Quick Facts
- Sample: Blood draw (venipuncture)

FAQ
1. What is the purpose of this test?
This panel combines three tests into one comprehensive assessment. The Lipid Panel evaluates cholesterol and triglyceride levels. The Comprehensive Metabolic Panel with eGFR assesses kidney and liver function, electrolyte balance, and blood sugar. The Complete Blood Count with Differential evaluates blood cell health and immune status. Together, these panels provide a broader view of cardiovascular and overall wellness, though results alone do not diagnose any condition.
2. Who would benefit from this test, and when should I order it?
Adults interested in a broader cardiovascular and metabolic wellness check may benefit from this panel, including those with a family history of heart disease or those monitoring existing conditions like diabetes or hypertension. Health conscious individuals seeking baseline wellness measurements may also find it useful for ongoing tracking. You may consider ordering it for routine wellness screening, to monitor an existing condition, or as a follow up after lifestyle or treatment changes. Some people order before starting a new exercise or dietary program to establish baseline measurements.
3. How should I prepare for this test?
Fast for 12–14 hours before your blood draw, consuming only water during this period. Maintain your regular diet for 2–3 weeks before testing to ensure accurate baseline results. Avoid biotin supplements for 72 hours prior to testing, as they can interfere with certain assays. Do not stop prescribed medication unless instructed by your healthcare provider. Scheduling your appointment for morning hours when possible can make fasting more manageable. Wear clothing with easy sleeve access for blood draw convenience.
4. How quickly will I get results?
Results are typically available within 1–2 business days, though timing may take longer due to weather, holidays, or lab delays.
5. How do I interpret the results?
Your results include normal reference ranges for each biomarker. Patterns across biomarkers are often more meaningful than any single value on its own. Values outside the reference range may indicate an area worth discussing with a healthcare provider, who can help interpret your results in the context of 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.
6. What should I do if my results are abnormal?
Share them with a healthcare provider, who can recommend appropriate follow up testing or next steps based on your individual health history.
7. How often should I get tested, and why does regular monitoring matter?
Testing frequency depends on your individual health status and risk factors. Many adults consider annual screening, while others may test more or less often as directed by your healthcare provider. Reviewing cardiovascular and metabolic biomarkers over time may help support earlier awareness of changes in your health, and regular monitoring can be a useful part of an ongoing wellness routine.
Pre-test preparation
Fast for 12–14 hours before your blood draw, consuming only water during this period. Maintain your regular diet for 2–3 weeks before testing to ensure accurate baseline results. Avoid biotin supplements for 72 hours prior to testing, as they can interfere with certain assays. Do not stop prescribed medication unless instructed by your healthcare provider.
