What is the purpose of this test?
Order this Fitness #1 Baseline Blood Test Panel, which assesses overall fitness by combining different elements of strength, endurance, and a well-balanced physique. To maximize their fitness performance, individuals must ensure their body is adequately prepared physically and nutritionally. The organ function, nutritional and hormonal state can affect fitness performance in many ways. Therefore, this Fitness #1 Baseline Blood Test Panel was designed to supplement physical training since knowing the numbers is a mandate to achieve optimal fitness.
The Fitness #1 Baseline Blood Test Panel includes the following:
Lipid Panel - is used to help determine heart disease risk and to help determine treatment if you are borderline or high risk. The lipid panel results and other known heart disease risk factors are considered to develop treatment and follow-up. Treatment options may involve diet and exercise changes or lipid-lowering medications such as statins depending on the results and other risk factors. Test Includes: Total Cholesterol, Triglycerides, HDL (the "good" cholesterol), LDL (the "bad" cholesterol), Total Cholesterol/HDL Ratio, and Non-HDL Cholesterol.
Complete Blood Count (CBC) With Differential and Platelets - A complete blood count (CBC) will give important information about the kinds and numbers of cells in the blood, especially red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. A CBC helps health professionals check any symptoms, such as fatigue, weakness, or bruising, that you may have. A CBC also helps diagnose conditions such as anemia, infection, and many other disorders. The test includes WBC, RBC, Hemoglobin, Hematocrit, MCV, MCH, MCHC, RDW, Platelets, Neutrophils, Lymphs, Monocytes, Eos, Basos, Neutrophils (Absolute), Lymphs (Absolute), Monocytes(Absolute), Eos (Absolute), Basos (Absolute), Immature Granulocytes, Immature Grans (Abs).
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP-14):
- Glucose - The blood sugar level is the most direct test to screen for diabetes and is also used in diabetes management.
- Kidney Profile
- Bun or Urea Nitrogen (BUN) - An indicator of kidney function.
- Creatinine, Serum - An indicator of kidney function.
- Bun/Creatinine Ratio - Calculated by dividing the BUN by creatinine. This ratio can suggest conditions including dehydration or intestinal bleeding.
- Liver Panel
- Protein, Total - Assists in determining liver and kidney function and nutritional health.
- Albumin Serum - One of the significant proteins essential for the healthy function of the liver and kidney.
- Globulin, Total - One of the major proteins that assist the blood in clotting and adequately comprise infection-fighting antibodies.
- Albumin/Globulin Ratio - Calculated by dividing the albumin by globulin. When paired with other test results, this ratio can assist in diagnosing various liver problems.
- Bilirubin, Total - Aids in detecting hepatitis, sickle cell, anemia, cirrhosis, alcohol, and drug abuse. High concentrations may result in jaundice.
- Alkaline Phosphatase - A protein vital in detecting bone disorders and liver disease.
- Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST or SGOT) - An enzyme helpful in evaluating liver function. An elevated level is an indication of hepatitis.
- Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT or SGPT) - An enzyme helpful in identifying liver damage. Abnormalities may represent liver disease.
- Fluids & Electrolytes
- Sodium - One of the major salts in body fluid. Sodium is essential in water balance and the electrical activity of nerves and muscles.
- Potassium - Helps to control the nerves and muscles.
- Chloride - Similar to sodium, it helps to maintain the body's electrolyte balance.
- Carbon Dioxide, Total - Used to help detect, evaluate, and monitor electrolyte imbalances.
- Calcium - A mineral essential for developing and maintaining healthy bones and teeth. It is also vital for the normal function of muscles, nerves, and blood clotting.
C-Reactive Protein (CRP) Blood Test, High Sensitivity - Measures the amount of C-reactive protein in your blood. C-reactive protein measures general levels of inflammation in your body; infections and several long-term diseases cause high levels of CRP. However, a CRP test cannot show where the inflammation is located or what is causing it; other tests will be needed to find the cause and location.
Testosterone Total - Testosterone levels may be helpful in men for the diagnosis of hypopituitarism, hypogonadism, Klinefelter syndrome, and impotence (low values). Testosterone levels may be requested in women to investigate the cause of anovulation, amenorrhea, hirsutism, virilization, masculinizing tumors of the ovary, tumors of the adrenal cortices, and congenital adrenal hyperplasia (high values).
