Comprehensive Metabolic Panel

Insights Insights

Most of your values are within the normal range. This is a positive outcome, indicating that your overall metabolism and organ function are functioning well. However, there are a couple of findings that are worth discussing. Your Urea Nitrogen (BUN) and Creatinine levels are high. Although they are only slightly elevated, it's important to monitor them closely. High BUN and Creatinine levels may suggest reduced kidney function or dehydration. I recommend discussing these results with your healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause and develop an appropriate management plan. It's worth noting that your EGFR, which is a measure of kidney function, is within the normal range. This is reassuring and suggests that your kidneys are still able to filter waste products effectively. Overall, it's important to remember that blood test results need to be interpreted in the context of your overall health and medical history. Your healthcare provider will be able to provide a more comprehensive analysis and guide you further based on these results.

Ferritin

Insights Insights

Your ferritin levels are within the normal range, which is a positive result. Ferritin is a protein that stores iron in your body, and it is used as an indicator of your body's iron stores. Normal ferritin levels are important for healthy bodily functions, including the production of red blood cells. Maintaining normal ferritin levels is crucial to prevent iron deficiency or iron overload. Iron deficiency can lead to anemia, causing symptoms like fatigue, weakness, and difficulty concentrating. On the other hand, iron overload can lead to organ damage and other health problems. Since your ferritin levels are normal, it suggests that your body has an appropriate amount of iron stores. However, it's important to note that a blood test only provides a snapshot of your iron status at a specific point in time. Regular monitoring of your ferritin levels is recommended to ensure they remain within the normal range. If you have any concerns about your iron levels or overall health, it's always best to consult with your healthcare provider. They can evaluate your complete medical history and provide personalized advice based on your specific circumstances.

Folate

Insights Insights

Your blood test results for Folate, Serum are normal. Folate is an important B-vitamin that plays a key role in various bodily functions, including the production of red blood cells and DNA synthesis. Normal levels of folate indicate that your body has an adequate amount of this essential nutrient. Maintaining normal folate levels is important for overall health and wellbeing. Research shows that adequate folate intake is particularly crucial during pregnancy, as it helps prevent certain birth defects. It is recommended that pregnant individuals take additional folate supplements to ensure they meet their daily requirements. If you have any concerns about your folate levels or have questions about maintaining a healthy diet that includes folate-rich foods, I would be happy to discuss them with you.

What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing constant fatigue, weakness, pale skin, dizziness, or shortness of breath that might be caused by anemia. It helps identify whether your tiredness is due to iron deficiency, low vitamin B12, inadequate folate, or other blood-related issues affecting your energy levels. Many people use this test when they suspect nutritional deficiencies are impacting their daily energy and overall health.

How should I prepare for this test?

Fasting: 12 hours
No biotin: 72 hours

You should fast for 12 hours before your blood draw and schedule your appointment in the morning, since iron levels can drop by 30% throughout the day. If you're taking biotin supplements (vitamin B7 or B8), stop taking them at least 72 hours before your test as they can interfere with some results. If you're on methotrexate or leucovorin medications, let the lab know as these can affect folate test accuracy.

What's included in this test?

Ferritin Folate, Serum Vitamin B12

This comprehensive panel checks your iron status including total iron, iron binding capacity, and ferritin to assess iron stores. It measures vitamin B12 and folate levels that are essential for red blood cell production, evaluates your complete blood count to identify anemia types, checks reticulocyte count to see how well your body is making new red blood cells, and includes a comprehensive metabolic panel to assess overall health factors that may contribute to fatigue and weakness.

What happens after I get my results?
You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your iron levels, vitamin B12, folate, and blood counts mean for your energy and overall health. These notes include personalized recommendations like dietary changes, iron or vitamin supplements, and lifestyle adjustments to address any deficiencies. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your levels over time using our trends feature to see how your nutrition interventions are improving your anemia markers.
Who should consider getting this test?
This test is ideal for people experiencing unexplained fatigue, weakness, pale skin, cold hands and feet, brittle nails, or frequent dizziness. It's especially important for women with heavy menstrual periods, pregnant women, vegetarians or vegans at risk for B12 deficiency, people with digestive disorders affecting nutrient absorption, and anyone previously diagnosed with anemia who needs comprehensive monitoring.
What symptoms indicate I may need this test?
Common symptoms include persistent tiredness that doesn't improve with rest, weakness or lack of stamina during normal activities, pale or yellowish skin, shortness of breath with mild exertion, dizziness or lightheadedness, cold hands and feet, brittle nails, frequent headaches, or an unusually fast or irregular heartbeat. You may also experience unusual cravings for ice or non-food items, which can signal iron deficiency.
How can I naturally support healthy iron and blood levels?
Eat iron-rich foods like lean red meat, poultry, fish, beans, lentils, spinach, and fortified cereals, and pair them with vitamin C sources like citrus fruits or bell peppers to enhance absorption. Include vitamin B12 from animal products or fortified foods, and folate from leafy greens, citrus fruits, and whole grains. Avoid drinking tea or coffee with meals as they can inhibit iron absorption, and cook in cast iron cookware to increase dietary iron intake.
What is anemia and why does it matter?
Anemia is a condition where you don't have enough healthy red blood cells or hemoglobin to carry adequate oxygen throughout your body. This oxygen shortage causes fatigue, weakness, and can affect every organ system if left untreated. The most common type is iron deficiency anemia, but it can also result from vitamin B12 or folate deficiency, chronic diseases, or blood loss, which is why comprehensive testing is important.
What does low ferritin mean?
Low ferritin indicates that your body's iron stores are depleted, even if your current iron levels appear normal. This is often the earliest sign of iron deficiency and means your body is struggling to maintain adequate iron for red blood cell production. Low ferritin can cause fatigue, hair loss, weakened immune function, and difficulty concentrating, and typically requires iron supplementation and dietary changes to restore healthy levels.
How often should I retest for anemia?
If you're being treated for anemia with supplements or dietary changes, retest every 8-12 weeks to monitor improvement and ensure your iron stores and vitamin levels are replenishing. Once your levels are stable and symptoms have resolved, annual testing is recommended to prevent recurrence, especially if you have risk factors like heavy periods or dietary restrictions. If you have chronic anemia or underlying conditions, your doctor may recommend more frequent monitoring every 3-6 months.

What this means

Your ferritin level is below the optimal range, indicating your body's iron stores are depleted. Low ferritin is often the earliest sign of iron deficiency and can cause fatigue, weakness, difficulty concentrating, and hair thinning even before anemia develops.

Recommended actions

Increase iron-rich foods like lean red meat, chicken, fish, beans, lentils, and fortified cereals

Pair iron sources with vitamin C foods like oranges, strawberries, or bell peppers to boost absorption

Consider an iron supplement as recommended by your healthcare provider

Avoid tea and coffee with meals as they reduce iron absorption

Retest ferritin in 8-12 weeks after starting supplementation to monitor improvement

* Regular blood test results (e.g., CBC) typically start arriving the next business day after sample collection. More complex tests, such as hormone panels, may take up to 10–15 business days due to their complexity.
