Annual Health Checkup Panel, LabCorp

The Annual Health Checkup Panel includes:

The Complete Blood Count (CBC) test measures the blood for white blood cell count, platelet count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, red cell distribution width (RCDW), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), neutrophils, absolute lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils. This test is common in general wellness checkups as well as screening for many conditions. For example, it may be ordered to check for anemia, infection, inflammation, and cancer. 

The Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) measures health markers including glucose and calcium levels; proteins like Albumin along with the total amount of protein in the blood; electrolytes including sodium, potassium, and chloride; kidney-based levels like Blood urea nitrogen (BUN), which is a waste product filtered by the kidneys; and liver tests like Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), which can indicate liver disease if levels are elevated.

The Lipid Panel with Total Cholesterol identifies several health markers related to cholesterol and lipid levels within the blood. It can help diagnose coronary heart disease, as well as your risk of developing arterial plaque (atherosclerosis) which can lead to heart disease. The Lipid Panel with Total Cholesterol is often used as a general health screening to track heart health.

The Hemoglobin A1c Test show your average blood sugar levels. It is commonly used to diagnose Diabetes types 1 and 2, and to monitor a patient’s ongoing management of diabetes. This test can also identify when a patient has prediabetes, which is a condition that leads to a higher likelihood of developing diabetes. If a patient is diagnosed with prediabetes, they will likely be advised to make lifestyle changes to decrease their risk of developing Diabetes.

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) is the hormone that stimulates the release of thyroid hormones T3 and T4. This test is typically the first line in screening for hypothyroidism (abnormally low thyroid function) and hyperthyroidism (abnormally high thyroid function). If TSH levels are low, it typically indicates an overactive thyroid function. If TSH levels are high, it typically indicates low thyroid function.

The Urinalysis test screens for a variety of conditions, including urinary bladder disease; kidney disease; and diabetes. Many systemic illnesses can affect results and significant deviations from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.
