Lipid Panel with Total Cholesterol/HDL Ratio
- Cholesterol, Total: an overall marker of blood cholesterol.
- Triglycerides: fats in the blood that supply energy to your cells.
- HDL Cholesterol: often called "good" cholesterol.
- LDL Cholesterol: often called "bad" cholesterol.
- Non-HDL Cholesterol: a calculated value covering all cholesterol outside of HDL.
- Total Cholesterol/HDL Ratio: a calculated ratio used to gauge cardiovascular risk.
Thyroid Panel with TSH: evaluates thyroid hormone levels, including T4, T3 Uptake, FTI/T7, and TSH, which influence metabolism.
CBC with Differential & Platelets
- White Blood Cells (WBC): your body's primary infection defense.
- Red Blood Cells (RBC): carry oxygen and carbon dioxide.
- Hemoglobin: carries oxygen through the blood.
- Hematocrit: the percentage of blood made up of red cells.
- Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Eosinophils, Basophils: the five types of white blood cells, each supporting a different part of immune defense.
- MCH, MCHC, MCV: measures of red blood cell size and hemoglobin content.
- Platelets: cell particles involved in blood clotting.
- RDW: measures variation in red blood cell size.
- Absolute Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Eosinophils, Basophils: the calculated counts of each white cell type in your blood.
Additional Hormone & Wellness Tests
- Insulin-like Growth Factor (IGF-1): reflects growth hormone activity and pituitary function.
- Testosterone, Total: measures bound and free testosterone.
- Testosterone, Free: measures the active, unbound form of testosterone.
Lab-specific note (LabCorp only): Any Testosterone Free (Direct) or Total Testosterone result exceeding 1500 will be reported as ">1500."
- Urinalysis, Complete with Microscopic Examination: a physical, chemical, and microscopic look at your urine, covering markers like color, appearance, specific gravity, pH, protein, glucose, ketones, occult blood, bacteria, nitrite, leukocyte esterase, epithelial cells, casts, and urobilinogen.
- Vitamin D, 25-Hydroxy: reflects your vitamin D status, important for bone, immune, and overall health.
- Iron and Total Iron-Binding Capacity (TIBC): measures serum iron, TIBC, and calculated iron saturation to assess your iron status.
- Estradiol: a key female hormone, often used to evaluate reproductive hormone levels.
- Progesterone: a reproductive hormone relevant to menstrual cycle and hormone balance.
- DHEA-S: reflects adrenal gland hormone production.
- Human Growth Hormone (HGH): evaluates pituitary gland function and growth hormone levels.

FAQ
1. What is the purpose of this test?
This panel brings together metabolic, kidney, liver, thyroid, cardiovascular, blood cell, hormone, and urinalysis testing in one order. Together, these categories offer a broader picture of how your body's systems are functioning, rather than looking at any single marker in isolation. This panel does not diagnose any condition on its own.
2. Who would benefit from this test?
Women interested in tracking metabolic, hormonal, and general wellness markers may find this panel useful. It's designed for those who want a wide-ranging look at kidney, liver, thyroid, cardiovascular, blood cell, and hormone health in a single order, without implying any specific diagnosis.
3. When should I order this panel?
You might consider this panel when you want a general wellness check, when you're curious about markers associated with aging, or when you'd like a baseline to compare against future results. It can also support ongoing monitoring alongside guidance from your healthcare provider.
4. Do I need to fast before this test?
Yes. Fast for 12-14 hours and maintain a stable diet for 2-3 weeks before the blood test. Stop biotin consumption 72 hours before collection, and rest for 30 minutes before collection.
5. How quickly will I get results?
Results are typically available in 3-5 days, though this may take longer based on weather, holiday, or lab delays.
6. How do I interpret the results?
Individual values can be useful, but patterns across multiple biomarkers often provide more meaningful insight than any single result on its own. Reviewing your results with a healthcare provider can help you understand what they mean for your overall health.
Disclaimer: Reference ranges may vary by laboratory. Listed ranges are general guidelines and may differ from those used by the performing lab. Always consult your healthcare provider for interpretation.
7. What should I do if my results are abnormal?
Share your results with your healthcare provider, who can help interpret them in the context of your health history and determine whether any follow-up is needed.
8. How often should I get tested?
Testing frequency varies by individual, so it's best to follow the guidance of your healthcare provider, as directed by your healthcare provider based on your health goals and history.
9. Why early detection matters
Regular monitoring of metabolic, hormonal, and general wellness markers may support earlier awareness of changes in your body over time. This panel is intended to support ongoing monitoring, not to guarantee the detection or prevention of any specific condition.
Pre-test preparation
Fast for 12-14 hours and maintain a stable diet for 2-3 weeks before the blood test. Stop biotin consumption 72 hours before collection, and rest for 30 minutes before collection.
