Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT or SGPT).

CBC’s are used as a broad screening test to check for such disorders as anemia, infection, and many other diseases. It is a panel of tests that examine different parts of the blood and include the following: White blood cell (WBC) count is a count of the actual number of white blood cells per volume of blood. Increases and decreases can both be significant. White blood cell differential looks at the types of white blood cells that are present. There are five different types of white blood cells, each has its own function in protecting from infection. The differential will classify a person's white blood cells into each type: neutrophils (also known as segs, PMNs, granulocytes, grans), lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils. The Red blood cell (RBC) count is the count of the actual number of red blood cells per volume of blood. Both increases and decreases may point to abnormal conditions. Hemoglobin is used to measure the amount of oxygen-carrying protein in the blood. Hematocrit is used to measure the percentage of red blood cells in a given volume of whole blood. The platelet count is the number of platelets in a given volume of blood. Both increases and decreases may point to abnormal conditions of excess bleeding or clotting. Mean platelet volume (MPV) is a machine-calculated measurement of the average size of a person's platelets. New platelets are larger, an increased MPV occurs when increased new numbers of platelets are being produced. MPV gives a doctor information about platelet production in a patient's bone marrow. Mean corpuscular volume (MCV) is a measurement of the average size of a patient's RBC's. The MCV is elevated when RBC's are larger than normal (macrocytic), for example in anemia caused by vitamin B12 deficiency. When the MCV is decreased, your RBC's are smaller than normal (microcytic) as is seen in iron deficiency anemia or thalassemias. Mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) is a calculation of the average amount of oxygen-carrying hemoglobin inside a red blood cell. Macrocytic RBC's are large and tend to have a higher MCH, while microcytic red cells will have a lower value. Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) is a calculation of the average concentration of hemoglobin inside a red cell. Decreased MCHC values (hypochromia) are seen in conditions where the hemoglobin is abnormally diluted inside the red cells, such as in thalassemia and iron deficiency anemia . Increased MCHC values (hyperchromia) are seen in conditions where the hemoglobin is abnormally concentrated inside the red cells, such as in burn patients and hereditary spherocytosis, a relatively rare congenital disorder. Red cell distribution width (RDW) is a calculation of the variation in the size of your RBC's. In some anemias, such as pernicious anemia, the amount of variation (anisocytosis) in RBC size (along with variation in shape – poikilocytosis) causes an increase in the RDW.
