Comprehensive Metabolic Panel

Serum

The Comprehensive Metabolic Panel is a set of tests that gives a broad overview of your body's chemical balance and metabolism. It checks your blood's levels of important substances like electrolytes, calcium, phosphorus, and glucose. It also looks at how well your kidneys and liver are working and your body's acid-base balance. This panel is often part of a routine health check to spot any disorders, especially those affecting the liver or kidneys.

hs-CRP

Serum

This test is important for assessing the risk of cardiovascular disease. It measures the level of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in the blood, which can indicate inflammation in the body. High levels of hs-CRP are associated with a higher risk of heart attacks and strokes.

Apolipoprotein B

Serum

Apolipoprotein B (APO B) Test - This test measures the level of Apolipoprotein B (APO B) in your blood, which is a strong indicator of coronary artery disease (CAD). It's particularly useful because APO B levels can be elevated even when LDL cholesterol levels are normal, helping to identify risk in patients who might otherwise be considered low-risk based on cholesterol alone.

CBC (includes Differential and Platelets)

Whole Blood

CBC (Complete Blood Count) with Differential and Platelets - This test is a comprehensive screening tool used to evaluate overall health and detect a wide range of disorders, including anemia, leukemia, and inflammation. It measures several components of your blood, including red and white blood cells, platelets, hemoglobin, and hematocrit, providing valuable information about your body's condition.

Lipid Panel, Standard

Serum

Lipid Panel, Standard - The Lipid Panel, Standard measures serum cholesterol and triglyceride (TG) levels; it includes evaluation of the cholesterol/HDL-C ratio (calculated), HDL-C, LDL-C (calculated), non-HDL-C (calculated), total cholesterol, and TG. Comprehensive lipid assessment aids in the evaluation of cardiovascular risk and the likelihood of suffering an ischemic event. It is also useful for the prevention and management of atherosclerotic disease, as well as the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome.

Lipoprotein Fractionation, NMR with Lipid Panel (Triglycerides/HDL-C)

Serum

Lipoprotein Fractionation, NMR with Lipid Panel (Triglycerides/HDL-C) - The Lipoprotein Fractionation, NMR test is used to help assess the risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with intermediate or high risk based on traditional or emerging risk factors, and to assess therapeutic response in patients undergoing lipid-lowering therapy. The lipid panel is used to determine an individual's risk of developing cardiovascular disease and to monitor the efficacy of therapy or lifestyle changes.

Black Olive (rf342) IgE

Serum

Black Olive (rf342) IgE - This test checks for allergic reactions to black olives by measuring specific IgE antibodies in the blood. A high level of these antibodies suggests a strong chance of immediate allergic reactions when exposed to black olives.

Blackberry (f211) IgE

Serum

Blackberry (f211) IgE - This test measures the body's immune response to blackberries by assessing the level of specific IgE antibodies in the serum. It's useful for identifying allergies to blackberries, helping to guide dietary recommendations and manage allergic reactions.

Biotin (Vitamin B7)

Serum

Biotin (Vitamin B7) - Biotin, vitamin B7, or vitamin H, is a water soluble vitamin. The vitamin plays a role in the transferring of carbon dioxide in the metabolism of fat, carbohydrate and protein by functioning as an enzyme cofactor. It is involved in multiple biochemical reactions including niacin metabolism, amino acid degradation, and the formation of purine, which is an integral part of nucleic acids. It interacts with histone by the action of biotinyl-transferase.

Birch (t3) IgE

Serum

Birch (t3) IgE - This test measures your body's IgE response to Birch by checking the level of specific IgE antibodies in the serum. It's particularly useful for individuals who may be experiencing seasonal allergies, helping to confirm the cause of symptoms. It is intended to be used in conjunction with other clinical information to aid in the diagnosis of allergic diseases
