- Fasting: Maintain a stable diet for 2–3 weeks before blood collection, fast for 12–14 hours prior, and stop biotin 72 hours before collection.
- Turnaround: 1-2 business days. May take longer based on weather, holiday, or lab delays.
What's Included
This panel combines the Wellness #2 Essential Blood Test Panel with a magnesium test. It covers all biomarkers across the groups below.
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.
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)
Uric Acid
Lactic Acid Dehydrogenase
Lactic Acid Dehydrogenase (LD): An enzyme found in many tissues, including the liver, heart, muscles, and red blood cells, that is released into the blood when cells are damaged.
Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase
Iron
Phosphorus
Phosphorus: An essential mineral found primarily in bones and teeth that supports energy production, cell function, and bone health. Abnormal blood levels may indicate kidney dysfunction or disorders affecting mineral balance.
Magnesium
Benefits
- Gives you a broad snapshot across metabolic, blood, and thyroid measurements.
- Includes kidney and liver markers in one convenient panel.
- Reports cholesterol, triglycerides, and a total cholesterol to HDL ratio.
- Adds a magnesium measurement to the standard wellness markers.
- Provides a full CBC with differential and platelets.
- Supports informed conversations with your healthcare provider.
Who Is This Test For?
- Adults who want a comprehensive overview of their general health.
- People who want to track blood sugar and cholesterol numbers.
- Anyone interested in checking kidney, liver, or thyroid markers.
- Those who want magnesium included alongside electrolytes, calcium, and phosphorus.
- People taking diuretics who want to see magnesium levels.

FAQ
1. Do I need to fast or prepare for this test?
Yes. Maintain a stable diet for 2–3 weeks before blood collection, fast for 12–14 hours prior, and stop biotin 72 hours before collection.
2. How quickly will I get results?
Expect them within 1-2 business days. May take longer based on weather, holiday, or lab delays.
3. What can my results tell me?
Together, the groups in this panel show how several body systems are doing at once. Metabolic, kidney, and liver markers sit alongside electrolytes, lipids, thyroid measurements, blood cell counts, minerals, and magnesium. Seen side by side, they give you and your provider a wider view than any single test could.
4. How do I interpret the results?
Meaning comes from patterns across your results, not from any single number. Symptoms, medical history, medications, and how you prepared for collection all add context, and each biomarker offers a different kind of information. A value outside the range does not confirm a condition, and a value within range does not rule one out. Review your full report 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?
Stay calm and bring your report to a qualified healthcare provider. One out-of-range value does not necessarily call for action, and your provider will look at how several results fit together. They can decide whether anything further is needed based on your overall picture. Please do not make changes to your care on your own.
Pre-test preparation
- Maintain a stable diet for 2–3 weeks before blood collection.
