C-Reactive Protein, Inflammation (CRP)
Requires fasting: No
Phlebotomy required
Basic Metabolic Panel
Requires fasting: Yes
Phlebotomy required
Details
The basic metabolic panel is a blood test that measures sugar (glucose) level, electrolyte and fluid balance, and kidney function.
_______________________________
Cortisol
Requires fasting: No
Phlebotomy required
Details
Cortisol is a hormone that helps regulate the body's response to stress. This test can help diagnose conditions such as adrenocortical insufficiency, Addison's disease, adrenocortical hypersecretion, and Cushing's syndrome.
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel
Requires fasting: Yes
Phlebotomy required
Details
The Comprehensive Metabolic Panel is a set of tests that gives a broad overview of your body's chemical balance and metabolism. It checks your blood's levels of important substances like electrolytes, calcium, phosphorus, and glucose. It also looks at how well your kidneys and liver are working and your body's acid-base balance. This panel is often part of a routine health check to spot any disorders, especially those affecting the liver or kidneys.
- Sodium, Potassium, Chloride: Electrolytes that help balance your body's fluids.
- Carbon Dioxide (Bicarbonate): Helps understand your body's acid-base balance.
- Glucose: Measures your blood sugar levels.
- Calcium, Phosphorus: Essential minerals for bone health and more.
- Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN), Creatinine, eGFR: Checks kidney function.
- Phosphate: Important for energy production and bone health.
- Albumin, Total Protein: Measures protein levels in your blood, indicating liver and kidney health.
- Total Bilirubin: Helps detect liver or blood disorders.
- Alkaline Phosphatase, AST, ALT: Enzymes that indicate liver or bone health.
Heavy Metals Panel (Venous)
Requires fasting: No
Phlebotomy required
Details
Heavy Metals Panel (Venous) - Useful in the diagnosis of toxicity due to Arsenic, Lead or Mercury.
_______________________
Aluminum, Blood
Requires fasting: No
Phlebotomy required
Details
Aluminum, Blood - Aluminum has been found as a cause of encephalopathy in patients undergoing prolonged hemodialysis for renal failure. Patients in renal failure lose the ability to filter and excrete aluminum which consequently accumulates in the blood and eventually in the brain and in bone.
Cortisol, Total
Requires fasting: No
Phlebotomy required
Details
This test may be recommended for individuals showing symptoms of either high or low cortisol levels.
- Weight gain, especially around the midsection and upper back
- Muscle weakness
- Thin, easily bruised skin
- High blood pressure
- Mood swings, which show as anxiety, depression, or irritability
Low Cortisol Symptoms:
- Fatigue
- Low blood pressure
- Weight loss
- Muscle weakness
- Mood changes
Heavy Metals, 21 Toxic, Urine (24-hour)
Requires fasting: No
Sample collection required
Details
Heavy Metals, 21 Toxic, Urine measures the levels of 21 toxic metals excreted in urine. It is used to assess exposure to environmental or occupational heavy metal toxins that may impact health.

Hair Toxic Element Exposure Profile
Requires fasting: No
At home test
Details
Since 1972, Doctor’s Data has pioneered essential and toxic elemental testing. This non-invasive screening requires only .25 grams of hair – while providing information regarding recent and ongoing exposure to potentially toxic metals such as arsenic, aluminum, lead, methylmercury and more. Toxic elements may be 200 to 300 times more concentrated in hair than blood or urine. Therefore, hair is the tissue of choice for detection of recent exposure to many potentially toxic elements.
