What This Panel Tests For:
🫀 Cardiovascular Health
-
HDL (Good Cholesterol) – Helps remove bad cholesterol from the bloodstream
-
LDL (Bad Cholesterol) – High levels can lead to plaque buildup in arteries
-
Total Cholesterol – Overall cholesterol health
-
Triglycerides (listed twice, consolidated here) – Elevated levels can increase heart disease risk
-
ApoB – Advanced cholesterol marker; directly linked to plaque formation
-
Lp(a) – A genetic lipid marker associated with higher heart disease risk
-
hsCRP – Detects inflammation, an early sign of cardiovascular issues
🧬 Metabolic Health & Blood Sugar
-
HbA1c – Measures average blood glucose over the past 2–3 months
-
EAG (Estimated Average Glucose) – A glucose trend based on HbA1c
-
C-peptide – Evaluates insulin production, helpful in diabetes diagnosis
-
TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) – Influences metabolism and energy
-
Cortisol – Measures stress hormone levels, which can affect metabolism
🧫 Liver & Kidney Function
-
ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase) – Liver enzyme; high levels may indicate liver stress
-
AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase) – Another liver enzyme often tested with ALT
-
ALP (Alkaline Phosphatase) – Monitors liver and bone health
-
Bilirubin, Direct & Total – Indicators of liver function and bile flow
-
Total Protein – Reflects nutritional status and liver function
-
Creatinine – Measures kidney function
-
BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen) – Assesses kidney and liver function
-
eGFR (Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate) – Determines kidney efficiency
🧠 Why This Test Matters
-
Detect early signs of cardiovascular disease, liver damage, and kidney dysfunction
-
Monitor glucose regulation and insulin production
-
Evaluate thyroid and adrenal hormone balance
-
Gain a full picture of your inflammation and metabolic efficiency
