Wellness #2 Essential Blood Test Panel

What is the purpose of this test?

The Wellness #2 Essential Blood Test Panel is a comprehensive screening tool designed to assess your overall health and detect early signs of common health conditions. This blood test panel provides essential insights into how well major organs, such as the liver, kidneys, heart, and thyroid, are functioning. It also helps identify nutritional imbalances, infections, and other underlying medical concerns that may not show symptoms right away.

This preventive health screening is especially useful for establishing a health baseline, managing chronic conditions, or preparing for an annual checkup. By combining multiple vital tests into one panel, it offers a broad view of your metabolic function, blood cell health, thyroid activity, and cholesterol levels, making it a valuable tool for both patients and healthcare providers to track progress, monitor treatment plans, and catch problems early.

The Wellness #2 Essential Blood Test Panel includes:

• Complete Metabolic Panel (CMP-14) with eGFR: Measures kidney and liver function, blood sugar, electrolyte levels, and proteins to check for metabolic imbalances or organ problems. The eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate) is especially important for evaluating kidney health.
• Lipid Panel with Total Cholesterol: HDL Ratio: Assesses cholesterol levels, including HDL ("good") and LDL ("bad") cholesterol, triglycerides, and overall heart health. The Total Cholesterol: HDL Ratio helps predict your risk of heart disease or stroke.
• Thyroid Panel with Thyroid-stimulating Hormone (TSH): Evaluates thyroid function, which affects your metabolism, energy, and mood. Abnormal TSH levels may indicate hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism.
• Complete Blood Count (CBC) with Differential and Platelets: Examines red and white blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelets to detect anemia, infections, inflammation, and certain blood disorders.

Who should get this test?

• Adults seeking a routine wellness check-up
• Individuals managing chronic illnesses like diabetes or hypertension
• Patients monitoring kidney, liver, or thyroid function
• People with a family history of heart disease or metabolic conditions
• Those experiencing symptoms like fatigue, weight changes, or frequent infections
• Anyone wanting to establish a baseline for future health monitoring
