Description
A General Health Blood Panel is a foundational screening tool that evaluates essential biomarkers related to overall health and bodily function. It helps detect early signs of illness, nutritional imbalances, and organ dysfunction—even before symptoms appear. Regular monitoring of these core indicators supports proactive, preventive healthcare.
Tests and Biomarkers Included:
- CBC (Complete Blood Count with Differential):
- Evaluates a range of blood cell biomarkers—including red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelets. This test can help identify infections, anemia, immune system disorders, and other hematologic conditions.
- CMP (Comprehensive Metabolic Panel):
- Assesses biomarkers related to kidney function, liver function, blood sugar levels, electrolytes, and protein balance. This test is crucial for detecting metabolic issues, liver or kidney disease, and dehydration or electrolyte imbalances.
- TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone):
- A biomarker used to assess thyroid function. Abnormal TSH levels can signal hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, which may affect energy levels, weight, and metabolism.
Why This Panel Is Important:
- Provides a broad overview of your current health status
- Detects early signs of chronic conditions
- Helps monitor ongoing medical issues or the effects of medications
- Offers a baseline for future health comparisons
Instructions:
- Fasting is NOT required for this panel.
- Ideal for routine checkups, annual physicals, or anyone interested in a general wellness snapshot.
