The Nutrition and Wellness #1 Baseline Blood and Urine Test Panel includes the following:

Complete Blood Count (CBC) with Differential & Platelets - The CBC with Differential & Platelets is a blood test that measures different components of your blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. It can help identify a wide range of health conditions, including anemia, infections, and certain types of cancer. By understanding the results of this test, you and your healthcare provider can work together to identify potential nutrition deficiencies or other lifestyle factors that may be contributing to your health concerns. Eating a balanced diet rich in nutrients, staying hydrated, and getting regular exercise can all help improve your CBC with Differential & Platelets results and promote overall wellness.

  • White Blood Cells (WBC) - The body's primary defense against disease and helps to fight infection.
  • Red Blood Cells (RBC) - Responsible for carrying oxygen and carbon dioxide away from all cells. Iron deficiency will lower the RBC count.
  • Hemoglobin - A chemical compound inside red cells that transports oxygen through the bloodstream to all body cells. Hemoglobin gives the red color to blood.
  • Hematocrit - Measures the amount of space red blood cells take up in the blood. It is reported as a percentage.
  • Neutrophils - Neutrophils are the most common type of white blood cells and are created by the bone marrow to combat a wide range of inflammatory and infectious diseases.
  • Lymphocytes - B-cells and T-cells are lymphocytes that fight bacteria and other pathogens in the blood. They are primarily found in the lymph system.
  • Monocytes - Working alongside neutrophils, monocytes play a vital role in fighting infections and other diseases and clearing away dead or damaged cells.
  • Eosinophils - White blood cells called eosinophils become activated in response to allergies and certain infections.
  • Basophils - Basophils play a role in detecting infections early on, as well as aiding in wound healing and reacting to allergic responses.
  • Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH) - The average hemoglobin concentration within a red blood cell.
  • Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC) - The average hemoglobin concentration percentage within a red blood cell.
  • Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) - The average size of red blood cells.
  • Platelets - Blood cell particles associated with the forming of blood clots.
  • Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW) - Measures the amount of red blood cell variation in volume and size.
  • Absolute Neutrophils - The absolute neutrophil count measures the number of neutrophils in your blood. Normal range is 2,500-7,000 per microliter. Counts outside this range indicate a possible condition.
  • Absolute Lymphocytes -To calculate your absolute lymphocyte count, multiply your white blood cell count by the percentage of lymphocytes. This gives you the number of lymphocytes as an absolute number.
  • Absolute Monocytes -The absolute monocyte count indicates the number of monocytes in the blood, helping to identify if the count is normal, high, or low.
  • Absolute Eosinophils - Absolute eosinophil count measures the number of eosinophils in blood by multiplying the percentage of eosinophils in a complete blood count with the total number of white blood cells in the same count.
  • Absolute Basophils - Absolute basophil count is calculated by multiplying the percentage of basophils by the total number of white blood cells in a blood sample.

Lipid Panel - The Lipid Panel is a blood test that measures the amount of fats in your blood. The panel typically includes measurements of cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels. These measurements can help identify your risk for heart disease and other health conditions related to poor nutrition and lifestyle choices. Eating a healthy diet, getting regular exercise, and maintaining a healthy weight can help improve your lipid panel results and reduce your risk for chronic diseases.

  • Cholesterol, Total - A measurement used to assess heart health. Cholesterol is required by your body to build healthy cells, but high cholesterol levels can increase your risk of heart disease.
  • Triglycerides - Surplus fats transported in the bloodstream and provide energy to the body.
  • HDL Cholesterol - High-density lipoproteins, or "good" cholesterol, take cholesterol away from the cells and transport it back to the liver for removal or processing.
  • LDL Cholesterol - Low-density lipoproteins (calculation), or "bad" cholesterol, contain the highest percentage of cholesterol and are responsible for depositing cholesterol on the artery walls.
  • VLDL Cholesterol - contains the highest amount of triglycerides. VLDL is a type of "bad cholesterol" because it helps cholesterol build up on the walls of arteries. (VLDL Cholesterol included in LabCorp Only)

Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP-14) - The Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP-14) is a blood test that measures different substances in the blood, including electrolytes, glucose, and liver and kidney function markers. This test can help identify issues related to nutrition and wellness, such as diabetes, liver disease, and kidney problems. It can also provide a general overview of your body's health and help you and your healthcare provider make informed decisions about your diet and lifestyle choices.

  • Glucose - Blood sugar level, the most direct test to screen for diabetes and 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 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 major proteins essential for the healthy function of the liver and kidney. 
    • Globulin, Total - One of the major proteins that assist the blood to clot properly and also comprises infection-fighting antibodies. 
    • Albumin/Globulin Ratio - Calculated by dividing 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 important 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 important for the normal function of muscles, nerves, and blood clotting.

Urinalysis Complete with Microscopic Examination - Urinalysis is a medical test that examines a person's urine for various health conditions. The complete urinalysis test includes a microscopic examination that checks for the presence of bacteria, red and white blood cells, and other substances that may indicate an infection or disease. It can also detect conditions such as diabetes, liver disease, and kidney problems. As for its relation to nutrition and wellness, urinalysis can provide insights into a person's hydration status and indicate whether they are consuming enough fluids. Additionally, it can detect the presence of certain substances like protein and glucose, which may indicate an issue with diet or metabolism. Overall, urinalysis can be an important tool in monitoring and maintaining one's overall health and wellness.

Iron and Total Iron-binding Capacity - Iron is an essential mineral that helps the body produce hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. Total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) is a blood test that measures the amount of iron that can be bound by proteins in the blood. TIBC is used to diagnose iron deficiency anemia, a condition in which the body doesn't have enough iron to produce hemoglobin. Maintaining healthy iron levels is important for overall health and wellness, as iron deficiency can lead to fatigue, weakness, and other health problems.

Vitamin D 25-hydroxy - Vitamin D 25-hydroxy is a form of vitamin D that is produced in the liver after the body absorbs vitamin D from sunlight, food, or supplements. It is a common measure of a person's vitamin D levels and is used to assess an individual's risk of vitamin D deficiency. Adequate vitamin D levels are important for overall health and wellness, as it helps the body absorb calcium and maintain healthy bones. Additionally, research suggests that vitamin D may play a role in immune function, mood regulation, and disease prevention.
