What's Included
This panel measures 39 biomarkers from a single blood draw.
Lipid Panel With Total Cholesterol:HDL Ratio
- 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.
- Non HDL Cholesterol (Not Included with LabCorp): A measure of cholesterol carried outside of HDL particles.
- Total Cholesterol: HDL Ratio: The Total Cholesterol to HDL Ratio is a critical indicator of the balance between good and bad cholesterol in the body. A ratio of less than 5:1 is considered optimal, while a ratio higher than 6:1 indicates an increased risk of developing heart disease.
C-Reactive Protein, High Sensitivity (CRP-hs)
C-Reactive Protein, High Sensitivity (CRP-hs): A protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation. This high-sensitivity test detects low levels of CRP in the blood, helping assess inflammation and cardiovascular disease risk.
Homocysteine
Homocysteine: An amino acid produced during the metabolism of methionine, an essential amino acid. Elevated blood levels may indicate deficiencies in vitamins B6, B12, or folate and may be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
Hemoglobin A1c
Glucose
- Glucose: Glucose in the urine can be a sign of abnormally high blood sugar levels, such as those caused by diabetes.
Insulin
- Insulin: Fasting insulin level, not part of American Diabetes Association diagnostic recommendations.
Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
Thyroxine (T4) Free
Thyroxine (T4) Free: The portion of thyroxine (T4), a hormone produced by the thyroid gland, that circulates in the blood without being bound to proteins and is available for use by the body's tissues.
Triiodothyronine (T3), Free
Triiodothyronine (T3), Free: The unbound, biologically active form of the thyroid hormone T3 that helps regulate metabolism, energy production, and body temperature. Helps evaluate thyroid function, particularly when hyperthyroidism is suspected.
Reverse T3, Serum
- Reverse T3, Serum: An inactive form of triiodothyronine (T3) produced primarily through the conversion of thyroxine (T4) in the body's tissues.
Cortisol AM
- Cortisol AM: The morning level of cortisol, a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that helps regulate the body's stress response, metabolism, blood pressure, and sleep-wake cycle.
DHEAS
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.
Progesterone
Testosterone, Total
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP-14) with eGFR Blood Test
Glucose
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.

FAQ
1. What is the purpose of this test?
This panel brings together lipid and cardiac markers, blood sugar markers, thyroid hormones, and key hormones in one blood draw. It also includes liver, kidney, electrolyte, and protein markers, plus ferritin. Together, these results give you and your healthcare provider a wider view of how different areas of your health connect. The panel does not diagnose any condition on its own.
2. Who would benefit from this panel, and when should I order it?
This panel suits adults who want a broad look at heart health, blood sugar, thyroid function, and hormone levels in one order. You may consider it when you want a wide-ranging health screening, a baseline to share with your healthcare provider, or a way to monitor markers you have reviewed before. It may also help people who are already monitoring specific markers with their provider and would like several results together instead of ordering separate tests. It can be a helpful follow-up when your provider has suggested checking several of these areas together.
3. Do I need to fast before this test?
Fast for 8–12 hours before your draw. Water is permitted.
4. How quickly will I get results?
1–8 business days. May take longer based on weather, holiday, or lab delays.
5. How do I interpret the results?
Patterns across biomarkers are often more meaningful than any single value. For example, looking at your blood sugar, insulin, and lipid results together can tell a fuller story than one number alone. An abnormal result does not necessarily mean something is wrong, and many factors can influence lab values. Your healthcare provider can put your results in context with your health history and goals.
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.
6. What should I do if my results are abnormal?
Share your results with your healthcare provider, who can decide on any next steps. Do not stop prescribed medication unless instructed by your healthcare provider.
7. How often should I get tested, and why does tracking over time matter?
Testing frequency depends on your personal health goals and circumstances. Your healthcare provider can help you decide whether and when to repeat this panel, and if you are monitoring specific markers, you should retest as directed. Repeat results can help you and your provider notice changes across heart, blood sugar, thyroid, and hormone markers over time. This may support earlier conversations about your health and help you monitor trends, but it does not guarantee any outcome or replace a clinical evaluation.
Pre-test preparation
Fast for 8–12 hours before your draw. Water is permitted. Schedule collection in the morning for accurate cortisol results. Continue medications unless directed otherwise by your healthcare provider. Avoid strenuous exercise and alcohol 24 hours before testing, as these may influence hormone and inflammatory markers.
