The CBC test and CMP test include a variety of markers that check your immune system, red blood cells, clotting system, electrolytes, kidney and liver function. The glucose test and hemoglobin A1c test screen for diabetes. The lipid panel test measures your standard lipid and cholesterol markers. An abnormal lipid panel suggests you are at an increased risk of heart disease and stroke.
The homocysteine test provides another assessment of cardiovascular risk. The iron & TIBC test are helpful as a screen for iron deficiency. The TSH test is often considered the initial screening test for thyroid disease. Vitamin B12 is important for a variety of metabolic functions in the body, circadian rhythms and nerve function. Vitamin D is important for bone and tissue health and is also important for proper immune system function.
