Basic Female Hormone Panel

This test panel measures the chemistry and hormone levels associated with women aging.
Our Basic Hormone Panel for females includes testing levels of:
EstradiolIGF-1 (Insulin Like Growth Factor) Testosterone Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP)Complete Blood Count (CBC)Routine Urinalysis (UA)Lipid Panel Thyroid ProfileThe Lipid Panel is used to measure overall cholesterol levels in the body. Lipids are various forms of fat in the body and include cholesterol types. Higher levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL, also known as “bad cholesterol”) are associated with increased risk of heart attack.
LDL leads to atherosclerosis, a hardening of the veins that leads to plaque build-up and heart attacks.
This lipid panel measures levels of:
Total CholesterolHDL – “Good Cholesterol”LDL – “Bad Cholesterol”TriglyceridesThe Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) measures blood sugar (glucose) levels, electrolyte and fluid balance, kidney function, and liver function.
The 14 measurements included in the CMP help to provide a look at the overall health of the body and its metabolism and chemical balance, and can help diagnose certain conditions like diabetes, kidney disease, liver disease and hypertension. The CMP aids in determining how the liver and kidneys are functioning and where glucose, calcium, protein, sodium, potassium, and chloride levels stand.
The CMP blood test panel measures levels of:
AlbuminBlood urea nitrogen (BUN)CalciumCarbon dioxide (Bicarbonate)ChlorideCreatinineGlucosePotassiumSodiumTotal bilirubinTotal proteinAlanine aminotransferase (ALT)Alkaline phosphatase (ALP)Aspartate aminotransferase (AST)
In addition to the previous 14 measurements, the CMP also includes these calculated measurements:
BUN/Creatinine Ratio (calculated)Albumin/Globulin Ratio (calculated)Globulin (calculated)
The Complete Blood Count (CBC) with differential and platelets test helps to give an overall view of general health and screens for a broad scope of diseases and conditions. This test includes testing for 10 kinds of cells and cell molecules in the blood:
Hematocrit – The amount of red blood cells in the blood.Hemoglobin – A protein that transports oxygen or carbon dioxide in the blood.Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) – Measures the average volume of red blood cells in the blood.Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH) – The amount of hemoglobin per red blood cell.Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC) – The amount of hemoglobin concentrated in a given volume of red blood cells.Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW) – Measures the difference of red blood cell size or volume in blood sample.Percentage and Absolute Differential Counts – Measures the amounts of different white blood cell types within the blood.Platelet Count – Measures the amount of platelets (fragments and particles of cells) in the blood that are crucial for blood clotting.Red Blood Cell Count (RBC) – Measures the amounts of red blood cells in the blood. Red blood cells transport oxygen throughout the body.White Blood Cell Count (WBC) – Measures the amount of white blood cells in the blood. White blood cells defend the body against infections and foreign bodies.Our Urinalysis with macro and microscopic examination is a 12-panel test that examines a urine sample and analyzes numerous levels and elements within the urine including:
The urine sample’s colorAppearanceSpecific gravitypHProtein levelsGlucoseKetonesOccult bloodLeukocyte esteraseNitriteBilirubinUrobilinogenA urinalysis is important in accessing the chemical constituents in the urine and the relationship to various disease states. Microscopic examination helps to detect the presence of abnormal urine cells and formed elements. A urinalysis can detect abnormalities of urine; help diagnose and manage renal diseases, urinary tract infection, urinary tract neoplasms, systemic diseases, and inflammatory or neoplastic diseases adjacent to the urinary tract.
The Estradiol test measures the amount of the hormone estradiol in the blood. Estradiol, a form of estrogen, in women is mostly released from the ovaries and adrenal glands. It plays a key role in the growth of the uterus, vagina and Fallopian tubes, changes of the outer genitals, breast development, and the distribution of body fat.
The Testosterone test measures the total amount of testosterone in the blood, and is helpful in managing hirsutism or virilization in females.
Our Thyroid Panel includes measuring the following three thyroid levels:
T3 uptake (Triiodothyronine) – T3 is the active form of T4. This hormone informs cells to use digested food as energy, rather than store it as fat.T4 (Total Thyroxine) – A total T4 test measures the T4 that has bonded to protein and the free (unbonded) T4 in the blood.T7 (Free Thyroxine Index) – This measurement is a calculation of T4 and T3 uptake.
