Wellness #3 Extreme Panel is a very detailed assessment of overall health and contains over 60 separate laboratory tests including:
CMP-14 Includes:
Glucose-Blood sugar level, the most direct test to discover diabetes, may be used not only to identify diabetes, but also to evaluate how one controls the disease.
Kidney Profile
Bun or Urea Nitrogen— BUN is another by-product of protein metabolism eliminated through the kidneys and an indicator of kidney function.
Creatinine, Serum— An indicator of kidney function.
Bun/Creatinine Ratio— Calculated by dividing the BUN by the Creatinine.
Glomerular Filtration (eGFR)— Provides an assessment of the filtering capacity of the kidney.
Liver panel
Protein, Total— Together with albumin, it is a measure of the state of nutrition in the body.
Albumin— Serum one of the major proteins in the blood and a reflection of the general state of nutrition.
Globulin, Total— A major group of proteins in the blood comprising the infection fighting antibodies.
Albumin/Globulin Ratio— Calculated by dividing the albumin by the globulin.
Bilirubin, Total— A chemical involved with liver functions. High concentrations may result in jaundice.
Alkaline Phosphatase— A body protein important in diagnosing proper bone and liver functions.
Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST or SGOT)—an enzyme found in skeletal and heart muscle, liver and other organs. Abnormalities may represent liver disease.
Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT or SGPT)— an enzyme found primarily in the liver. Abnormalities may represent liver disease
Fluids & Electrolytes
Sodium— One of the major salts in the body fluid, sodium is important in the body's water balance and the electrical activity of nerves and muscles.
Potassium— Helps to control the nerves and muscles.
Chloride— Similar to sodium, it helps to maintain the body's electrolyte balance.
Carbon Dioxide, Total— Used to help detect, evaluate, and monitor electrolyte imbalances.
Lipid Panel With Total Cholesterol:HDL Ratio
Cholesterol, Total—A sterol in the blood. Knowing your cholesterol level may be as important as knowing your blood pressure. Elevated cholesterol levels are associated with an increasing risk of coronary heart disease.
Triglycerides—Triglycerides are fat in the blood that are responsible for providing energy to the cells of the body. Triglycerides should be less than 400 mg/dl even while in a non-fasting state.
HDL Cholesterol High-density lipoproteins are believed to take cholesterol away from cells and transport it back to the liver for removal or processing. They are known as the "good" cholesterol as people with high levels of HDL may have less heart disease. Low HDL could be the result of lack of exercise and smoking.
LDL Cholesterol Low-density lipoproteins contain the largest percentage of cholesterol and may be responsible for depositing cholesterol on the artery walls. They are known as the "bad" cholesterol.
Total Cholesterol/HDL Ratio—calculated by dividing the total cholesterol by the HDL cholesterol. This is the ratio used by physicians in determining your relative risk for developing cardiovascular disease.
Thyroid Panel with Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) - Thyroid function is critical to your metabolism and affects your energy level, weight control, heart rate, and more. The thyroid-stimulating hormone is produced in the pituitary gland and stimulates the production of thyroid hormones. The TSH helps to identify an overactive or underachieve thyroid state. This comprehensive evaluation of your thyroid hormone levels includes: T-3 Uptake, T4, T7, and Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
Complete Blood Count (CBC) With Differential and Platelets: A complete blood count (CBC) will give important information about the kinds and numbers of cells in the blood, especially red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. A CBC helps your health professional check any symptoms, such as fatigue, weakness, or bruising, that you may have. A CBC also helps diagnose conditions such as anemia, infection, and many other disorders.
Hemoglobin A1c: Measures the average amount of glucose in your blood.
Mineral and Bone: Iron, Phosphorus, Calcium
Vitamin D: Vitamin D tests determine if bone weakness, bone malformation, or abnormal metabolism of calcium (reflected by abnormal calcium, phosphorus or PTH tests) is occurring as a result of a deficiency or an excess of vitamin D. Since vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin and is absorbed from the intestine like a fat, vitamin D tests are at times used to monitor individuals with diseases that interfere with fat absorption, including cystic fibrosis and Crohn's disease, to assure that they have adequate amounts of vitamin D. Vitamin D tests also are used to determine the effectiveness of treatment when a vitamin D, calcium, phosphorus, and/or magnesium supplementation is prescribed.
C-Reactive Protein (CRP) Cardiac: The CRP test is a blood test that measures amounts of a protein called C-reactive protein in your blood. C-reactive protein measures the general levels of inflammation in your body. High levels of CRP are caused by infections and several long-term diseases. A CRP test cannot show where the inflammation is located or what is causing it, other tests are needed to find the cause and location of the inflammation.
Urinalysis Complete With Microscopic Examinations: Over 15 different items, a panel that is useful in the evaluation of conditions such as dehydration, urinary tract infection, and kidney stones.
