Performance Panel

Glucose

Measures blood sugar levels to screen for diabetes, monitor diabetes management, and evaluate hypoglycemia.

Albumin

Measures the main protein made by the liver. Used to assess liver and kidney function and nutritional status.

Total Protein (Serum)

Measures albumin and globulin proteins in blood. Helps evaluate liver, kidney function and nutritional health.

BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen)

Measures waste product from protein metabolism. Used to evaluate kidney function and hydration status.

Creatinine

A waste product from muscle metabolism. Primary marker for assessing kidney function.

Sodium

Essential electrolyte that regulates fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle contractions.

Potassium

Critical electrolyte for heart function, muscle contractions, and nerve signals. Important for patients on certain medications.

Chloride

Electrolyte that helps maintain fluid balance and acid-base balance in the body.

Bicarbonate (CO2)

Measures carbon dioxide in blood to assess acid-base balance and respiratory function.

Calcium

Essential mineral for bone health, muscle function, nerve transmission, and blood clotting.

ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase)

Liver enzyme that is elevated when liver cells are damaged. Primary marker for liver disease.

AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase)

Enzyme found in liver, heart, and muscles. Elevated levels may indicate liver or heart damage.

Alkaline Phosphatase

Enzyme found in liver, bone, and other tissues. Used to detect liver disease and bone disorders.

Total Bilirubin

Measures bile pigment to assess liver function and diagnose jaundice or bile duct problems.

Total Cholesterol

Measures all cholesterol in blood. Used to assess cardiovascular disease risk.

HDL Cholesterol

High-density lipoprotein or "good" cholesterol that helps remove other forms of cholesterol from the bloodstream.

Triglycerides

Type of fat in blood. Elevated levels increase risk of heart disease and pancreatitis.

Testosterone Total

Measures all testosterone in blood. Used to evaluate male hypogonadism, female hormone imbalances, and fertility issues.

TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)

Primary screening test for thyroid function. Detects hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.

Free T3

Measures active thyroid hormone. Helps diagnose hyperthyroidism and monitor thyroid treatment.

Free T4

Measures unbound, active thyroxine hormone. Used with TSH to evaluate thyroid function.

Vitamin D 25-Hydroxy

Measures vitamin D status. Important for bone health, immune function, and linked to many health conditions when deficient.

Free Testosterone

Measures biologically active testosterone. More accurate for assessing testosterone availability and function.

SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin)

Protein that binds sex hormones. Helps interpret testosterone and estrogen levels and assess hormone availability.

Cortisol

Stress hormone produced by adrenal glands. Used to diagnose Cushing's syndrome, Addison's disease, and adrenal problems.

DHEA-S (Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate)

Adrenal hormone precursor to sex hormones. Used to evaluate adrenal function and androgen excess conditions.

hs-CRP (High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein)

Inflammation marker used to assess cardiovascular disease risk and monitor inflammatory conditions.

ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate)

Measures how quickly red blood cells settle. Non-specific marker of inflammation in the body.

Iron

Measures iron in blood. Used to diagnose iron deficiency anemia or iron overload conditions.

Ferritin

Protein that stores iron. Best indicator of total body iron stores and iron deficiency.

TIBC (Total Iron Binding Capacity)

Measures blood's capacity to bind iron. Used with other tests to evaluate iron deficiency or overload.
