- Albumin/Globulin Ratio: A calculated ratio that, alongside other results, can help evaluate liver health.
- Bilirubin, Total: Can help identify liver-related conditions; high levels may cause jaundice.
- Alkaline Phosphatase: A protein used to help evaluate bone disorders and liver disease.
- AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase): An enzyme used to help evaluate liver function.
- ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase): An enzyme used to help identify liver damage.
Fluids & Electrolytes
- Sodium: A major body fluid salt important for water balance and nerve and muscle activity.
- Potassium: Helps control the activity of your nerves and muscles.
- Chloride: Helps maintain your body's electrolyte balance.
- Carbon Dioxide, Total: Used to help evaluate and monitor electrolyte balance.
- Calcium: Supports healthy bones and teeth and the normal function of muscles, nerves, and clotting.
Lipid Panel With Total Cholesterol: HDL Ratio
- Cholesterol, Total: Used to assess heart health; needed by the body, but high levels raise cardiovascular risk.
- Triglycerides: Fats carried in the bloodstream that provide energy to the body.
- HDL Cholesterol: "Good" cholesterol that helps carry cholesterol back to the liver for processing.
- LDL Cholesterol: "Bad" cholesterol (calculated) that can deposit on artery walls.
- Non-HDL Cholesterol: Cholesterol carried by all lipoproteins other than HDL, another marker of cardiovascular risk. (Not included in Labcorp)
- VLDL Cholesterol (Calculated): Very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, calculated as part of your lipid profile. (Labcorp only)
- Total Cholesterol/HDL Ratio: A calculated ratio used to help gauge relative heart disease risk.
Additional Hormone and Wellness Markers
- Testosterone, Free and Total: Measures both active (free) and total testosterone, a hormone present in both women and men that supports reproductive and hormonal balance.
Lab-specific note (LabCorp only): Any Testosterone Free (Direct) or Total Testosterone result exceeding 1500 will be reported as ">1500."
- DHEAS (DHEA Sulfate): An adrenal hormone that serves as a building block for sex hormones and cortisol.
- Estradiol: A hormone that supports reproductive health, menstrual cycle regulation, and bone health.
- Fibrinogen Activity: A clotting protein that helps your body form clots to stop bleeding.
- C-Reactive Protein, Cardiac: Reflects inflammation in the body and helps assess cardiovascular risk.
- Homocysteine: An amino acid that, at high levels, has been associated with increased cardiovascular risk.
- TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone): Regulates thyroid hormone production, which affects metabolism and energy.
- Vitamin D, 25-Hydroxy: Reflects your vitamin D status, important for bone, muscle, and calcium absorption.
Benefits
- Assesses hormonal balance through markers like estradiol and testosterone.
- Evaluates thyroid function, which affects metabolism and energy levels.
- Reviews red and white blood cell health through a complete CBC.
- Screens blood glucose to help support diabetes awareness.
- Reviews cardiovascular markers including lipids, CRP, and homocysteine.
- Checks liver, kidney, and vitamin D status in one panel.

FAQ
1. What is the purpose of this test?
This panel brings together a complete blood count, a comprehensive metabolic panel (covering kidney, liver, and electrolyte markers), a lipid panel, and additional markers such as thyroid, hormonal, inflammatory, and vitamin D testing. Together, these panels offer a broad view of your blood cell health, organ function, metabolic status, and hormonal balance. This panel is not intended to diagnose any condition on its own.
2. Who would benefit from this test?
Women who want a comprehensive overview of their general health, including blood cell counts, organ function, lipid status, thyroid activity, and hormone levels, may find this panel useful. It can also appeal to anyone wanting a broad set of wellness markers to review with a healthcare provider.
3. When should I order this panel?
You might consider this panel as part of a general wellness check, to get a broad snapshot of multiple body systems at once, or to track select markers over time. It is not intended to diagnose any specific condition, and it does not replace guidance from your healthcare provider.
4. Do I need to fast before this test?
Yes. You should fast for 12–14 hours prior to collection, maintain a stable diet for 2–3 weeks beforehand, and stop biotin 72 hours before collection.
5. How quickly will I get results?
Results are typically available in 4-7 days, though this may take longer based on weather, holidays, or lab delays.
6. How do I interpret the results?
Individual results are only part of the picture. Patterns across multiple biomarkers are often more meaningful than any single value on its own. Your healthcare provider is best positioned to interpret your results in the context of your personal health history.
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?
If any of your results fall outside the expected range, share them with your healthcare provider. They can help you understand what the results mean in the context of your overall health and discuss any appropriate next steps.
8. How often should I get tested?
There is no single testing schedule that fits everyone. How often you retest this panel should be decided as directed by your healthcare provider, based on your individual health needs.
9. Why early detection matters
Reviewing markers like blood counts, metabolic function, lipids, and hormone levels together may support earlier awareness of changes in your health over time. Regular monitoring, guided by your healthcare provider, can be one part of staying informed about your overall wellness. This panel does not guarantee detection of any condition.
Pre-Test Preparation
Maintain a stable diet for 2–3 weeks before blood collection and fast for 12–14 hours prior to your appointment. Stop biotin 72 hours before collection.
