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.

Insights Insights

Your blood test shows a high level of Creatine Kinase, Total. It's important to note that this result is outside of the normal range and may indicate muscle damage or injury. Research shows that further testing may be necessary to determine the underlying cause. It's recommended that you discuss these results with your healthcare provider to develop an appropriate plan of action.

What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing unexplained fatigue, muscle pain or weakness, or want to monitor your overall metabolic health. It helps identify issues with your kidney function, liver health, blood sugar regulation, electrolyte balance, and muscle damage that may be causing your symptoms. Many people use this test when they want a comprehensive snapshot of their body's vital functions or need to monitor existing health conditions.

How should I prepare for this test?

Fasting: 12 hours

You should fast for 12 hours before your blood draw, which means no food or beverages except water during this time. This fasting period is important because eating can affect your glucose and other metabolic markers, leading to inaccurate results. Make sure to stay well-hydrated with water, and schedule your appointment for the morning if possible to make fasting easier.

What's included in this test?

Creatine Kinase, Total

This comprehensive panel evaluates your metabolic health by measuring blood sugar levels, electrolyte balance (sodium, potassium, chloride), and kidney function through creatinine and eGFR. It checks liver health with enzymes like ALT, AST, and alkaline phosphatase, assesses protein levels and calcium metabolism, and includes creatine kinase to detect muscle damage or heart-related issues. Together, these measurements provide a complete picture of how well your body is managing energy, filtering waste, and maintaining critical balance for optimal health.

What happens after I get my results?
You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your metabolic markers, kidney function, liver enzymes, and creatine kinase levels mean for your overall health and energy. These notes include personalized recommendations like dietary adjustments, hydration strategies, exercise modifications, or whether you should follow up with your doctor about specific findings. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your metabolic health over time using our trends feature to see how lifestyle changes impact your numbers.
Who should consider getting this test?
This test is valuable for anyone experiencing unexplained fatigue, muscle pain, or weakness, as well as those monitoring chronic conditions like diabetes or kidney disease. It's ideal for people concerned about their liver health, those taking medications that affect metabolism, athletes experiencing unusual muscle soreness, or anyone wanting a comprehensive baseline of their metabolic function. It's also useful for routine wellness monitoring as part of preventive health care.
What symptoms indicate I may need this test?
Common symptoms include persistent fatigue or low energy, unexplained muscle pain or cramping, changes in urination patterns or urine color, and unexplained weight changes. You may also need this test if you're experiencing excessive thirst, confusion or difficulty concentrating, swelling in your legs or feet, or yellowing of skin or eyes. Muscle weakness, irregular heartbeat, or digestive issues like nausea may also indicate metabolic imbalances worth investigating.
What does high creatine kinase mean?
High creatine kinase levels indicate muscle damage somewhere in your body, which can come from intense exercise, muscle injury, or medical conditions affecting the heart or skeletal muscles. It may also be elevated after a heart attack, with certain muscle diseases, or from medications like statins. If your CK is significantly elevated, your doctor will want to identify the source of muscle damage and may recommend additional testing.
How can I naturally support my kidney function?
Supporting kidney health starts with staying well-hydrated by drinking adequate water throughout the day and limiting excessive salt intake. Maintain healthy blood pressure and blood sugar levels through a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains while limiting processed foods. Regular moderate exercise, avoiding excessive use of over-the-counter pain medications like ibuprofen, and limiting alcohol consumption can also help protect kidney function over time.
What does high glucose mean?
High fasting glucose levels may indicate prediabetes or diabetes, meaning your body isn't processing blood sugar effectively. Consistently elevated glucose can result from insulin resistance, poor diet, lack of physical activity, stress, or certain medications. If your glucose is high, lifestyle changes like improving your diet, increasing exercise, losing weight if needed, and managing stress can help bring levels back to normal.
How often should I retest my metabolic panel?
If your results are normal and you're healthy, retesting annually as part of routine wellness screening is typically sufficient. If you have diabetes, kidney disease, or liver conditions, your doctor may recommend testing every 3-6 months to monitor your condition and treatment effectiveness. After making significant lifestyle changes or starting new medications that affect metabolism, retesting in 3 months can help track improvements and guide adjustments.

What this means

Your creatine kinase level is slightly elevated above the optimal range. This may indicate recent intense exercise, muscle strain, or minor muscle damage. While mild elevations are often normal after physical activity, persistent elevation may warrant closer monitoring.

Recommended actions

Allow adequate rest and recovery between intense workouts

Stay well-hydrated before, during, and after exercise

Consider reducing exercise intensity temporarily if experiencing muscle pain

Retest in 2-4 weeks to monitor trends, especially if symptoms persist

* 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.
