A comprehensive metabolic panel checks 14 substances in your blood that show how your kidneys and liver are working, your blood sugar and your body’s chemical balance.
Before any hormone or wellness treatment, we want to know that your kidneys and liver, the organs that process medications, are healthy. The CMP also gives an early look at blood sugar. As a kidney specialist, Dr. Arora pays close attention to creatinine and GFR, because early kidney changes usually cause no symptoms.
At Serene Med Spa in Hudson, Ohio, every hormone and wellness plan starts with Labcorp lab work reviewed by a board-certified physician.
High glucose can signal prediabetes or diabetes. High creatinine or BUN can point to reduced kidney function or dehydration. High liver enzymes can come from fatty liver, alcohol, medications or other liver conditions.
Low sodium, potassium or albumin can reflect medications, fluid balance, nutrition or other medical conditions, and are always interpreted with your history.
Normal ranges vary by lab, age and sex. Your physician reads every result together with your symptoms, history and other tests.
You may be asked to fast (no food or drinks other than water) for several hours before the test so your glucose result is accurate.
Often, yes. Fasting for several hours makes the glucose result more accurate. We’ll tell you when you book your lab draw.
Creatinine and BUN show how well your kidneys filter waste, and creatinine is used to estimate your GFR, a standard measure of kidney function.
It confirms your kidneys, liver and blood sugar are healthy before treatment and gives a baseline for future comparison.
