CBC
measures the levels of red blood cells, white blood cells, platelet levels, hemoglobin and hematocrit. Many times it is ordered as a screening test, as an anemia check or as a test for infection. The Complete Blood Count with Differential can used to aid in diagnosing and treating a large number of other conditions.

Comprehensive Metabolic Panel(CMP)

Your body gets energy from food through a process called metabolism. The tests in this panel help see how well your liver and kidneys are working. These are two major organs involved in metabolism. These tests also measure your electrolyte and acid/base balance, your blood sugar, and your blood proteins. Electrolytes are mineral salts that help move nutrients into your cells and move waste products out of your cells. Electrolytes also help maintain your body's fluid and pH, or acidity, levels.

Lipid Panel

This group of tests measures the amount of cholesterol and triglycerides in your blood.

Cholesterol and triglycerides are lipids, or fats. This panel measures:

• Total cholesterol

• HDL ("good") cholesterol

• LDL ("bad") cholesterol

• Triglycerides

Total cholesterol is a measurement of both good and bad cholesterol. LDL cholesterol moves cholesterol into your arteries, and HDL cholesterol moves cholesterol out of your arteries. A high HDL cholesterol number lowers your risk for coronary heart disease. A high LDL cholesterol number raises your risk for coronary heart disease.

Thyroid Panel W/ TSH

This panel is used to evaluate thyroid function. Low thyroid function may result in fatigue, dry skin, and excessive weight gain. The test includes the following:

• Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
  Evaluates overall thyroid function.
• Total Thyroxine (T4)
  Evaluates the total amount of T4 produced by the thyroid gland.
• Free Thyroxine (T4)
  Evaluates the amount of T4 available to the cells and tissues.
• Free Tri-iodothyronine (T3)
  Measures the amount of T3 (the active form of the hormone) available to the cells and tissues.
