  • Comprehensive Metabolic Panel — reflects kidney, liver, and electrolyte balance
  • Lipid Panel — reflects cholesterol and triglyceride levels
  • Thyroid Stimulating Hormone — reflects thyroid gland activity
  • Urinalysis — reflects kidney and urinary tract health

The panel typically requires a standard blood draw from a vein in your arm. In some cases, a urine sample may also be collected, depending on the specific markers included.
