Mana Health Blood Test Panel

Quick Facts

• Sample: Blood
• Fasting: No fasting is required. Stop biotin consumption at least 72 hours prior to the collection.
• Turnaround: 2-7 business days. May take longer based on weather, holiday, or lab delays.

What's Included

Complete Blood Count (CBC) with Differential and Platelets Blood Test

White Blood Cells

• White Blood Cells (WBC): Your body's primary defense against disease, these cells help you fight infection.

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)

Testosterone Free (Dialysis) and Total Testosterone Test

• Testosterone, Free: The portion of testosterone circulating in the blood that is not bound to proteins and is available to enter cells and exert biological effects.
• Testosterone, Total: The total amount of testosterone in the blood, including testosterone bound to proteins and testosterone circulating freely.
  • LabCorp only: Any result exceeding 1500 is reported as ">1500."

Estradiol

• Estradiol: The primary form of estrogen during the reproductive years, produced mainly by the ovaries and in smaller amounts by the testes and other tissues. Helps regulate reproductive function, menstrual cycles, and bone health.

Benefits

• Combines blood cell counts, testosterone, and estradiol in one panel.
• Reviews your red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
• Measures both total and free testosterone.
• Includes testosterone measured by LC/MS/MS methodology.
• Adds estradiol to help you see your hormone levels together.
• Provides results you can review with your healthcare provider.

Who Is This Test For?

• Adults who want to check testosterone and estradiol levels together.
• Men looking into possible changes in testosterone levels.
• Anyone wanting a blood cell count alongside hormone testing.
• People who want both total and free testosterone measured.
• Adults wanting hormone results to discuss with their healthcare provider.

FAQ

1. Do I need to fast or prepare for this test?

No fasting is required. Stop biotin consumption at least 72 hours prior to the collection.

2. How quickly will I get results?

Results take 2-7 business days. May take longer based on weather, holiday, or lab delays.

3. What can my results tell me?

Together, the panel's three parts give you a snapshot of your blood cells and two key hormones. The blood count describes the cells that carry oxygen, fight infection, and help blood clot, while the hormone tests look at testosterone and estradiol. Each part offers a different kind of information.

4. How do I interpret the results?

Interpretation depends on patterns across your results and your personal context, such as symptoms, medical history, and medications. Blood counts and hormone values answer different questions, so they will not necessarily move together. A single high or low value does not confirm a condition, and a single normal value does not rule one out. Discuss your results 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?

Reach out to a qualified healthcare provider to go over your report. One out-of-range value is not a diagnosis or a reason for treatment on its own. Your provider can look at how your results fit together, consider your health history, and decide whether any further evaluation makes sense.

Pre-test preparation
