What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing fatigue, unexplained swelling, digestive issues, or just want a general checkup on how your body is functioning. It's also useful if you have risk factors for diabetes, liver problems, or kidney issues, or if you're monitoring a chronic condition. Many people order it simply as part of a routine wellness check to catch problems early, before symptoms even show up.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account with each value's normal range clearly explained, so you can see exactly where you stand. If something is out of range, the report will point you toward simple next steps, like adjusting your diet, cutting back on salt or sugar, or retesting in a few months to track changes. If any value is dangerously abnormal, the report will flag that you should seek medical care right away. You can also download a standard lab report anytime and use the trends feature to watch your levels change over time.

What's included in this test?

This panel includes sodium, potassium, chloride, carbon dioxide (bicarbonate), glucose, calcium, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, albumin, total protein, total bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, AST, and ALT. Electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and chloride keep your fluid balance and muscles functioning properly, while kidney markers like BUN and creatinine show how well your body is filtering waste. Liver markers (albumin, bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, AST, ALT) and glucose round out the picture, giving you a broad snapshot of your metabolic health in one test.

How can I naturally support healthy kidney and liver function?

Staying well hydrated helps your kidneys flush out waste more efficiently, and cutting back on processed foods and excess salt can ease the workload on both your kidneys and liver. Limiting alcohol and added sugars supports healthier liver enzyme levels and steadier blood sugar. Regular movement and a diet rich in vegetables, fiber, and lean protein also go a long way in keeping these organs functioning well.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your sample being processed at the lab. Once ready, they'll be posted directly to your online account, so there's no need to wait for a phone call or mailed letter. You can log in anytime after that window to view and download your report.

Who should consider this test?

Anyone wanting a general health checkup, especially those over 30 or with a family history of diabetes, kidney disease, or liver problems, should consider this test. It's also a smart choice if you're on medications that can affect your liver or kidneys, or if you've noticed symptoms like fatigue, swelling, or changes in appetite. People tracking their overall wellness as part of an annual routine also benefit from this panel.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Symptoms like persistent fatigue, unexplained swelling in your legs or ankles, frequent urination, nausea, or a loss of appetite can all point to issues this panel helps screen for. Yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, or abdominal discomfort may suggest liver-related concerns worth checking. If you've been feeling unusually thirsty or notice sudden weight changes, this test can help identify what's going on.

What does high 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, increasing physical activity, and managing stress can help bring levels down. If your glucose is very high, it's worth seeking medical care soon to get a fuller picture of your metabolic health.

What does low potassium mean?

Low potassium can make you feel weak, crampy, or fatigued because this mineral is essential for normal muscle and nerve function. It can happen from not getting enough potassium-rich foods like bananas, leafy greens, or beans, or from fluid loss through sweating, vomiting, or certain medications. Adjusting your diet and staying hydrated often helps, but very low levels should prompt you to seek medical care right away.

How often should I retest?

If your results come back normal, retesting once a year as part of a routine wellness check is generally a good idea. If any values were borderline or you're actively making lifestyle changes to improve them, retesting every 3 to 6 months lets you track your progress. Use the trends feature in your account to see how your numbers shift over time and adjust your habits accordingly.
