Top of Page

  • Glucose, fasting: This test directly measures glucose levels and is commonly used in the evaluation of diabetes.

  • Uric acid: This test is used in the evaluation of gout or recurrent urinary calculi.

  • BUN (blood urea nitrogen): This test is used to measure liver function and indirectly to assess renal function and glomerular filtration rate.

  • Creatinine: This is a renal function test used to estimate glomerular filtration rate, and follow progression of renal disease.

  • BUN/Creatinine ratio: This test is used to diagnose impaired renal function. With creatinine, BUN is used to monitor individuals on dialysis.

  • Sodium: This routine test is used to evaluate and monitor fluid and electrolyte balance and therapy.

  • Potassium: This routine test is used to evaluate and monitor electrolyte balance and is especially important for cardiac individuals.

  • Chloride: This test by itself does not provide adequate information. However, as part of a multiphasic testing for electrolytes it can give an indication of acid-base balance and hydrational status.

  • Calcium: This test is used to evaluate parathyroid function and calcium metabolism.

  • Phosphorus: This test is used to measure serum phosphorus. An imbalance could indicate the possibility of any number of conditions.

  • Protein/Albumin/Globulin: This test is used to assist in the detection of many diseases that affect blood proteins as a whole or one single fraction of protein.

  • Albumin/Globulin Ratio: This test is used to evaluate renal disease and other chronic disease.

  • Bilirubin: This test is used to evaluate liver function

  • Alkaline Phosphatase: This test is used to detect and monitor liver and/or bone disease.

  • LDH (Lactic dehydrogenase): This test measures the intracellular enzyme LDH which, when present in the blood, can support the detection of injury or disease.

  • AST (SGOT): This test is used to evaluate the possibility of coronary occlusive heart disease or liver disease.

  • ALT (SGPT): This test is used to identify liver disease and to distinguish between the liver and red blood cell hemolysis as the source of jaundice.

  • Iron: This test is used to evaluate many disease including iron deficiency anemia and hemochromatosis.

  • Cholesterol: This test is used to determine the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) and hyperlipidemias.

  • Triglycerides: This test is used to identify the risk of developing coronary heart disease or if fat metabolism disorders are suspected.

  • HDL Cholesterol: This test measures alpha lipoprotein and is used to predict heart disease.

  • LDL Cholesterol: This test measures beta lipoproteins and is used to predict heart disease.

  • Total Cholesterol/HDL Ratio: This test is used to determine the risk for coronary heart disease.

  • CBC (complete blood count) with platelets and differential: This is a series of tests of the peripheral blood which provides a variety of information about the blood components. This series includes the following tests:

    • Red blood cell count

    • Hemoglobin

    • Hematocrit

    • Red blood cell indices

    • Mean corpuscular hemoglobin

    • Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration

    • Red blood cell distribution

    • White blood cell count

    • Differential count

    • Platelet count

Please Note: This panel requires a fasting blood level; therefore, a 12-hour fast is required before the collection of a blood sample.


CRP C-Reactive Protein

(Cardiac) (High Sensitivity)

(Code LC120766)

(Included in Male & Female Panels)

 

Top of Page

 

   

This test is used to assess risk of cardiovascular and peripheral vascular disease.


Female Life Extension Panel

(Code LC322535)

 

Top of Page

 

   

 

Includes the following tests:

CBC/Chemistry Profile (See above)

DHEA-S
Estradiol
(an estrogen)

Homocysteine

C-Reactive Protein (high-sensitivity)

Progesterone

Free Testosterone

Total Testosterone

 

Top of Page

 

   

This comprehensive panel is used to evaluate female health status. The following tests are included in this panel: Chemistry panel, CBC, Free testosterone, Total testosterone DHEA-s, Estradiol, Progesterone, Homocysteine, and Cardiac CRP.

Please Note: This panel requires a fasting blood level; therefore, a 12-hour fast is required before the collection of a blood sample.


Ferritin, Serum

(Code LC004598)

 

Top of Page

 

   

This test is used to evaluate iron stores in the body and to determine iron deficiency anemia (hypochromic and microcytic anemias). This test can detect decreased levels found in iron deficiency anemia and increased levels found in iron overload. In hemochromatosis, both ferritin and iron saturation are increased.


Fibrinogen, Quantitative

(Code LC001610)

 

Top of Page

 

   

This test is used primarily for detecting suspected bleeding disorders or excessive levels which could contribute to abnormal clotting. This test is also used to identify congenital afibrinogenemia, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and fibrinolytic activity.

Please Note: Individuals using oral contraceptives are found to have increased Levels.


Homocysteine

(Code LC706994)

(Included in Male & Female Panels)

 

Top of Page

 

   

Homocysteine has been shown to be an independent risk factor for the premature development of coronary artery disease and thrombosis. This test is intended for use in screening individuals who may be at risk for heart disease and stroke. Studies have shown that even moderate levels of homocysteine pose an increased risk for arteriosclerosis compared with the lowest 20th percentile (<7.2 mcmol/L) of population controls.


Male Life Extension Panel

(Code LC322582)

 

Top of Page

 

   

 

Includes the following tests:

CBC/Chemistry Profile (see above)

DHEA-S

PSA (prostate-specific antigen)

Homocysteine

C-Reactive Protein (high-sensitivity)

Free Testosterone

Total Testosterone
Estradiol

 

Top of Page

 

   

This comprehensive panel is used to evaluate male health status. The following tests are included in this panel: Chemistry Panel, CBC, Free Testosterone, Total Testosterone, DHEA-s, PSA, Estradiol, Homocysteine, and Cardiac CRP.

Please Note: This panel requires a fasting blood level; therefore, a 12-hour fast is required before the collection of a blood sample.


PLACŪ Test (Lp-PLA2)

(Code LC141275)

 

Top of Page

 

   

The PLACŪ test aids in predicting risk for coronary heart disease, and ischemic stroke associated with atherosclerosis. The PLACŪ test measures Lp-PLA2, an enzyme that promotes inflammation inside the arteries, leading to the formation of unstable, rupture-prone plaque. The PLACŪ test for Lp-PLA2 is different from both cholesterol tests and other tests for inflammation because Lp-PLA2 is a specific cardiovascular risk factor that provides unique information about the stability of the plaque inside your arteries. Elevated levels of Lp-PLA2 increase your risk for heart disease and stroke since plaque rupture is the major cause of both events.
