What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing fatigue, unexplained swelling, changes in urination, digestive issues, or you simply want a routine check on your overall health. It's also a good fit if you have risk factors for diabetes, kidney disease, or liver problems and want a broad snapshot of how your body's key systems are functioning. Many people use this panel as part of a yearly wellness check even without symptoms.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account with each value explained alongside its normal range so you know exactly where you stand. If something is outside the expected range, the report offers simple next steps, such as adjusting your diet, hydration, or medication timing, and notes when a value is significant enough that you should seek medical care right away. You can download a standard lab report from your account at any time, and the trends feature lets you track how your levels change if you retest in the future.

What's included in this test?

This panel includes sodium, potassium, chloride, carbon dioxide (bicarbonate), glucose, calcium, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), albumin, total bilirubin, total protein, alkaline phosphatase, and aspartate aminotransferase (AST). These markers are grouped together because looking at them as a set helps reveal patterns rather than isolated numbers. The electrolyte and acid-base measures show how well your body balances fluids and minerals, the kidney and liver markers reflect how well those organs are filtering and processing waste, and glucose reflects how your body is managing energy.

How can I naturally support healthy kidney and liver function?

Staying well hydrated, limiting excess salt and processed foods, and moderating alcohol intake all help take some of the workload off your kidneys and liver. Eating more fiber-rich vegetables and lean protein supports steady blood sugar and healthy digestion, which also benefits these organs. Regular physical activity and maintaining a healthy weight are two of the most effective everyday habits for supporting long-term organ health.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days after your blood draw. You'll receive a notification once your results are posted to your account, where you can view each marker along with its reference range. This turnaround allows time for careful lab processing so you get accurate, reliable numbers.

Who should consider this test?

Anyone wanting a general checkup on their kidney, liver, and metabolic health should consider this test, especially if you have risk factors like high blood pressure, a family history of diabetes, or you take medications that affect the liver or kidneys. It's also useful if you've had abnormal results before and want to monitor changes over time. People who feel fine but want a baseline for future comparison often choose this panel too.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Symptoms like persistent fatigue, swelling in the legs or feet, changes in urination frequency or color, nausea, loss of appetite, or unexplained weight changes can all point to issues this panel helps evaluate. Yellowing of the skin or eyes, excessive thirst, or unusual bruising are also signals worth checking. If you notice any of these along with feeling generally unwell, this test can help clarify what's going on.

What does high glucose mean?

A high glucose result can mean your body isn't managing blood sugar well, which over time raises your risk for diabetes and related complications. Simple steps like cutting back on sugary drinks and refined carbs, increasing physical activity, and eating more fiber can help bring levels down. If your glucose is very high, it's important to seek medical care promptly, since this can sometimes indicate a more urgent issue.

What does low creatinine or abnormal kidney markers mean?

Low creatinine isn't usually concerning on its own and can simply reflect lower muscle mass, but abnormal patterns across the kidney markers (like elevated BUN or reduced eGFR) can suggest your kidneys aren't filtering waste as efficiently as they should. Staying hydrated, reducing salt intake, and avoiding overuse of certain pain medications can support kidney function. Retesting after making these changes helps you see if your numbers are trending in a better direction.

How often should I retest?

If your results are all within normal range and you have no symptoms, retesting once a year as part of a routine wellness check is usually sufficient. If any values were borderline or abnormal, retesting every 3 to 6 months can help you track whether lifestyle changes are making a difference. Use the trends feature in your account to easily compare results side by side over time.
