What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing fatigue, unexplained swelling, changes in appetite, or you just want a general checkup on how your organs are functioning. It helps spot early signs of problems with your kidneys, liver, blood sugar, and electrolyte balance before they become serious. Many people also use it as a routine wellness check even without symptoms.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results show up in your account with each value explained alongside its normal range, so you can see exactly where you stand. If something is outside the expected range, the report will point you toward simple next steps, like adjusting your diet, hydration, or retesting in a few weeks to confirm a trend. You can download a standard lab report anytime from your account, and the trends feature lets you track changes over time if you retest in the future. If any value comes back significantly abnormal, consider seeking medical care right away.

What's included in this test?

This panel includes sodium, potassium, chloride, glucose, calcium, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, albumin, total bilirubin, total protein, alkaline phosphatase, and aspartate aminotransferase (AST). These markers work together to show how well your kidneys and liver are functioning, whether your electrolytes and minerals are balanced, and whether your blood sugar is in a healthy range. Looking at them together helps reveal patterns that a single marker alone wouldn't show.

How often should I retest?

If your results are all normal, retesting once a year as part of a general wellness check is a reasonable habit. If any value was borderline or abnormal, retesting in 4-6 weeks after making lifestyle changes can help you see if things are moving in the right direction. People managing an ongoing condition affecting the liver, kidneys, or blood sugar may benefit from more frequent testing.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your lab visit. You'll get a notification once they're posted to your account, where you can view a full breakdown of each marker. There's no need to wait on hold or call anyone — everything is available online as soon as it's ready.

Who should consider this test?

Anyone wanting a general snapshot of their kidney, liver, and metabolic health should consider this test, including people with a family history of diabetes, kidney disease, or liver problems. It's also a good fit for those on a wellness kick who want baseline numbers, or anyone experiencing vague symptoms like tiredness or swelling that could point to an organ or metabolic issue. People starting a new diet, workout routine, or medication may also want a baseline check.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common symptoms that suggest this test could help include fatigue, swelling in the hands or feet, changes in urination, unexplained weight changes, nausea, or a yellowish tint to the skin or eyes. Muscle cramps or weakness can also point to an electrolyte imbalance worth checking. If you've been feeling generally 'off' without a clear reason, this panel can help rule out common causes.

How can I naturally support kidney and liver health?

Staying well hydrated, cutting back on excess salt and processed foods, and limiting alcohol are some of the simplest ways to support both your kidneys and liver. Eating more fruits, vegetables, and fiber-rich foods helps your liver process waste more efficiently and keeps blood sugar steadier. Regular movement and maintaining a healthy weight also reduce strain on these organs over time.

What does high blood glucose mean?

A high glucose reading means there's more sugar circulating in your blood than your body is using efficiently, which over time can be a sign of prediabetes or diabetes. Simple steps like reducing sugary drinks and refined carbs, adding more fiber, and getting regular exercise can help bring levels down. If your glucose is very high, it's worth seeking medical care to rule out an urgent issue.

What does low albumin mean?

Low albumin can mean your body isn't getting enough protein, or that your liver or kidneys aren't working as efficiently as they should. It's also sometimes seen with inflammation or poor nutrition. Adding more protein-rich foods to your diet and retesting after a few weeks can help you see if the level improves, but a very low result should be evaluated more urgently.
