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.

Urinalysis

Insights Insights

Everything appears to be within the normal range. This is good news, as it indicates that there are no significant abnormalities or issues with your urinary system. It's important to note that normal ranges can vary depending on age and sex, and your results fall within the healthy range for a male of your age. A normal urinalysis suggests that there are no signs of infection, inflammation, or other underlying conditions affecting your urinary system. Your test results indicate that there are no bacteria, red or white blood cells, or leukocyte esterase present in your urine. Additionally, there are no signs of abnormalities in the levels of nitrite, occult blood, ketones, bilirubin, glucose, pH, specific gravity, appearance, color, protein, or hyaline cast. It's always encouraging to see normal results, as it suggests that your urinary system is functioning as it should. However, it's important to remember that a urinalysis is just one piece of the puzzle when it comes to assessing your overall health. If you have any concerns or symptoms, it's recommended that you discuss them with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance. Keep up with your regular check-ups and screenings to ensure that you continue to maintain good health.

What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're preparing for scuba diving certification or want to ensure you're physically fit and safe for diving. It helps identify potential health risks like kidney problems, liver issues, metabolic imbalances, blood disorders, or cardiovascular concerns that could become dangerous underwater. Many divers use this comprehensive panel to get medical clearance and peace of mind before diving deep.

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 this time. If you're taking diuretics or medications like pyrazinamide, ethambutol, or nicotinic acid that can affect uric acid levels, discuss temporarily stopping them with your doctor before testing. Proper preparation ensures the most accurate results for your diving fitness evaluation.

What's included in this test?

Amylase Creatine Kinase, Total GGT LD Phosphate (As Phosphorus) Uric Acid

This comprehensive diving fitness panel includes a Complete Blood Count to check for anemia and blood cell health, a Comprehensive Metabolic Panel evaluating kidney function, liver enzymes, electrolytes, and glucose levels, a Lipid Panel for cardiovascular health, and specialized tests including Creatine Kinase for muscle damage, Lactic Acid Dehydrogenase for tissue health, Amylase for pancreatic function, GGT for liver assessment, Uric Acid for gout risk, Phosphate levels, and a Complete Urinalysis to detect kidney or metabolic issues. Together, these measurements provide a complete picture of your body's ability to handle the physical stress and pressure changes of scuba diving safely.

What happens after I get my results?
You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your metabolic, kidney, liver, and blood health markers mean for your diving safety. These notes include personalized recommendations like hydration strategies, dietary adjustments, fitness improvements, or whether you should consult a diving medicine specialist before certification. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your fitness markers over time using our trends feature to monitor your readiness for future dives.
Who should consider getting this test?
Anyone seeking scuba diving certification should consider this test, as it's part of the recommended medical guidelines for safe diving. It's especially important for people with existing health conditions, those over 40, anyone taking regular medications, or divers who haven't had a checkup recently. Even experienced divers benefit from periodic testing to ensure they remain physically fit for the demands of underwater activities.
What symptoms indicate I may need this test before diving?
If you're experiencing unexplained fatigue, shortness of breath, dizziness, chest discomfort, joint pain, frequent urination, or any concerning symptoms, you should get this test before diving. Signs like easy bruising, persistent headaches, muscle weakness, or difficulty with physical exertion are also red flags. Even without symptoms, this baseline screening helps identify hidden issues that could become dangerous at depth.
How can I naturally support my fitness for scuba diving?
Build your cardiovascular endurance through regular swimming, cycling, or running to handle the physical demands of diving. Stay well-hydrated before and after dives, maintain a balanced diet rich in lean proteins, whole grains, and vegetables, and ensure adequate electrolyte intake. Practice breathing exercises to improve lung capacity and focus on strength training for core and leg muscles to support gear carrying and water navigation.
What do the kidney function tests tell me about dive safety?
Kidney function markers like creatinine, BUN, and urinalysis are critical for diving safety because your kidneys help regulate fluid balance, electrolytes, and blood pressure underwater. Healthy kidneys are essential for processing nitrogen buildup from compressed air and maintaining proper hydration during dives. Poor kidney function increases risks of decompression sickness and can affect your body's ability to handle pressure changes at depth.
What does high Creatine Kinase mean for divers?
Elevated Creatine Kinase (CK) can indicate muscle damage, overtraining, or muscle inflammation that might compromise your physical ability to handle diving demands. High CK levels could suggest you need more recovery time between workouts or dives. Persistent elevation might warrant further evaluation to rule out underlying muscle disorders that could become problematic in underwater emergency situations.
How often should I retest before diving activities?
If you're getting certified for the first time, this one-time pre-certification test is typically sufficient if results are normal. Active divers should consider retesting annually, especially if over 40 or if you have chronic health conditions. If any abnormalities are found, your doctor will recommend a follow-up timeline, often 3-6 months, to ensure issues are resolved before you're cleared for diving.
