Includes:

• Kidney Function: This is an evaluation of how your kidneys are functioning. The kidneys’ job is to filter the blood. Medications that are filtered by the kidney can accumulate in the blood if kidney function is not normal. A blood urea nitrogen (BUN) test measures the amount of urea nitrogen in your blood and is an indicator of the kidney’s ability to function as a filter. Creatinine is a compound produced by the muscles in your body and, like urea nitrogen, is filtered out of the blood by the kidneys. Measuring both of these levels can give your provider an idea of how your kidneys are functioning. 
• Liver tests: Show substances made by the liver. Abnormal results can indicate liver inflammation, fatty liver, or damage to the heart, bones, or muscles. It can also be from medications, liver injury due to substance like alcohol consumption or hepatitis. 

Includes:

• CBC: Is a group of blood tests that measure the number and size of the different cells in your blood. A CBC measures: Red blood cells, which carry oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body. White blood cells, which fight infections and other diseases.

Includes:

• Lipid Panel: Helps to determine risk factors for cardiovascular disease and stroke. High LDL cholesterol or “low density lipoproteins” sometimes called “bad cholesterol” can indicate greater cardiovascular risk. Low HDL cholesterol or “high density lipoproteins” sometimes called “good cholesterol” can be similarly concerning for higher cardiovascular risk. High values of cholesterol and triglycerides, similarly, have been shown to be associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease. 

Includes:

• Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH): Your thyroid is an important gland that helps regulate metabolism. A high or low level could indicate metabolic dysfunction. 

Includes:

• Hemoglobin A1c: A1c is a measure of the long-term (3 month) history of your body’s ability to manage blood glucose. Elevated A1c can indicate problems regulating blood sugar levels, which is important for good health. An A1c 5.7-6.4 is an indication of Pre-diabetes which can lead to type 2 diabetes if left untreated. A1c higher than 6.5 is considered Type-2 diabetes. 

Includes:

• PSA: Protein produced by the prostate gland that can be measured in a blood test to screen for prostate cancer.  An elevated PSA level may indicate the presence of enlarged prostate which is normal with age or prostate cancer. Though other factors can also cause elevated levels including prostate infections. 

Additional labs can be ordered at your request with additional fees or individualized by personal health goals. You will be invoiced separately. 

A standard vitamin panel typically includes tests for the following vitamins, each measuring the levels of these vitamins in your blood to ensure you're meeting your nutritional needs. These tests help identify any deficiencies or excesses, allowing for early intervention and management. 

Here are the common tests that can be ordered:

1. Vitamin A (Retinol): Essential for vision, immune function, and skin health.
2. Vitamin B1 (Thiamine): Important for energy metabolism and nerve function.
3. Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin): Plays a role in energy production and the breakdown of fats, drugs, and steroids.
4. Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine): Involved in amino acid metabolism, red blood cell production, and the creation of neurotransmitters.
5. Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin): Crucial for nerve function, the production of DNA, and red blood cell formation.
6. Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid): Important for immune function, skin health, and the synthesis of collagen.
7. Vitamin D (Cholecalciferol or Ergocalciferol): Essential for calcium absorption, bone health, and immune function.
8. Vitamin E (Tocopherol): Acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells from damage.
9. Vitamin K: Necessary for blood clotting and bone metabolism.

An advanced thyroid panel typically includes a comprehensive set of tests to evaluate thyroid function and detect potential thyroid disorders. These tests provide a detailed view of thyroid health and can help diagnose conditions such as hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and autoimmune thyroid diseases. 

Here are the common tests that can be ordered:

1. Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH): Measures the level of TSH in the blood, which indicates how well the thyroid is functioning.
2. Free T4 (FT4): Measures the level of free thyroxine, the inactive form of thyroid hormone that is converted into T3 in the body.
3. Free T3 (FT3): Measures the level of free triiodothyronine, the active form of thyroid hormone that affects metabolism.
4. Reverse T3 (rT3): Measures the level of reverse T3, which can indicate issues with thyroid hormone conversion.
5. Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies (TPOAb): Detects antibodies against thyroid peroxidase, indicating autoimmune thyroid conditions like Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
6. Thyroglobulin Antibodies (TgAb): Detects antibodies against thyroglobulin, another indicator of autoimmune thyroid conditions.
7. Thyroid Binding Globulin (TBG): Measures the level of TBG, a protein that transports thyroid hormones in the blood.
8. Thyroid Uptake (RAIU): Measures the uptake of iodine by the thyroid gland, which is important for thyroid hormone production.
9. Anti-TSH Receptor Antibodies (TRAb): Detects antibodies that can affect thyroid function, often associated with Graves' disease.

These tests are designed to detect antibodies, which can take several weeks to develop after infection. A standard Lyme disease test panel typically includes the following tests, which are used to detect antibodies to the bacteria that cause Lyme disease (Borrelia burgdorferi):

1. Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA): This is the first step in the two-tiered testing process. It detects antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi. If this test is positive or equivocal, the second step is performed.
2. Western Blot (Immunoblot): This is the second step in the two-tiered testing process. It confirms the presence of antibodies to specific Borrelia burgdorferi proteins. A positive result on both the ELISA and Western Blot confirms Lyme disease.

Autoimmune testing panels are designed to detect the presence of autoantibodies and other markers that indicate autoimmune diseases. 

Here are some common tests included in these panels that can be ordered:

1. Antinuclear Antibodies (ANA) Test: Detects antibodies that target the nucleus of cells, often used as an initial screening for autoimmune diseases like lupus.
2. Rheumatoid Factor (RF) Test: Measures the level of RF, an antibody found in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases.
3. Anti-Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide (Anti-CCP) Test: Detects antibodies associated with rheumatoid arthritis, often used alongside the RF test.
4. C-Reactive Protein (CRP) Test: Measures the level of CRP, a protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation.
5. Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) Test: Measures the rate at which red blood cells settle at the bottom of a test tube, indicating inflammation.
6. Ferritin Test: Measures the level of ferritin, a protein that stores iron, which can be elevated in autoimmune conditions.

A standard female hormone panel typically includes tests for several key hormones that play crucial roles in reproductive health and overall well-being. These tests can help diagnose hormonal imbalances, fertility issues, menstrual disorders, and other health conditions.

Here are the common tests that can be ordered:

1. Estrogen (Estradiol): Measures the level of estradiol, the primary form of estrogen in women, which is important for reproductive and overall health.
2. Progesterone: Measures the level of progesterone, a hormone that plays a key role in the menstrual cycle and pregnancy.
3. Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH): Measures the level of FSH, which is involved in regulating the menstrual cycle and egg production in ovaries.
4. Luteinizing Hormone (LH): Measures the level of LH, which triggers ovulation and the production of progesterone.
5. Testosterone: Measures the level of testosterone, which, although typically considered a male hormone, is also present in women and plays a role in muscle strength, bone density, and libido.
6. DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone): Measures the level of DHEA, a hormone that serves as a precursor to sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone.
7. Prolactin: Measures the level of prolactin, a hormone that stimulates milk production in breastfeeding women and can affect menstrual function.
8. Thyroid Hormones (TSH, Free T4, Free T3): Measures thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and the levels of free thyroxine (T4) and free triiodothyronine (T3), which are important for metabolism and overall health.

A standard male hormone panel typically includes tests for several key hormones that play crucial roles in reproductive health, metabolism, and overall well-being. These tests help diagnose hormonal imbalances, assess fertility, monitor metabolic health, and detect potential health issues.

Here are the common tests that can be ordered:
