Kidney Profile
- BUN (Urea Nitrogen): A protein metabolism by-product that indicates kidney function.
- Creatinine, Serum: An indicator of kidney function.
- BUN/Creatinine Ratio: A calculated ratio of BUN to creatinine.
- eGFR: Assesses the kidney's filtering capacity.
Fluids & Electrolytes
- Sodium: Supports water balance and nerve and muscle activity.
- Potassium: Helps control nerve and muscle function.
- Chloride: Helps maintain electrolyte balance.
- Carbon Dioxide, Total: Helps detect and monitor electrolyte imbalances.
- Calcium: Supports bone, muscle, nerve, and blood clotting function.
Liver Panel
- Protein, Total: Reflects overall nutritional state along with albumin.
- Albumin: A major blood protein that reflects general nutritional status.
- Globulin, Total: A group of proteins that includes infection-fighting antibodies.
- Albumin/Globulin Ratio: A calculated ratio of albumin to globulin.
- Bilirubin, Total: Reflects liver function; high levels may indicate jaundice.
- Alkaline Phosphatase: Helps assess bone and liver function.
- AST (SGOT): An enzyme that may indicate liver disease when abnormal.
- ALT (SGPT): A liver-specific enzyme that may indicate liver disease when abnormal.
Lipid Profile
- Total Cholesterol: Measures overall cholesterol levels in the blood.
- HDL Cholesterol: Measures "good" cholesterol that supports heart health.
- LDL Cholesterol (calculated): Measures "bad" cholesterol linked to heart health.
- VLDL Cholesterol (calculated): Estimates another cholesterol fraction (LabCorp only).
- Triglycerides: Measures a type of fat in the blood.
- Risk Ratio (Total/HDL): A calculated ratio used alongside other lipid values.
(Not Included with LabCorp) A reflexive direct LDL test will be performed on Triglyceride results over 400 mg/dL.
Prostate Health
- Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA): Measures a prostate-produced protein used to help assess prostate health.
Urinalysis
- Urinalysis, Complete: Evaluates conditions such as urinary tract infection, dehydration, and kidney stones.
Hormones
- Testosterone Free (Direct) with Total Testosterone: Measures free and total testosterone, a hormone that supports male reproductive and overall health.
- Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate (DHEAS): Measures an adrenal hormone used as a marker of adrenal function.
Lab-specific note (LabCorp only): Any Testosterone Free (Direct) or Total Testosterone result exceeding 1500 will be reported as ">1500."
Vitamins
- Vitamin D, 25-Hydroxy: Measures vitamin D status, which supports bone health and calcium metabolism.
Benefits

FAQ
1. What is the purpose of this test?
This panel combines a Complete Blood Count, CMP-14, Lipid Profile, PSA, Urinalysis, testosterone testing, DHEAS, and Vitamin D testing. Together, these panels offer a broad look at blood cell health, kidney and liver function, blood sugar, cholesterol, prostate markers, hormone levels, and vitamin D status, giving you a wide view of your overall health in one order.
2. Who would benefit from this test?
This panel is well suited for men who want a comprehensive check of their general health, including heart, kidney, liver, and hormone-related markers. It can also be useful for men interested in reviewing prostate health indicators and vitamin D status as part of routine wellness monitoring.
3. When should I order this panel?
You may consider ordering this panel as part of routine health monitoring or general wellness screening. It can also be useful if you want a broad snapshot of multiple body systems at once. This panel is not intended to diagnose any specific condition on its own.
4. Do I need to fast before this test?
Yes. Fast for 12-14 hours prior to collection, maintain a stable diet for 2-3 weeks before testing. Avoid ejaculation, strenuous exercise, and biotin supplements for 72 hours before testing; wait at least six weeks after a prostate biopsy before PSA testing.
5. How quickly will I get results?
Results are typically available in 4-7 days, though this may take longer based on weather, holiday, or lab delays.
6. How do I interpret the results?
Patterns across multiple biomarkers are often more meaningful than any single value on its own. Rather than focusing on one result in isolation, consider how your values relate to one another. Always discuss your results with a healthcare provider who can help interpret them 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.
7. What should I do if my results are abnormal?
If any of your results fall outside the expected range, share them with your healthcare provider. They can help determine whether further evaluation, monitoring, or additional testing is appropriate based on your individual health history.
8. How often should I get tested?
Testing frequency depends on your individual health needs and history. Follow up as directed by your healthcare provider to determine what monitoring schedule, if any, makes sense for you.
9. Why early detection matters
Reviewing markers like cholesterol, kidney and liver function, blood sugar, PSA, hormone levels, and vitamin D over time may support earlier awareness of changes in your health. This panel is intended to support ongoing monitoring rather than guarantee detection of any specific condition.
Pre-test preparation
Maintain a stable diet for 2-3 weeks before blood collection and fast for 12-14 hours prior to your appointment. Avoid ejaculation, strenuous exercise, and biotin supplements for 72 hours before testing; wait at least six weeks after a prostate biopsy before PSA testing.
Do not stop prescribed medication unless instructed by your healthcare provider.
