Annual Wellness Panel
Complete annual wellness test includes, cell blood count, glucose, liver, kidney and lipid testing.
ABO Group and Rh Type
This test is crucial for identifying blood type and Rh factor, which are essential for determining compatibility for blood transfusions, assessing newborns' risk for hemolytic disease, and identifying candidates for Rh immune globulin treatment.
Anemia Profile B
This panel checks key markers to determine if the patient has levels that point towards anemia.
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.
Basic Metabolic Panel
Set of 8 tests that give important information about the body's chemical balance and metabolism. This includes checking the body's electrolytes, glucose levels, kidney function, and acid-base balance. It's often part of a routine check-up or physical exam.
Hemoglobin A1c
Calcitriol 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D
This test checks the active form of vitamin D in the body. It's mainly used to help figure out why a person has low calcium levels and to keep an eye on people with bone problems due to kidney disease or those with chronic kidney failure.
Calcium Test
Measures the total amount of calcium in the blood, including both bound and free calcium. This essential mineral plays a crucial role in bone health, muscle contraction, nerve function, and heart function. The test is used to evaluate parathyroid function, monitor conditions that affect calcium metabolism such as kidney disease, hyperparathyroidism, and bone diseases. Abnormal levels can indicate a range of issues, from vitamin D deficiency to serious kidney or parathyroid disorders.
Cardio IQ® Direct LDL
This test measures LDL Cholesterol, often called the "bad" cholesterol, because high levels can lead to heart disease. The results are interpreted using the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) guidelines to help understand your risk.
Cardio IQ® Homocysteine
This test measures the level of Homocysteine in your blood. High levels of Homocysteine are linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, such as heart attacks and strokes. Keeping Homocysteine levels in check is crucial for heart health.
CBC (Complete Blood Count)
Fundamental blood test that evaluates various components of the blood, including red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelets. This test provides crucial information about the general health of a person and is used to diagnose and monitor a wide range of conditions, including anemia, infections, inflammation, bleeding disorders, and bone marrow problems.
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.
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel
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.
Factor II Activity, Clotting
The Factor II Activity clotting assay provides a quantitative level of Factor II (also known as Prothrombin) activity. Factor II/Prothrombin is essential for normal hemostasis and deficiencies are associated with increased bleeding risk. As a vitamin K- dependent clotting factor, decreased levels are observed with vitamin K antagonists (eg. warfarin therapy) and vitamin K deficiency. Deficiencies may also occur with hepatic dysfunction or as a result of inhibitor development. Antibodies to prothrombin can occur in patients with anti- phospholipid antibodies and can cause significant clinical bleeding; however, because these antibodies bind to a nonactive portion of the molecule, increased clearance occurs, so that a deficiency rather than an inhibitor is detected. Congenital Factor II deficiency is extremely rare.
Folate, Serum
This test checks the level of folic acid in your body, which is especially important for pregnant women, people who don't eat enough raw fruits and vegetables, those with alcohol dependence, and individuals with damage to their small intestine. Sometimes, low levels of folic acid might be due to not having enough vitamin B12, which affects folate levels. Dietary supplements containing biotin may interfere in assay results. For patients supplementing with daily doses of biotin, draw samples at least 8-72 hours following the last biotin supplementation.
Iron, TIBC and Ferritin Panel
This serum iron study panel may help diagnose iron deficiency or overload. Because ferritin level can be affected by clinical conditions other than iron disorders, the measurement of transferrin saturation-calculated from serum iron level and total iron binding capacity (TIBC)-in the same serum specimen may facilitate the diagnosis of iron deficiency or overload. Serum ferritin level generally reflects body iron storage and can be used in the diagnosis of iron deficiency and overload. Transferrin saturation is the percentage of iron bound to transferrin. In patients with anemia, ferritin levels are most frequently used to determine whether iron deficiency is the cause. However, as an acute phase protein, ferritin levels can be increased independently of iron status in inflammatory conditions, kidney disease, liver disease, and malignancy. In these clinical scenarios, the combination of ferritin level with other tests, such as transferrin saturation.
Lipid Panel, Cardio IQ®
This is the most widely used Lipid Panel, essential for detecting, classifying, and monitoring hyperlipidemia, a condition characterized by high levels of fats in the blood. Understanding your lipid levels is crucial for heart health.
Thyroid Panel
Vitamin A
Critical for vision, growth, and many cell functions. High concentrations of Vitamin A are seen with renal failure, but this is not associated with toxicity and excessive ingestion. High concentrations are associated with bone fractures. Low concentrations of Vitamin A are consistent with fat malabsorption and are rarely due to inadequate diet.
Vitamin B1
Required for branched-chain amino acid and carbohydrate metabolism. Vitamin B1 deficiency is most often due to alcoholism or chronic illness. In the early stage, patients with vitamin B1 deficiency exhibit anorexia, irritability, apathy, and generalized weakness. Prolonged deficiency causes beriberi.
Vitamin B2
Involved in metabolism of fats, carbohydrates, and protein. The clinical manifestations of deficiency are non-specific. Clinical manifestations include mucocutaneous lesions of the mouth and skin, corneal vascularization, anemia, and personality changes
Vitamin B3
Nicotinic acid occurs naturally in plants and animals and is also added to many foods as a vitamin supplement.
Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid)
Is a component of coenzyme A and phosphopantetheine both of which are involved in fatty acid metabolism. It is essential to almost all forms of life and is widely distributed in food.
Vitamin B6
Test is used to determine vitamin B6 deficiency or overdosage, for monitoring treatment, and to evaluate wellness and health.
Vitamin B12
Is decreased in pernicious anemia, total or partial gastrectomy, malabsorption and certain congenital and biochemical disorders.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is an antioxidant involved in connective tissue metabolism, drug-metabolizing systems, and mixed-function oxidase systems to list a few. Vitamin C deficiency causes scurvy; manifestations include impaired formation of mature connective tissue, bleeding into the skin, weakness, fatigue, and depression.
Vitamin E
Deficiency of vitamin E may cause extensive neuropathy in young children and, in addition, is suspect as a possible cause of motor and sensory neuropathy in older children and in adults. One likely cause of vitamin E deficiency is intestinal malabsorption, resulting from bowel disease, pancreatic disease, or chronic cholestasis. Other causes of malabsorption of vitamin E include celiac disease, cystic fibrosis, and intestinal lymphangiectasia.
