This blood panel includes a collection of screenings commonly ordered at an annual physical to evaluate your general health. It measures the essentials including blood sugar, calcium, electrolytes, blood count and liver and kidney function. It may also be used to screen for health conditions, including diabetes.
Preparation: Fast for 12 hours (no food or drink, except water) before sample collection. If you’re taking a supplement containing biotin (also called vitamin B7 or B8, vitamin H, or coenzyme R), commonly found in products promoting nail, skin and hair health, it is recommended that you wait at least 72 hours from your last dose before sample collection.
While 6 in 10 adults have a chronic disease, and 4 in 10 have two or more, changes in lifestyle and behavior (like being more physically active or eating a healthy diet) can prevent or control many of these conditions.¹
Knowing your numbers and the overall quality of your health can help you make more informed decisions to live a healthier lifestyle.²
Regular health exams and tests can help detect health conditions before they start. Screening tests can help find problems early, when your chances for treatment or cure are better.²

Your metabolism is the life force of all your body’s energy, turning what you eat into the fuel to support vital functions including heart rate, brain function and breathing. A metabolic test can reveal how the pieces involved are working to support your body’s needs.
This comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) blood test measures essential components in your blood (including sugars, minerals, electrolytes, enzymes and waste products) that contribute to your overall health and provide information on the functioning status of your metabolism, liver and kidneys. When reviewed by your healthcare provider, a CMP test with a clinical examination may help detect certain health conditions like diabetes, kidney disease, liver inflammation or electrolyte imbalances.
Note: A CMP panel may reveal results that suggest abnormal thyroid function, but it does not directly measure thyroid function. To assess your thyroid function, consider our Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) Test or the Thyroid Health Blood Test Package, which also provides TSH results.
An electrically charged mineral (electrolyte) that helps regulate fluid and acid-base balance within the body.
A measure of a group of proteins that function to help transport nutrients and help the body fight infections.
A mineral essential to bone and muscle health.
An enzyme found in the cells of the liver and other tissue.
A waste product produced by the liver as it breaks down red blood cells.
A protein waste product removed from the blood by the kidneys.
An electrically charged mineral (electrolyte) necessary for healthy muscle and nerve function that also helpsmaintain fluid balance.
An electrically charged mineral (electrolyte) vital to a cell’s ability to take in nutrients and remove waste; it is also essential for muscle function and regulating fluid balance.
The primary type of sugar found in your blood.
The total amount of proteins (including albumin) found in the blood that helps determine overall nutritional status.
The main protein that circulates in the blood, which provides tissue nourishment, carries substances (such as hormones and drugs) in the blood, and helps keep fluids within the blood vessels.
A waste product created by the body’s metabolism that helps maintain the body’s acid-base balance (pH) in the form of the electrolyte bicarbonate.
An enzyme found mostly in the cells of the liver and kidney.
An enzyme found in the cells throughout the body but mostly in the cells of the heart and liver.
A muscle-produced waste product filtered out by the kidneys.
A comparison of BUN levels to creatinine levels, two waste products filtered by the kidneys.
A calculation (factored from your serum creatinine level, age, and gender) used to determine your level of kidney function; the higher your eGFR number, the better your kidneys are working; low results may be a sign of kidney disease.
Your blood is perhaps the most essential substance in your body—transporting life-sustaining nutrients, hormones and oxygen all while carrying waste products for removal through the lungs, liver and kidneys. Blood is also your body's most crucial defense against fighting infections.
This complete blood count (CBC) test counts the cells that circulate in your blood, which can provide valuable information to you and your healthcare provider about your overall health. This full blood panel may also be a first step to detecting health conditions such as anemia, inflammation, blood disorders and infection. This panel measures your red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), and platelets. This is a CBC with differential blood test, which also measures the amount of each type of WBCs that you have in your body (neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, basophils, and eosinophils).
Note: A CBC test is not a diagnostic test and cannot confirm any specific illness or disease. Further testing and medical consultation may be required to determine the cause of abnormal results.
Measures the number of red blood cells (erythrocytes). Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, a protein that carries oxygen throughout the body.
Detects the number of white blood cells (leukocytes) in the body, cells that fight off infections and foreign agents that may infect the body.
Measures the amount of hemoglobin in the blood, the oxygen-carrying protein in red blood cells.
Measures the proportion of red blood cells to the fluid component (or plasma) in your blood.

Measures the level of monocytes, the type of white blood cells responsible for breaking down germs or bacteria that enter the body.
Measures the level of lymphocytes, the white blood cells that are vital to producing antibodies and helping the body fight against bacteria, viruses, and other threats.
Measures the level of neutrophils, the type of white blood cells that destroy bacteria and fungi and protect the body from infections.
White blood cells in an early stage of development which are not usually present in significant amounts in the blood.
Measures the quantity of eosinophils in the body, a type of disease-fighting white blood cell.
Measures the quantity of basophils in your body, a type of white blood cell produced by bone marrow that helps the body fight parasitic infections, prevents blood clotting, and mediates allergic reactions.
Measures the average size of the red blood cells themselves.
Measures MCH levels, the average amount of hemoglobin found in the red blood cells in the body.
Measures MCHC levels, the average weight of hemoglobin based on the volume of red blood cells.
Measures the variation of size and volume of the body’s red blood cells.
White blood cells in an early stage of development which are not usually present in significant amounts in the blood.
Produced as a waste product by the kidneys, your urine can tell you a lot about the state of your health. Many disorders may be detected in their early stages by identifying substances that are generally not present in the urine or by measuring abnormal levels of certain substances including glucose, protein, bilirubin and bacteria.
A routine urine analysis can aid in the detection of a variety of health conditions including urinary tract infections (UTI), kidney diseases and diabetes.
Note: This is not a drug test or pregnancy test. While pregnancy tests and drug screenings often include urine samples, those tests look for substances that are not included in this routine urinalysis.
Detects if nitrites, byproducts of nitrogen waste, are present in the urine. Nitrites in the urine are often the result of certain bacteria that when growing in the bladder, ureters, or kidneys can be a sign of a urinary tract infection (UTI) or other causes.
Detects hemoglobin which usually indicates the presence of microscopic blood in the urine, also known as hematuria.
Measures the level of ketones; compounds made by the liver in response to your body burning fat for energy instead of glucose.
Measures the level of a protein called albumin in urine.
Measures the acidity or alkalinity of urine.
A measure of urine concentration, determined by comparing the density of urine to the density of water, and used to help evaluate hydration status and other urinalysis results.
Measures the level of urobilinogen, a byproduct of bilirubin that is eventually eliminated through the stool and urine.
A visual examination of the urine’s physical appearance, which includes assessing color, clarity, or cloudiness.
The visual examination and classification of the urine’s color.
Measures the levels of leukocyte esterase, an enzyme found in most white blood cells, which indicates the presence of white blood cells in urine.
Measures the number of red blood cells (erythrocytes). Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, a protein that carries oxygen throughout the body. Red blood count testing is not performed if protein, WBC esterase, occult blood, and nitrites are all negative.
Detects the number of white blood cells (leukocytes) in the body, cells that fight off infections and foreign agents that may infect the body. White blood count testing is not performed if protein, WBC esterase, occult blood, and nitrites are all negative.
