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. |

Ferritin Your ferritin levels are within the normal range, which is a positive result. Ferritin is a protein that stores iron in your body, and it is used as an indicator of your body's iron stores. Normal ferritin levels are important for healthy bodily functions, including the production of red blood cells. Maintaining normal ferritin levels is crucial to prevent iron deficiency or iron overload. Iron deficiency can lead to anemia, causing symptoms like fatigue, weakness, and difficulty concentrating. On the other hand, iron overload can lead to organ damage and other health problems. Since your ferritin levels are normal, it suggests that your body has an appropriate amount of iron stores. However, it's important to note that a blood test only provides a snapshot of your iron status at a specific point in time. Regular monitoring of your ferritin levels is recommended to ensure they remain within the normal range. If you have any concerns about your iron levels or overall health, it's always best to consult with your healthcare provider.

Lipid Panel 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. |

PTH Your Parathyroid Hormone, Intact levels are high. While it's important to consider the reference range for your age and sex, the fact that your levels are elevated indicates that there may be an imbalance in your parathyroid hormone production. Research shows that high levels of Parathyroid Hormone, Intact can be associated with various conditions, such as primary hyperparathyroidism or kidney disease. It's recommended that you consult with a healthcare professional to further evaluate these results and determine the underlying cause. Keep in mind that the severity of the deviation from the reference range plays a role in the significance of the results. While your levels are high, the degree to which they deviate from the normal range is also important. Further testing and evaluation will help provide a clearer understanding of the situation. Remember, this comment is not a diagnosis, but rather a recommendation to seek further medical advice.

This test is ideal if you want a complete picture of your overall health or haven't had a comprehensive checkup in a while. It helps detect early signs of common health issues like diabetes, thyroid problems, heart disease, liver or kidney dysfunction, anemia, and hormonal imbalances before they cause serious symptoms. Many people use this test for annual wellness screening, to investigate multiple unexplained symptoms, or to establish baseline health markers.
You should fast for 12-14 hours before your blood draw, meaning no food or drinks except water during this time. Stop taking biotin supplements at least 72 hours before testing, as they can interfere with results. Avoid ejaculation for 24 hours before the test for accurate PSA results. If you use testosterone cream, don't apply it to your arm for 24 hours before the draw. Discuss any medications with your doctor, particularly those affecting uric acid levels like diuretics. The sample collection takes about 15-20 minutes.
This comprehensive panel evaluates metabolic health through glucose, insulin, and hemoglobin A1c to detect diabetes risk, along with a complete lipid panel for cardiovascular assessment. It checks thyroid function (TSH, Free T3, Free T4, thyroid antibodies) to identify causes of weight changes and fatigue, measures sex hormones (testosterone, estradiol, FSH, LH, prolactin, SHBG) affecting energy and mood, and includes growth hormone markers (IGF-1). The test also assesses liver and kidney function, complete blood count for anemia or infection, vitamin levels (B12, folate, D), iron status, inflammation markers (CRP, sed rate), clotting function, and cancer screening markers (PSA for men, CA-125 for women). Together, these measurements provide a complete health snapshot across all major body systems.
What this means
Your Hemoglobin A1c is slightly elevated, indicating your average blood sugar over the past 2-3 months has been higher than ideal. This level falls into the prediabetes range, meaning you're at increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes if lifestyle changes aren't made. The good news is that this stage is reversible with diet and exercise modifications.
Recommended actions
Reduce refined carbohydrates and added sugars in your diet
Incorporate 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week
Focus on high-fiber foods like vegetables, whole grains, and legumes
Retest in 3-6 months to monitor improvement after lifestyle changes
