This panel helps provide a comprehensive overview of your nutritional status and identify any deficiencies or imbalances that could impact your health.

Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP)

1. CMP: This panel measures 14 different substances in the blood, providing important information about liver and kidney function, blood sugar levels, protein levels, and electrolyte and acid-base balance. It is used to monitor chronic conditions, detect potential side effects of medications, and assess overall metabolic health.

Complete Blood Count (CBC)

1. CBC: This test evaluates the overall health of the blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. It helps diagnose conditions such as anemia, infection, and many other disorders. It is a routine part of initial evaluations and ongoing monitoring in various clinical scenarios.

Vitamin D

1. Vitamin D: This test measures the level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D in the blood. Vitamin D is crucial for bone health, immune function, and overall health. Deficiency can lead to bone disorders such as osteoporosis and rickets, while adequate levels are important for preventing fractures and maintaining bone density.

Ferritin

1. Ferritin: Ferritin is a protein that stores iron, and its levels reflect the body’s iron stores. Measuring ferritin helps diagnose iron deficiency anemia and iron overload disorders such as hemochromatosis. It is also useful in evaluating chronic diseases and inflammatory conditions.

Magnesium

1. Magnesium: This test measures the level of magnesium in the blood, which is essential for numerous biochemical reactions, including muscle and nerve function, blood glucose control, and bone health. Abnormal magnesium levels can indicate various conditions, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease.

Vitamin B12 + Folate

1. Vitamin B12: Important for nerve function, red blood cell production, and DNA synthesis. Deficiency can lead to anemia and neurological issues.
2. Folate (Vitamin B9): Important for DNA synthesis and repair, and red blood cell formation. It’s especially crucial during pregnancy to prevent neural tube defects.

Homocysteine

1. Homocysteine: Measures the level of homocysteine, an amino acid in the blood. Elevated levels can indicate a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases and can suggest deficiencies in vitamins B6, B9 (folate), and B12.
