Acomprehensive general wellness blood test provides a snapshot of your overall organ health, cancer screening and risks for other potential life threatening health issues. This panel also checks kidney and liver function, blood sugar levels, thyroid problems, cholesterol, female hormone levels and blood disorders such as leukemia, autoimmune disorders and iron deficiency anemia.
Tests
| Name | Description |
| CBC with Differential | Complete blood count (CBC) gives important information about the number of cells in the blood, especially red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. A CBC helps your health professional check any symptoms, such as weakness, fatigue, or bruising that you may have. A CBC also helps the physician diagnose conditions, such as anemia, infection, and many other disorders. |
| CMP (14) | A comprehensive metabolic panel is a blood test that measures your sugar (glucose) level, electrolyte and fluid balance, kidney function, and liver function. |
| NMR Lipo Profile | A standard cholesterol test doesn’t give you enough information to know your true risk for heart disease. The NMR Lipo Profile test provides the number of LDL particles. This advanced test also measures the particle size and enables your doctor to take simple steps to reduce your risk by lowering your LDL particle count to acceptable levels. |
| TSH | A thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) blood test is used to check for thyroid gland problems. TSH is produced when the hypothalamus releases a substance called thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH). TRH then triggers the pituitary gland to release TSH. TSH causes the thyroid gland to make two hormones: triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). T3 and T4 help control your body's metabolism. An underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism) can cause symptoms such as weight gain, fatigue, dry skin, constipation, a feeling of being too cold, or frequent menstrual periods. An overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) can cause symptoms such as weight loss, rapid heart rate, nervousness, diarrhea, a feeling of being too hot, or irregular menstrual periods. |
| Total Estrogen | Estrogen is a female reproductive hormone produced by the ovaries.Estrogen is an essential part of a woman’s reproductive process. It regulates the menstrual cycle and prepares the uterus for pregnancy by enriching and thickening the endometrium.After menopause, women experience a reduction in estrogen. This can lead to vaginal dryness, memory problems, fatigue, irritability, hot flashes, night sweats and possibly one of the most devastating problems, a decrease in bone density leading to osteoporosis. |
| Iron Serum | Iron is an essential mineral in the body that helps promote oxygen from the lungs to your tissues and organs and produce an adequate number of healthly red blood cells. |
| CEA 125 Cancer Screen | Tumor markers are molecules occurring in blood or tissue that are associated with cancer and whose measurement or identification is useful in patient diagnosis or clinical management. Although CEA was first indentified in colon cancer, an abnormal CEA blood level is specific for neither colon cancer or malignancy in general. Elevated CEA levels are found in a variety of cancers other than colonic, including pancreatic, gastric, lung, and breast. It is also detected in benign conditions including cirrhosis, inflammatory bowel disease, chronic lung disease, and pancreatitis. |
