How it works
questhealth.com offers 100+ consumer-initiated Quest Diagnostics lab tests to empower you to have more control over your health journey. Choose from a variety of test types that best suit your needs.
FAQs
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 to check for medication side effects and medical conditions, including diabetes, liver, and kidney disease.
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.

A urinalysis also called a urine test, identifies abnormalities in the urine's appearance, content, and concentration. This analysis examines the color, clarity, pH, and density of your urine and the presence of glucose, bilirubin, ketones, blood, protein, nitrate, infection, white and red blood cells, skin cells, bacteria, and hyaline casts (microscopic clusters of urinary particles). A urinalysis can determine potential health problems before symptoms develop, including serious diseases like kidney disease, diabetes, or liver disease in their earliest stages.
Symptoms of thyroid disorders may be mild, moderate, or severe and may resemble those of other medical conditions. Symptoms may include:
Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid):
- Weight gain
- Fatigue
- Increased sensitivity to cold
- Thinning hair
- Enlarged thyroid gland (goiter)
- Muscle aches and pains
- Joint pain and stiffness
- Elevated cholesterol levels
- Constipation
- Depression
- Problems with memory
- Slower than normal heart rate
- Dry skin
- Muscle weakness
- Facial puffiness
- Hoarseness
Hyperthyroid (overactive thyroid):
- Increased appetite
- Irregular heartbeat
- Palpitations—a fluttering or pounding heartbeat
- Unintentional weight loss
- More frequent bowel movements
- Anxiety or nervousness
- Sweating
