- ALT (SGPT): Enzyme found primarily in the liver.
- Iron Studies:
- Iron, total: Measures iron in the blood.
- Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC): Measures transferrin, which carries iron.
- UIBC: Unsaturated iron binding capacity (TIBC equals UIBC plus serum iron).
- Iron Saturation: Percentage of iron binding capacity in use.
- Ferritin: Protein that stores iron, reflecting total iron storage.
- ANA Test: Identifies antinuclear antibodies, a marker of autoimmune processes.
- Antinuclear Antibodies, IFA
- ANA Direct
- ANA Pattern
- ANA Titer
- Prothrombin Time (PT): Measures how long blood takes to clot.
- INR: Standardizes PT results across laboratories.
- Ceruloplasmin: Copper-containing enzyme involved in iron metabolism and copper evaluation.
- Alpha-1 Antitrypsin (AAT): Detects hereditary decreases in alpha-1 antitrypsin production.
- Urinalysis Complete with Microscopic Examination: Evaluates urine for abnormalities.

FAQ
1. What does this panel test for?
This panel screens for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis (RPR), hepatitis A, B, and C, HIV, and herpes types 1 and 2. It also adds a CMP-14, iron studies, ANA, PT/INR, ceruloplasmin, alpha-1 antitrypsin, and a complete urinalysis. Together, these results give you a wider snapshot of your infection status and overall health. This panel does not diagnose a condition on its own.
2. Who would benefit from this panel, and when should I order it?
You may benefit if you want comprehensive STD screening along with added blood and urine markers, or if you want to review kidney, liver, iron, and urine markers in the same lab visit. You may consider ordering it if you have symptoms such as unusual discharge, genital sores, painful urination, itching, or abdominal pain, after a possible exposure, or with a new partner. STDs don't always cause symptoms, so screening can still be useful without them.
3. Why does early detection matter?
Many STDs cause mild symptoms or none at all, so screening can help you learn about an infection sooner. Earlier awareness lets you talk with your healthcare provider about next steps and helps you make informed choices about your health and your partners. The additional blood and urine markers can also support ongoing monitoring.
4. How do I prepare for this test?
Fasting for at least 12 hours is required. Do not urinate one hour prior to collection. Stop biotin consumption at least 72 hours prior to the collection.
5. How quickly will I get results?
Results take 3-5 business days. This may take longer based on weather, holiday, or lab delays.
6. How do I interpret the results?
Your results will list each biomarker with a reference range. Patterns across several biomarkers are often more meaningful than any single value, so it helps to review your full report together. Your healthcare provider can explain what the results mean for you.
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.
7. What should I do if my results are abnormal?
An abnormal result does not always mean a problem, but it is worth following up. Contact your healthcare provider to discuss your symptoms and any next steps. They can advise whether further testing or care is appropriate for you.
8. How often should I get tested?
Testing frequency depends on your personal circumstances, so it is best to test as directed by your healthcare provider. You may also choose to test again after a new exposure, a change in symptoms, or when your provider recommends follow-up.
Pre-test preparation
- Fasting for at least 12 hours is required.
