Complete Blood Count
WBC-White blood cells are the body's primary defense against disease and infection.

RBC-Red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen and carbon dioxide to all cells.

Hemoglobin-A chemical compound inside red cells that transports oxygen through the blood stream to all cells of the body. Oxygen is needed for healthy organs. Hemoglobin gives the red color to blood.

Hematocrit - Hematocrit measures the amount of space red blood cells take up in the blood.

Lymphocytes-The results of this and basophils, eosinophils, monocytes and neutrophils access white blood cell function. Important to the body's defense against infection and in assessing nutritional status.

Monocytes- The results of this and basophils, eosinophils, monocytes and neutrophils access white blood cell function. Important to the body's defense against infection and in assessing nutritional status.

MCH Mean- corpuscular hemoglobin is one way to measure the average hemoglobin concentration within red blood cells, which varies from normal with different diseases.

MCHC Mean- corpuscular hemoglobin concentration.

MCV Mean- corpuscular volume measures red blood cell volume.
Monocytes Important in the assessment of nutritional status.

Neutrophils- The results of this and basophils, eosinophils, monocytes and neutrophils access white blood cell function. Important to the body's defense against infection and in assessing nutritional status.

Platelets- Blood cell particles involved with the forming of blood clots.

RDW- Red cell distribution width (RDW) is a calculation of the variation in the size of your RBCs. In some anemias, such as pernicious anemia, the amount of variation (anisocytosis) in RBC size (along with variation in shape - poikilocytosis) causes an increase in the RDW.

Liver Profile
Alanine aminotransferase (ALT or SGPT)- an enzyme found primarily in the liver. Abnormalities may represent liver disease.

Albumin - serum one of the major proteins in the blood and a reflection of the general state of nutrition.

Albumin/Globulin ratio - Calculated by dividing the albumin by the globulin.

Alkaline phosphatase - A body protein important in diagnosing proper bone and liver functions.

Aspartate aminotransferase (AST or SGOT) - an enzyme found in skeletal and heart muscle, liver and other organs. Abnormalities may represent liver disease.

Bilirubin - Total A chemical involved with liver functions. High concentrations may result in jaundice.

Globulin, Total - A major group of proteins in the blood comprising the infection fighting antibodies.

Protein, Total - Together with albumin, it is a measure of the state of nutrition in the body.

Kidney Panel
Urea Nitrogen (BUN) - A by-product of protein metabolism eliminated through the kidneys. BUN is an indicator of kidney function.

Creatinine, Serum - An indicator of kidney function.

Bun/Creatinine - Ratio Calculated by dividing the BUN by the Creatinine.

Cardiovascular Function - Heart Disease
Cholesterol, Total - A sterol in the blood. Knowing your cholesterol may be as important as knowing your blood pressure. Elevated cholesterol is associated with an increasing risk of coronary heart disease.

HDL - Cholesterol High-density lipoproteins are believed to take cholesterol away from cells and transport it back to the liver for processing or removal. They have become known as the ""good"" cholesterol as persons with high levels of HDL may have less heart disease. Low HDL could be the result of smoking and lack of exercise.

LDL - Cholesterol Low-density lipoproteins contain the greatest percentage of cholesterol and may be responsible for depositing cholesterol on the artery walls. For that reason, they could be known as the ""bad"" cholesterol.

Cholesterol/HDL Ratio - Calculated by dividing the total cholesterol by the HDL cholesterol. Ratio used by physicians in determining your relative risk for developing cardiovascular heart disease.

Triglycerides - Triglycerides is a fat in the blood responsible for providing energy to the cells of the body. Triglycerides should be less than 400 mg/dl even in a non-fasting state.

Bone
Calcium - A mineral essential for development and maintenance of healthy bones and teeth. It is important also for the normal function of muscles, nerves and blood clotting.

Fluids & Electrolytes
Chloride, Serum - Similar to sodium, it helps to maintain the body's electrolyte balance.

Potassium - Helps to control the nerves and muscles.

Sodium, Serum - One of the major salts in the body fluid; sodium is important in the body's water balance and the electrical activity of nerves and muscles.

Carbon Dioxide - ordered as part of an electrolyte panel. The electrolyte panel is used to detect, evaluate, and monitor electrolyte imbalances.

Diabetes
Glucose - Blood sugar level, the most direct single test to uncover diabetes, may be used not only to identify diabetes, but also to evaluate how one controls the disease. "
