What this panel measures
This is the single best general test for annual health monitoring. It includes fasting blood work as well as a urine analysis.
This profile includes:
Chemistry screen:
- Fasting Glucose (blood sugar)
- Uric acid
- BUN (blood urea nitrogen): Measures liver and kidney function
- Creatinine: A test used to measure kidney function
- BUN/Creatinine Ratio: For diagnosis of impaired renal function
- Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) – kidney function
- Sodium
- Potassium
- Chloride
- Calcium
- Carbon Dioxide
- Phosphorus
- Magnesium
- Total Protein
- Albumin
- Globulin
- Albumin/Globulin Ratio
- Bilirubin: Evaluates kidney and liver function
- Alkaline Phosphatase: Evaluation of liver and bone diseases
- LDH (lactic dehydrogenase)
- AST (SGOT): Evaluates liver function
- ALT (SGPT): Evaluates liver function
- GGT: Liver function
- Iron (serum)
Lipid Profile: Evaluates the risk for developing atherosclerosis (arterial plaque) and coronary heart disease.
- Total Cholesterol
- Triglycerides
- HDL Cholesterol
- LDL Cholesterol
- VLDL
- Total Cholesterol/HDL Ratio
Complete Blood Count with Differential and Platelet Count:
- Red blood cell count
- Hemoglobin
- Hematocrit
- Red blood cell indices
- Mean corpuscular hemoglobin
- Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration
- Red blood cell distribution
- White blood cell count
- Differential count
- Platelet coun
Thyroid Function
- TSH (Thyroid stimulating hormones)
- T4 (total)
- T3 Uptake
Urinalysis – Diabetes, various forms of kidney disease, and chronic urinary tract infections can show in the urine even if they are not causing symptoms. This test includes urine chemistry and a microscopic evaluation of urine to screen for occult (“hidden” disease).
Additional Health Markers – Cardiac, Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome.
- Hemoglobin A1C — blood sugar control over a 2-3 month period. The “Gold standard” screen for diabetes, pre-diabetes and metabolic syndrome.
- CRP, High Sensitivity (sign of subtle inflammation). A factor in many diseases including heart disease.
- Ferritin (storage iron). Higher levels are strongly associated with increased heart disease risk. Very low levels indicate iron deficiency anemia.
- TIBC / % Saturation (Total Iron Binding Capacity) – Helps differentiate between various types of anemia and to diagnose iron overload (a heart-risk factor).
How It Works
After purchase you will receive an email with your blood and urine scripts along with instructions on where to complete testing. Results are typically emailed within 3–5 business days depending on the lab, followed by a follow-up call from Dr. Robinson who reviews every value with you and builds the plan from there.
