Preparation: Fast for 12 hours (no food or drink, except water) before sample collection. If you’re taking a supplement containing biotin (also called vitamin B7 or B8, vitamin H, or coenzyme R), commonly found in products promoting nail, skin and hair health, it is recommended that you wait at least 72 hours from your last dose before sample collection.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men in the United States.¹
Several medical conditions and/or lifestyle factors can contribute to a higher risk for heart disease, including diabetes, obesity, poor diet, inactivity and excessive alcohol use.¹
As men age, they experience a slow and continuous decrease in testosterone production. While this change is normal, it can sometimes result in symptoms which warrant further evaluation.
As men age, they experience a slow and continuous decrease in testosterone production. While this change is normal, it can sometimes result in symptoms which warrant further evaluation.
Hypogonadism, a condition characterized by low testosterone levels, can lead to sexual dysfunction, decreased muscle and bone strength, less energy and lower fertility.²

Your metabolism is the life force of all your body’s energy, turning what you eat into the fuel to support vital functions including heart rate, brain function and breathing. A metabolic test can reveal how the pieces involved are working to support your body’s needs.
This comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) blood test measures essential components in your blood (including sugars, minerals, electrolytes, enzymes and waste products) that contribute to your overall health and provide information on the functioning status of your metabolism, liver and kidneys. When reviewed by your healthcare provider, a CMP test with a clinical examination may help detect certain health conditions like diabetes, kidney disease, liver inflammation or electrolyte imbalances.
Note: A CMP panel may reveal results that suggest abnormal thyroid function, but it does not directly measure thyroid function. To assess your thyroid function, consider our Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) Test or the Thyroid Health Blood Test Package, which also provides TSH results.
An electrically charged mineral (electrolyte) that helps regulate fluid and acid-base balance within the body.
A measure of a group of proteins that function to help transport nutrients and help the body fight infections.
A mineral essential to bone and muscle health.
An enzyme found in the cells of the liver and other tissue.
A measure of the amount of albumin present compared to globulin present in the blood. Both albumin and globulin are proteins produced by the liver.
A waste product produced by the liver as it breaks down red blood cells.
A protein waste product removed from the blood by the kidneys.
An electrically charged mineral (electrolyte) necessary for healthy muscle and nerve function that also helpsmaintain fluid balance.
An electrically charged mineral (electrolyte) vital to a cell’s ability to take in nutrients and remove waste; it is also essential for muscle function and regulating fluid balance.
The primary type of sugar found in your blood.
The total amount of proteins (including albumin) found in the blood that helps determine overall nutritional status.
The main protein that circulates in the blood, which provides tissue nourishment, carries substances (such as hormones and drugs) in the blood, and helps keep fluids within the blood vessels.
A waste product created by the body’s metabolism that helps maintain the body’s acid-base balance (pH) in the form of the electrolyte bicarbonate.
An enzyme found mostly in the cells of the liver and kidney.
An enzyme found in the cells throughout the body but mostly in the cells of the heart and liver.
A muscle-produced waste product filtered out by the kidneys.
A comparison of BUN levels to creatinine levels, two waste products filtered by the kidneys.
A calculation (factored from your serum creatinine level, age, and gender) used to determine your level of kidney function; the higher your eGFR number, the better your kidneys are working; low results may be a sign of kidney disease.
If knowledge is power, these tests will give you the answers you need for a stronger tomorrow. Understand your overall health and wellness with this comprehensive set of tests to help alert you to common concerns like diabetes, heart disease, hormone levels, thyroid functionality and more.
Produced as a waste product by the kidneys, your urine can tell you a lot about the state of your health. Many disorders may be detected in their early stages by identifying substances that are generally not present in the urine or by measuring abnormal levels of certain substances including glucose, protein, bilirubin and bacteria.
A routine urine analysis can aid in the detection of a variety of health conditions including urinary tract infections (UTI), kidney diseases and diabetes.
Note: This is not a drug test or pregnancy test. While pregnancy tests and drug screenings often include urine samples, those tests look for substances that are not included in this routine urinalysis.
Detects if nitrites, byproducts of nitrogen waste, are present in the urine. Nitrites in the urine are often the result of certain bacteria that when growing in the bladder, ureters, or kidneys can be a sign of a urinary tract infection (UTI) or other causes.
Detects hemoglobin which usually indicates the presence of microscopic blood in the urine, also known as hematuria.
Measures the level of ketones; compounds made by the liver in response to your body burning fat for energy instead of glucose.
Measures the level of a protein called albumin in urine.
Measures the acidity or alkalinity of urine.
A measure of urine concentration, determined by comparing the density of urine to the density of water, and used to help evaluate hydration status and other urinalysis results.
Measures the level of urobilinogen, a byproduct of bilirubin that is eventually eliminated through the stool and urine.
A visual examination of the urine’s physical appearance, which includes assessing color, clarity, or cloudiness.
The visual examination and classification of the urine’s color.
Measures the levels of leukocyte esterase, an enzyme found in most white blood cells, which indicates the presence of white blood cells in urine.
Measures the number of red blood cells (erythrocytes). Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, a protein that carries oxygen throughout the body. Red blood count testing is not performed if protein, WBC esterase, occult blood, and nitrites are all negative.
Detects the number of white blood cells (leukocytes) in the body, cells that fight off infections and foreign agents that may infect the body. White blood count testing is not performed if protein, WBC esterase, occult blood, and nitrites are all negative.
A measure of the number of epithelial cells in urine; a type of cell found on your skin, urinary tract, and organs. Epithelial cells (non renal) testing is not performed if protein, WBC esterase, occult blood, and nitrites are all negative.
A measure of the number of epithelial cells in urine; a type of cell found on your skin, urinary tract, and organs. Epithelial cells (renal) testing is not performed if protein, WBC esterase, occult blood, and nitrites are all negative.
This cholesterol and lipid panel measures both LDL and HDL cholesterol levels to help you get a better picture of your heart health.
Lipids are microscopic fatty substances (including cholesterol and triglycerides) within your body. Assessing them can reveal much about your overall health. For example, high levels of “bad” LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol can build up in the walls of your arteries, increasing your risk for heart disease. Conversely, high levels of “good” HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol can remove LDL cholesterol from your body, reducing your risk for heart disease.
High cholesterol usually has no symptoms, meaning you may have high cholesterol without knowing it. Knowing your cholesterol numbers is the first step towards a healthy heart and healthy life.
A measure of the total sum of cholesterol (LDL, HDL, and VLDL) in the body.
Measures the amount of LDL in the blood, known as the “bad” cholesterol because LDL particles can build up in the walls of your arteries, which increases the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Measures the amount of VLDL in blood, the cholesterol from particles that carry triglycerides in the body that are then converted to LDL. Elevated VLDL levels can increase your risk of heart disease.
Measures the amount of HDL in the blood, known as "good" cholesterol because it comes from particles that remove "bad "cholesterol from the body, which reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Measures the number of triglycerides in the blood, a type of fat that circulates in your blood and comes from adipose, the primary fat stored from food used to supply your energy. High triglyceride levels can increase the risk of heart disease.
Standard glucose tests only measure blood sugar levels at the time the sample is collected. This HbA1c (hemoglobin A1c) test measures your average blood sugar level over an extended period (8-12 weeks) and is a useful tool for screening for prediabetes and diabetes.
Knowing your average blood sugar levels serves as a critical indicator of your health. Consistently elevated blood sugar levels often indicate prediabetes and diabetes: a serious disease that can ultimately affect the health and function of other parts of the body including your nervous system, cardiovascular system, eyes and kidneys.
Measures the average amount of glucose in your blood over an extended period (typically 8-12 weeks).
Your testosterone levels could be interfering with your goals for a healthier, happier life. Testosterone is responsible for many essential characteristics and functions within the male body. This testosterone blood test can help you determine if your testosterone level is within the normal range for your age.
By measuring the total level of testosterone in your body, you can identify any factors that might interfere with sex drive (libido), bone mass, fat distribution, muscle mass or production of red blood cells and sperm.
Note: This testosterone level test is only clinically appropriate for men. If you are a woman seeking a testosterone test, you should contact your healthcare provider.
Testosterone is a key hormone that is responsible for regulating sex drive (libido), bone mass, fat distribution, muscle mass and production of red blood cells and sperm. This test measures the total amount of testosterone in your blood, including the testosterone that’s both attached and not attached to proteins.
