What's Included
This panel includes biomarkers across a complete blood count, a comprehensive metabolic panel, LDH, and uric acid.
Complete Blood Count (CBC) with Differential and Platelets Blood Test
White Blood Cells
Red Blood Cells and Red Cell Indices
- Red Blood Cells (RBC): Carries 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 blood volume made up of red blood cells.
- MCH (Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin): The average hemoglobin amount within a single red blood cell.
- MCHC (Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration): The average hemoglobin concentration percentage within a red blood cell.
- MCV (Mean Corpuscular Volume): The average size of your red blood cells.
- RDW (Red Cell Distribution Width): Measures the variation in volume and size among your red blood cells.
Platelets
- Platelet Count: Blood cell particles that play a role in forming blood clots.
- MPV (Mean Platelet Volume): The average size of platelets in the blood, providing information about platelet production and activity.
White Blood Cell Differential
- Neutrophils: The most common white blood cell type, created by your bone marrow to combat inflammatory and infectious conditions.
- Lymphocytes: B cells and T cells that fight bacteria and other pathogens, found mainly in your lymph system.
- Monocytes: Work alongside neutrophils to fight infections and clear away dead or damaged cells.
- Eos (Eosinophils): White blood cells that become active in response to allergies and certain infections.
- Basophils: Help detect infections early, support wound healing, and respond to allergic reactions.
- Immature Granulocytes: A component of your white blood cell differential included in this panel. (Labcorp only)
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP-14) with eGFR Blood Test
Blood Sugar
Kidney Profile
- BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen): A waste product formed when the body breaks down protein, normally removed by the kidneys.
- Creatinine, Serum: A waste product from normal muscle activity that is filtered from the blood by the kidneys.
- BUN/Creatinine Ratio: A calculated value (BUN divided by creatinine) that can suggest conditions like dehydration or intestinal bleeding.
- Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR): A calculated estimate of how effectively the kidneys filter waste from the blood, used to assess kidney function.
Liver Panel
- Protein, Total: The combined amount of albumin and globulin proteins in the blood, which helps assess liver and kidney function and nutritional health.
- Albumin, Serum: A protein produced by the liver that helps maintain fluid balance and transport substances through the blood.
- Globulin, Total: A group of blood proteins involved in immune defense, transporting substances, and other important body functions.
- Albumin/Globulin Ratio: A calculated value (albumin divided by globulin) that, alongside other results, can assist in evaluating liver problems.
- Bilirubin, Total: A yellow pigment produced during the normal breakdown of red blood cells and processed by the liver. Elevated levels can cause jaundice.
- Alkaline Phosphatase: An enzyme found primarily in the liver, bile ducts, and bones that can help identify liver or bone disorders.
- Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST or SGOT): An enzyme found in the liver and other tissues, such as the heart and muscles, that is released into the blood when cells are damaged.
- Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT or SGPT): An enzyme that helps identify liver damage. Abnormal levels may represent liver disease.
Fluids & Electrolytes
- Sodium: One of the major salts in your body fluid, important for water balance and the electrical activity of nerves and muscles.
- Potassium: Helps control the function of your nerves and muscles.
- Chloride: Similar to sodium, it helps maintain your body's electrolyte balance.
- Carbon Dioxide, Total: A measure that primarily reflects bicarbonate in the blood, helping assess the body's acid-base balance.
- Calcium: A mineral essential for developing and maintaining healthy bones and teeth, and for normal muscle, nerve, and blood clotting function.
Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH or LD)
Uric Acid
Benefits
- Measures red blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelets in one blood draw.
- Includes liver enzymes AST and ALT alongside bilirubin and albumin.
- Adds LDH and uric acid to the blood count and metabolic results.
- Includes BUN, creatinine, and eGFR for a look at kidney-related markers.
- Combines multiple test groups into one convenient panel.
- Gives you results to review with your healthcare provider.

- Pregnant women with a history of preeclampsia.
- Pregnant women with a history of HELLP syndrome.
- Pregnant women with high blood pressure.

FAQ
1. Do I need to fast or prepare for this test?
Fasting for at least 12 hours is required.
2. How quickly will I get results?
Expect results in 1-2 business days. May take longer based on weather, holiday, or lab delays.
3. What can my results tell me?
Think of this panel as three views of a single blood sample. Blood cell measurements show how your red cells, white cells, and platelets look. Metabolic and liver markers add chemistry and organ-related detail. LDH and uric acid contribute enzyme and waste-product levels. Together, they give your healthcare provider a broader picture to evaluate than any single test alone.
4. How do I interpret the results?
Meaning comes from patterns, not isolated numbers. Cell counts, liver enzymes, kidney markers, and calculated ratios each describe something different, so they will not necessarily move together. Symptoms, medical history, medications, and fasting status all add context, and a single high or low value does not confirm or rule out any condition. Review the full set with a qualified healthcare provider.
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.
5. What should I do if my results are abnormal?
Start by sharing the full report with a qualified healthcare provider rather than focusing on one number. Several results read together may point to something that a single value cannot. Your provider can explain what the pattern means for you and decide whether any further evaluation is appropriate.
Pre-test preparation
Fasting for at least 12 hours is required.
