About the Test

The Basic Health Profile contains important tests to identify potential health risks or medical conditions. The Complete Blood Count Panel (CBC) measures red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. The Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) includes 14 different measurements to evaluate overall body function in effectively breaking down and using nutrients from food to provide the necessary energy for cells (metabolism). The Cholesterol Panel measures cholesterol and triglyceride levels to help evaluate the health of your heart and arteries. The Urinalysis screens for possible problems with your metabolism and kidneys by examining the appearance, concentration, and content of your urine.

The Basic Health Profile is a useful tool containing fundamental screening tests that may help identify risk or the presence of common medical conditions including high cholesterol, heart disease, kidney or liver disease, blood disorders, diabetes, and other health conditions.

A CBC measures multiple components of your blood to help identify bleeding disorders or infections and to evaluate abnormal levels of specific blood components, such as low levels of red blood cells, which transport oxygen to body cells and tissues (anemia) and high levels of abnormal white blood cells that crowd out red blood cells and platelets (leukemia).

A CMP (also known as a Chem 14) is a broad screening tool that assesses 14 different substances to evaluate sugar (glucose) levels, kidney function, liver function, and electrolyte imbalance. This panel of tests is often used by healthcare professionals to detect and monitor various abnormalities, including nutrient balance, diabetes, and kidney and liver disease.

A Cholesterol Panel measures fatty substances used as energy by the body, including cholesterol and triglycerides. Abnormally high levels can build up in the blood and increase your risk for heart disease or stroke. This panel of tests measures total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and triglycerides.

A urinalysis, also called a urine panel, consists of a series of tests used to evaluate visual, chemical, and microscopic features of urine. Urinalysis may be used to identify potential risks for diabetes, liver disease, and kidney disease.

You must be 18 years of age or older to purchase. Purchases not permitted in: AK, AZ, HI.

FAQs

What does the Comprehensive Metabolic Panel measure?

The Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) includes measurements for blood sugar (glucose), electrolytes and fluid balance (sodium, calcium, potassium, carbon dioxide, chloride), proteins (albumin, total protein), kidney health (blood urea nitrogen, creatinine), and liver health (alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, aspartate aminotransferase, bilirubin). The CMP can provide insight into your overall health or check for medication side effects and medical conditions, including diabetes, liver, and kidney disease.

What does the Complete Blood Count measure?

A Complete Blood Count (CBC) includes measurements for red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelets.

Red blood cells (RBCs), also known as erythrocytes, carry oxygen from your lungs to the tissues and organs in your body. Your red blood cell count measures the concentration of RBCs in your blood sample, while hemoglobin indicates the amount of this oxygen-carrying protein inside those RBCs. A hematocrit test measures how much of your blood is made up of red blood cells. A platelet count indicates the concentration of platelets, vital to blood clotting, your blood contains.

A CBC also offers information regarding the physical characteristics of red blood cells. The mean corpuscular volume (MCV) is a measurement used to describe the average size of red blood cells. The mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) value represents the average amount of hemoglobin contained in each red blood cell, whereas the mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) value represents the hemoglobin concentration within red blood cells. The red cell distribution width (RDW) indicates your red blood cells' size variation and similarity.

White blood cells (WBCs), also known as leukocytes, are a component of the immune system which are classified into the following types: lymphocytes, neutrophils, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils. They each perform a unique function and work together in response to injury or illness by attacking unknown substances or organisms that enter the body.
