About the Test

The Men’s CHP provides a deep dive into your health to provide a more complete picture of your overall wellness. It includes tests for heart health, kidney health, liver health, bone health, diabetes risk, and other health factors. The expanded profile contains important tests to identify potential health risks or medical conditions: Complete Blood Count (CBC), Complete Metabolic Panel (CMP), Cholesterol Panel, Vitamin D Test, Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) Test, High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) Test, Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Test, Urinalysis, Biometric Screening, Health Risk Assessment, Personalized Health Quotient Score, Personal discussion with a doctor

The Men’s Comprehensive Health Profile is a beneficial tool containing crucial screening tests and panels which may help identify health risks or detect common medical conditions such as high cholesterol, heart disease, kidney or liver disease, vitamin deficiency, blood disorders, prostate disorders, prediabetes and diabetes, inflammatory diseases, and other 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.

The Vitamin D test measures the level of vitamin D in your blood to regulate calcium and phosphorus, which are essential nutrients to promote bone and cellular health. An adequate level of this vitamin is necessary for immune function, heart and blood vessel health, insulin regulation, and mood. Abnormal levels of vitamin D can indicate bone disease, nutrition disorders, or other metabolic complications.

Prostate-specific antigen is a protein produced in the prostate by both cancerous and non-cancerous cells. The PSA test measures the level of PSA in your blood which may be elevated due to prostate cancer. However, high levels of PSA do not always indicate the presence of prostate cancer. Other prostate conditions such as enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia) or inflammation of the prostate (prostatitis) can cause an increase in PSA levels. PSA levels also increase with age. This test is for men between 55 to 69 years old, who want to monitor their prostate health. If you are over 40 years old and have certain risk factors, you may also consider this test or consult with a healthcare provider to determine if you could benefit from getting tested.

The HbA1c test is used to measure your average blood sugar levels over the past 3 months. Healthcare professionals use this test to determine disease states such as prediabetes or type 2 diabetes or to help you monitor your levels if you have diabetes. An elevated HbA1c level means that your blood sugar levels have been high over the past 3 months. The HbA1c test reports your blood sugar levels as a percentage.

C-reactive protein found in the bloodstream increases in response to inflammation, infection, and following a heart attack, surgery, or trauma. The hs-CRP is more sensitive than a CRP test and accurately detects low but persistent levels of inflammation, which may be associated with developing cardiovascular disease (CVD). A persistently low level of inflammation may be a sign of atherosclerosis, the narrowing of blood vessels caused by the buildup of cholesterol and other lipids, which is frequently associated with CVD.

At the time of your appointment, physical measurements such as your height, weight, waist size, and blood pressure are taken to provide you with additional health-related information. Chronic health conditions, including heart disease and diabetes, are associated with risk factors such as increased waist circumference and high blood pressure.

The Health Risk Assessment is a brief survey that captures family health history and current health and wellness behaviors.

Your Health Quotient Score is a unique number developed by Quest that represents your health on a scale of 1 to 100. This score is unique to each individual and considers family health history, health and wellness behaviors, body measurements, and select laboratory test results. The higher the score, the lesser the risk may be of developing chronic diseases, such as diabetes, heart, liver, or kidney disease. Additionally, you can see how your Health Quotient Score changes by tracking your progress over time.

Includes a one-on-one discussion with a doctor who will review your results and work with you to develop measurable and achievable health goals. You may request the discussion when your results are ready.

Our Men’s Comprehensive Health Profile is available to adults who want to monitor their overall health. You must be 18 years of age or older to purchase.

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 to 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.

How is A1C different from a glucose measurement?

The A1C test measure your average blood glucose levels over the past 3 months from the time of testing, whereas glucose measurements indicate your current blood glucose level at the time of testing.

What is the purpose of urinalysis, and what does it detect?

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.

How can my results be affected?

Eating, drinking, or exercising before the test, certain medications, diet, dehydration, and other factors can affect the results of this test.

What can cause an elevated PSA?

There are several reasons why PSA levels may be higher than normal:

Age: As men get older, their PSA levels tend to rise.
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH): In some men, the prostate grows bigger and produces more PSA than usual due to its larger size
Medications: Some medications, such as finasteride and some cholesterol-lowering medications can alter your PSA level. Be sure to tell your provider about any medications you are taking before your PSA test
Prostate cancer: In a healthy prostate, PSA is secreted in small amounts into the bloodstream, but levels can increase as cancer develops
Prostatitis: Prostatitis is a painful condition in which the prostate is inflamed, swollen, and tender. It is often caused by a bacterial infection, though sometimes the cause is unknown. In some cases, an elevated PSA level may increase because of irritation of the prostate
Urinary tract infection: An infection in the urinary system can irritate the prostate and cause inflammation; this can cause the prostate to make more PSA

What are symptoms of a prostate disorder?

Any individual with a prostate gland is at risk of developing a prostate disorder. Symptoms include:

Frequent urge to urinate
Dribbling of urine
Getting up many times during the night to urinate
Blood in urine or semen
Pain or burning during urination
Painful ejaculation
Frequent pain in the lower back, pelvic or rectal area
Pain caused by touching the prostate
Change in size, firmness, or texture of the prostate
Lumps or hard areas spreading beyond the prostate

If you have any of these symptoms, you should consider consulting with a healthcare provider.

Is prostate screening right for me?

The American Cancer Society (ACS) encourages men to have a discussion with a healthcare provider about whether prostate cancer screening is appropriate for them.¹

Prostate cancer screening is not recommended by ACS for men who do not meet these criteria. The US Preventive Services Task Force² and Johns Hopkins Medicine³ recommend screening every 2 to 3 years. Speak with your primary care provider to better understand your own risk.

For those who choose to have prostate cancer screening, the ACS recommends the PSA blood test for individuals in the following risk categories:

Men 50 years of age with an average risk of developing prostate cancer and no underlying health conditions that may reduce life expectancy
Men 45 years of age with a high risk of developing prostate cancer, African American men, and those with an immediate family member who was diagnosed with prostate cancer before the age of 65
Men 40 years of age with a higher risk of developing prostate cancer, such as individuals who have multiple immediate family members with prostate cancer who were diagnosed at an early age
