What this test measures
The Senior Wellness Panel is a comprehensive health screening test designed to evaluate multiple organ systems and detect early signs of age-related health conditions. This panel combines essential laboratory testing to help identify early signs of nutritional deficiencies, metabolic imbalance, and chronic disease by assessing cardiovascular health, metabolism, blood health, thyroid function, kidney and liver performance, and iron levels. The panel includes blood tests that measure blood cell counts, organ function markers, cholesterol levels, blood sugar control, thyroid hormones, and key vitamins, along with a urine analysis.
This wellness panel is a critical tool for preventive healthcare, offering insights into your blood, organs, metabolism, and overall health. From CBC and CMP to cholesterol, thyroid, A1C, and vitamin D testing, these panels help detect issues early, guide treatment, and support a healthier lifestyle. Many people are deficient when it comes to nutrients like iron, vitamin D, and vitamin B12, however, they're essential for normal body functions such as blood sugar regulation, gut health, hormone function, and more. Nutritional testing can help avoid or pinpoint nutritional imbalances, which can lead to symptoms like weight gain or loss, muscle and joint pain, fatigue, and more.
What's included
Who should consider this test
You might consider this test if you are experiencing any of the following:
- Adults age 50 and older who want a comprehensive annual health screening to establish baseline values and monitor changes in their health status over time.
- Individuals with a family history of heart disease, diabetes, thyroid disorders, or kidney disease who need regular monitoring of relevant biomarkers.
- People experiencing unexplained symptoms such as persistent fatigue, weight changes, muscle weakness, or changes in energy levels that may indicate underlying health conditions.
- Those taking medications that may affect liver function, kidney health, or blood sugar levels and require regular monitoring of organ function markers.
- Adults who want to assess their cardiovascular risk factors through cholesterol testing and inflammatory markers before making lifestyle or treatment decisions.
- Individuals concerned about nutritional deficiencies, particularly vitamin D and B12, which become more common with age and can affect energy, bone health, and cognitive function.
What to expect
Preparation
Fasting for 9-12 hours is required before your appointment, with only water permitted during this time. If you take medications that must be taken with food, consult your healthcare provider about timing. Plan your appointment for the morning if possible to minimize fasting discomfort.
Sample Type
The test requires both a blood draw and a urine sample. The blood draw involves inserting a small needle into a vein in your arm to collect several tubes of blood for the various tests included in the panel.
Collection
At the lab location, you'll provide identification and complete any required paperwork. A trained phlebotomist will collect your blood sample, which typically takes 5-10 minutes. You'll also provide a urine sample in a provided container.
Turnaround
Results are typically available within 1-3 business days and will be accessible through your secure online account. No doctor visit is required to order or receive your results.
Understanding your results
Together, these tests provide a comprehensive evaluation of organ function, oxygen delivery, immune health, hormone balance, and nutritional status. Your results will include values for each biomarker along with reference ranges to help you understand whether your levels fall within typical ranges for your age and gender.
| Population | Reference Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Adult Males | Hemoglobin: 13.8-17.2 g/dL, Total Cholesterol: <200 mg/dL, Glucose: 70-100 mg/dL, PSA: <4.0 ng/mL | Reference ranges vary by specific test component and may differ slightly between laboratories |
| Adult Females | Hemoglobin: 12.1-15.1 g/dL, Total Cholesterol: <200 mg/dL, Glucose: 70-100 mg/dL | Female reference ranges for certain markers may vary based on age and hormonal status |
| General Adult Population | A1C: <5.7%, TSH: 0.4-4.5 mU/L, Vitamin D: 30-100 ng/mL, Vitamin B12: 200-900 pg/mL | Optimal ranges may vary based on individual health conditions and risk factors |
Reference ranges may vary by laboratory and individual factors. Results should be interpreted by a healthcare provider in the context of your overall health.
What does a “Low” result mean?
Low results may indicate anemia, infection, inflammation, or other blood disorders affecting kidney function. Iron deficiency will lower the red blood cell count, and a deficiency in B12 can lead to macrocytic anemia characterized by the production of fewer but larger red blood cells. B12 deficiency can also lead to varying degrees of neuropathy, nerve damage that can cause tingling and numbness in the hands and feet. 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels below 25 ng/mL are associated with an increased risk of secondary hyperparathyroidism, reduced bone mineral density, and fractures, particularly in the elderly. Low thyroid hormone levels may indicate hypothyroidism, which can cause fatigue, weight gain, and other metabolic symptoms.
What does a “High” result mean?
Elevated results in various components of this panel may indicate conditions such as diabetes, inflammation, infections, anemia, liver disease, kidney failure, or heart disease. These tests include measurements related to a variety of health issues such as heart disease, diabetes, liver function, kidney function, inflammation, infections, cancer, anemia, and thyroid function. Elevated glucose levels may suggest diabetes or prediabetes, but the CMP alone cannot diagnose diabetes. If glucose levels are higher than expected, your doctor may recommend additional tests, such as a fasting glucose test, an A1C test, or an oral glucose tolerance test, to confirm a diagnosis. Higher levels in lipid markers may indicate increased cardiovascular risk, while elevated inflammatory markers could suggest underlying inflammation that warrants further evaluation.
Privacy & confidentiality
Your Senior Wellness Panel results are completely confidential and protected under HIPAA regulations. Results are not shared with your personal physician unless you choose to do so, and they are not added to your medical records or insurance claims. No doctor visit is required to order this comprehensive health screening.
