What's Included
Complete Blood Count (CBC) with Differential and Platelets
- White Blood Cells (WBC): Your body's primary defense against disease, helping fight infection.
- Red Blood Cells (RBC): Carry oxygen and carbon dioxide to and from your cells. Iron deficiency can lower this count.
- Hemoglobin: A compound inside red cells that carries oxygen through your bloodstream and gives blood its red color.
- Hematocrit: The percentage of your blood volume made up of red blood cells.
- Neutrophils: The most common white blood cell, produced by bone marrow to fight inflammation and infection.
- Lymphocytes: B-cells and T-cells that fight bacteria and other pathogens, mainly found in the lymph system.
- Monocytes: Work alongside neutrophils to fight infection and disease and clear away dead or damaged cells.
- Eosinophils: White blood cells activated in response to allergies and certain infections.
- Basophils: Help detect infections early and play a role in wound healing and allergic responses.
- Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH): The average hemoglobin amount within a red blood cell.
- Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC): The average hemoglobin concentration percentage within a red blood cell.
- Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV): The average size of your red blood cells.
- Platelets: Blood cell particles involved in forming blood clots.
- Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW): Measures variation in the volume and size of your red blood cells.
- Absolute Neutrophils: The number of neutrophils in your blood; normal range is 2,500-7,000 per microliter.
- Absolute Lymphocytes: Your white blood cell count multiplied by the percentage of lymphocytes, giving an absolute number.
- Absolute Monocytes: The number of monocytes in your blood, helping identify if the count is normal, high, or low.
- Absolute Eosinophils: The percentage of eosinophils multiplied by your total white blood cell count.
- Absolute Basophils: The percentage of basophils multiplied by your total white blood cell count.
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP-14) with eGFR
- Glucose: Your blood sugar level, the most direct way to screen for and help manage diabetes.
Kidney Profile
- BUN (Urea Nitrogen): An indicator of kidney function.
- Creatinine, Serum: An indicator of kidney function.
- BUN/Creatinine Ratio: Calculated by dividing BUN by creatinine; can suggest conditions such as dehydration or intestinal bleeding.
- Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR): Measures kidney function to help determine kidney disease stage and detect early kidney damage.
Liver Panel
- Protein, Total: Helps assess liver and kidney function and nutritional health.
- Albumin, Serum: A major protein essential for healthy liver and kidney function.
- Globulin, Total: A major protein that helps blood clot properly and includes infection-fighting antibodies.
- Albumin/Globulin Ratio: Calculated by dividing albumin by globulin; can assist in diagnosing liver problems when paired with other results.
- Bilirubin, Total: Aids in detecting hepatitis, sickle cell disease, anemia, cirrhosis, and effects of alcohol or drug use. High levels may cause jaundice.
- Alkaline Phosphatase: A protein important for detecting bone disorders and liver disease.
- Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST or SGOT): An enzyme that helps evaluate liver function; elevated levels may indicate hepatitis.
- Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT or SGPT): An enzyme that helps identify liver damage; abnormalities may represent liver disease.
Fluids & Electrolytes
- Sodium: A major salt in body fluid, important for water balance and nerve and muscle activity.
- Potassium: Helps control nerve and muscle function.
- Chloride: Similar to sodium, it helps maintain your body's electrolyte balance.
- Carbon Dioxide, Total: Used to help detect, evaluate, and monitor electrolyte imbalances.
- Calcium: A mineral essential for bone and teeth health, muscle and nerve function, and blood clotting.

FAQ
1. What is the purpose of this test?
This panel combines a Complete Blood Count (CBC) with a Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP-14) with eGFR. The CBC examines your red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, offering insight into infection response, oxygen transport, and clotting ability. The CMP-14 measures glucose, kidney function markers, liver function markers, and electrolytes. Together, these panels give you a broad view of blood cell health alongside kidney, liver, and metabolic function. This panel does not diagnose any specific condition on its own.
2. Who should consider this panel, and when should I order it?
This panel works well as a routine health exam or general wellness check for anyone wanting a broad look at their blood, liver, kidney, and metabolic health, rather than a test targeted at one specific issue. It's also useful for ongoing awareness if you're tracking an existing liver, kidney, or blood sugar concern over time. It does not replace guidance from a healthcare provider.
3. Do I need to fast before this test?
Yes. Fasting for at least 10-12 hours is required before this test.
4. How quickly will I get results?
Results are typically available in 1-2 days. May take longer based on weather, holiday, or lab delays.
5. How do I interpret the results?
Individual biomarker values are only part of the picture. Patterns across multiple biomarkers, such as how your kidney, liver, and blood cell results relate to one another, are often more meaningful than any single value alone. Your healthcare provider is best positioned to review your full results in the context of your health history and explain what they mean for you.
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 your results with a healthcare provider, who can review them alongside your health history and, if needed, recommend follow-up testing or next steps.
7. How often should I get tested?
Testing frequency depends on your individual health needs and goals, and retesting is best done as directed by your healthcare provider, particularly if you're monitoring an existing concern or tracking changes over time. Reviewing blood cell counts alongside liver, kidney, and metabolic markers on a regular basis, combined with guidance from your healthcare provider, may help support earlier awareness of changes in these areas as part of managing your overall health.
