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.

Lipid Panel

Insights Insights

I am pleased to inform you that your lipid panel is within the normal range. Your HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL-cholesterol, CHOL/HDLC ratio, non HDL cholesterol, and total cholesterol are all normal. This is great news as it indicates that your cholesterol levels are within a healthy range for your age and sex group. Research shows that maintaining healthy cholesterol levels is important for overall cardiovascular health. High levels of cholesterol, especially LDL-cholesterol, can increase your risk of heart disease. On the other hand, low levels of HDL cholesterol, often referred to as "good" cholesterol, can also be a risk factor for heart disease. Therefore, it's recommended that you continue to focus on lifestyle factors that support healthy cholesterol levels, such as following a balanced diet, engaging in regular physical activity, and avoiding smoking. Keep in mind that while your lipid panel results are normal, it's important to consider other factors that may contribute to your overall health. If you have any concerns or questions, I encourage you to discuss them with your healthcare provider. They will be able to provide you with personalized guidance and address any specific concerns you may have. Overall, congratulations on your healthy lipid panel results! By maintaining a healthy lifestyle, you are taking important steps towards promoting your cardiovascular well-being.

What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing digestive problems like bloating, abdominal pain, or unexplained weight loss, or if you're concerned about blood sugar issues and diabetes risk. It provides a comprehensive assessment of your pancreatic function, which is crucial for both digestion and blood sugar regulation. Many people use this test when they have symptoms that suggest pancreatic or metabolic issues but want concrete answers about what's happening in their body.

How should I prepare for this test?

Fasting: 12-14 hours

You should fast for 12-14 hours before your blood draw, which means no food or beverages except water during that time. This fasting period is essential for accurate measurement of insulin, glucose, and lipid markers. Plan to schedule your appointment in the morning so you can fast overnight, and results typically take about 3 business days, though some tests may take longer if confirmation is needed.

What's included in this test?

Amylase C-Peptide Hemoglobin A1C Insulin Lipase

This comprehensive panel measures C-Peptide and Insulin to assess how well your pancreas produces insulin for blood sugar control, plus Lipase and Amylase to evaluate digestive enzyme function. It includes Hemoglobin A1c for long-term blood sugar tracking, a Complete Blood Count to check overall health, a Comprehensive Metabolic Panel to monitor kidney and liver function, and a Lipid Panel to assess cardiovascular risk. Together, these measurements provide a complete picture of your pancreatic function, metabolic health, and diabetes risk.

What happens after I get my results?
You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your pancreas function markers mean for your digestive health and blood sugar control. These notes include personalized recommendations like dietary adjustments, lifestyle changes to support pancreatic health, or whether you should follow up with a gastroenterologist or endocrinologist. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your pancreatic and metabolic markers over time using our trends feature, which is especially helpful if you're managing blood sugar or making dietary changes.
When will I get my results?
Your results are typically available within 3 business days after your blood sample is collected. If any tests require confirmation or additional analysis, the turnaround time may be extended slightly. You'll be notified as soon as your complete results are ready, and you can access them through your secure online account along with your personalized doctor notes.
Who should consider getting this test?
This test is valuable for anyone experiencing persistent digestive issues like abdominal pain, bloating, or fatty stools that could indicate pancreatic problems. It's also important for people with diabetes risk factors like obesity, family history, or prediabetes symptoms, as well as those monitoring existing blood sugar issues. Anyone with unexplained weight changes, frequent thirst or urination, or a history of pancreatitis should consider this comprehensive evaluation.
What symptoms indicate I may need this test?
Common symptoms include persistent upper abdominal pain that may radiate to your back, unexplained weight loss despite normal eating, or greasy, foul-smelling stools. Blood sugar-related symptoms like excessive thirst, frequent urination, constant hunger, fatigue, or blurred vision may also indicate pancreatic dysfunction. Digestive issues like chronic bloating, nausea after meals, or difficulty digesting fatty foods are additional warning signs.
How can I naturally support my pancreas health?
Supporting pancreatic health starts with eating smaller, more frequent meals that are lower in fat and processed sugars to reduce strain on the organ. Include plenty of antioxidant-rich foods like berries, leafy greens, and colorful vegetables, and consider anti-inflammatory foods like turmeric and ginger. Avoid excessive alcohol consumption, maintain a healthy weight through regular exercise, and stay well-hydrated throughout the day.
What is C-Peptide and why does it matter?
C-Peptide is a substance your pancreas releases along with insulin, making it an excellent marker of how much insulin your body actually produces. Unlike insulin levels which can be affected by injected insulin, C-Peptide provides an accurate picture of your pancreas's natural insulin production. This is especially important for distinguishing between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes and assessing how well your pancreas is functioning.
What does high Lipase mean?
Elevated lipase typically indicates inflammation or damage to your pancreas, a condition called pancreatitis. High levels can result from gallstones, excessive alcohol use, certain medications, or abdominal injuries that affect the pancreas. Even moderately elevated lipase warrants attention, as it signals your pancreas is under stress and may need medical evaluation and dietary modifications.
How often should I retest my pancreas function?
If you have diabetes or prediabetes, retesting every 3-6 months helps monitor blood sugar control and insulin production over time. For those with a history of pancreatitis or pancreatic issues, your doctor may recommend testing every 6-12 months or whenever symptoms recur. If your initial results are normal but you have ongoing symptoms, consider retesting in 3-6 months, especially after making dietary or lifestyle changes.
