Comprehensive Wellness Panel

FAQ

1. What is a comprehensive wellness panel?

   A comprehensive wellness test comprises a series of blood, urine, and saliva tests performed to evaluate your risk for developing medical conditions or if you need treatment for any preexisting condition. Labs that are normally included in a wellness panel are:

   • Complete Blood Count (CBC)
   • Comprehensive Metabolic Profile (CMP)
   • Kidney and liver function profiles
   • Serum iron levels
   • Lipid and thyroid profiles
   • Serum phosphorus and magnesium
   • Urinalysis

   You may order the tests or complete them as part of an annual physical exam.

2. How long do you need to fast for a wellness panel?

   When preparing for a wellness panel, it’s best to fast for 8-12 hours before getting your sample collected.

3. Why should I get a wellness panel done?

   Getting a wellness panel test can help you be in charge of your well-being and recognize conditions that may affect you currently or in the future.

   Also, people with preexisting health issues may need a comprehensive wellness test to determine what systems of the body are not functioning properly, which can then be addressed by a doctor. For example, lipid abnormalities such as dyslipidemia are often found in people with chronic illnesses like diabetes and high blood pressure.

   A comprehensive wellness test can help assess the extent of these problems and offer ideas on how these can be resolved through diet and lifestyle changes.
