Wellness Express Blood Test Panel

Quick Facts

• Sample: Blood
• Fasting: Fast 12–14 hours before collection, keep a stable diet for 2–3 weeks, and stop biotin 72 hours before collection
• Turnaround: 2-4 business days (may take longer based on weather, holiday, or lab delays)

What's Included

Lipid Panel With Total Cholesterol:HDL Ratio

• Cholesterol, Total - A measurement used to assess heart health. Cholesterol is required by your body to build healthy cells, but high cholesterol levels can increase your risk of heart disease.
• Triglycerides - Surplus fats transported in the bloodstream and provide energy to the body.
• HDL Cholesterol - High-density lipoproteins, or "good" cholesterol, take cholesterol away from the cells and transport it back to the liver for removal or processing.
• LDL Cholesterol - Low-density lipoproteins (calculation), or "bad" cholesterol, contain the highest percentage of cholesterol and are responsible for depositing cholesterol on the artery walls.
• Non HDL Cholesterol (Not Included with LabCorp): A measure of cholesterol carried outside of HDL particles.
• Total Cholesterol: HDL Ratio - The Total Cholesterol to HDL Ratio is a critical indicator of the balance between good and bad cholesterol in the body. A ratio of less than 5:1 is considered optimal, while a ratio higher than 6:1 indicates an increased risk of developing heart disease.
• VLDL Cholesterol (calculated, Labcorp only): Cholesterol carried by very low-density lipoproteins, which primarily transport triglycerides through the bloodstream

Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP-14) with eGFR Blood Test

Blood Sugar

• Glucose: The amount of sugar in your blood, used to screen for and monitor diabetes.

Kidney Profile

• BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen): A waste product formed when the body breaks down protein, normally removed by the kidneys.
• Creatinine, Serum: A waste product from normal muscle activity that is filtered from the blood by the kidneys.
• BUN/Creatinine Ratio: A calculated value (BUN divided by creatinine) that can suggest conditions like dehydration or intestinal bleeding.
• Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR): A calculated estimate of how effectively the kidneys filter waste from the blood, used to assess kidney function.

Liver Panel

• Protein, Total: The combined amount of albumin and globulin proteins in the blood, which helps assess liver and kidney function and nutritional health.
• Albumin, Serum: A protein produced by the liver that helps maintain fluid balance and transport substances through the blood.
• Globulin, Total: A group of blood proteins involved in immune defense, transporting substances, and other important body functions.
• Albumin/Globulin Ratio: A calculated value (albumin divided by globulin) that, alongside other results, can assist in evaluating liver problems.
• Bilirubin, Total: A yellow pigment produced during the normal breakdown of red blood cells and processed by the liver. Elevated levels can cause jaundice.
• Alkaline Phosphatase: An enzyme found primarily in the liver, bile ducts, and bones that can help identify liver or bone disorders.
• Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST or SGOT): An enzyme found in the liver and other tissues, such as the heart and muscles, that is released into the blood when cells are damaged.
• Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT or SGPT): An enzyme that helps identify liver damage. Abnormal levels may represent liver disease.

Fluids & Electrolytes

• Sodium: One of the major salts in your body fluid, important for water balance and the electrical activity of nerves and muscles.
• Potassium: Helps control the function of your nerves and muscles.
• Chloride: Similar to sodium, it helps maintain your body's electrolyte balance.
• Carbon Dioxide, Total: A measure that primarily reflects bicarbonate in the blood, helping assess the body's acid-base balance.
• Calcium: A mineral essential for developing and maintaining healthy bones and teeth, and for normal muscle, nerve, and blood clotting function.

Iron

• Iron: Measures the amount of iron in your blood. Helps assess iron levels and identify deficiencies that may affect red blood cell production and oxygen transport. 

Phosphorus

• Phosphorus: An essential mineral found primarily in bones and teeth that supports energy production, cell function, and bone health. Abnormal blood levels may indicate kidney dysfunction or disorders affecting mineral balance.

Uric Acid

• Uric Acid: A waste product formed when the body breaks down purines. Helps assess uric acid levels and identify potential issues related to gout or kidney stones.

Lactic Acid Dehydrogenase

• Lactic Acid Dehydrogenase (LD): An enzyme found in many tissues, including the liver, heart, muscles, and red blood cells, that is released into the blood when cells are damaged. 

Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase 

• Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT): An enzyme found mainly in the liver and bile ducts that can help identify liver or bile duct problem

FAQ

1. Do I need to fast or prepare for this test?

Yes. Keep a stable diet for 2–3 weeks before your blood collection, and fast for 12–14 hours beforehand. Stop taking biotin 72 hours before collection.

2. How quickly will I get results?

Expect your results in 2-4 business days. Weather, holidays, or lab delays may make it take longer.

3. What can my results tell me?

Think of this panel as a set of snapshots from different body systems. The lipid panel looks at cholesterol and triglycerides, while the CMP-14 covers blood sugar, kidney and liver markers, electrolytes, and minerals. Uric acid, LD, and GGT add further detail. Together, they give you and your provider a broad view to review.

4. How do I interpret the results?

No single number tells the whole story. Your provider will look at patterns across the panel, along with your symptoms, medical history, medications, and how you prepared for the draw. Each marker carries a different kind of information, and measured values, calculated values, and ratios are not read the same way. Bring your full report to a qualified healthcare provider for review.

Disclaimer: Reference ranges may vary by laboratory. Listed ranges are general guidelines and may differ from those used by the performing lab. Always consult your healthcare provider for interpretation.

5. What should I do if my results are abnormal?

Stay calm and set up a conversation with a qualified healthcare provider. One out-of-range value rarely tells the full story, and your provider can weigh it alongside your other results and your personal context. They will decide whether any follow-up is appropriate. Avoid making changes to your routine or medications based on the report alone.

Pre-test preparation
