What this test measures
This comprehensive women's health panel combines six essential blood tests to provide a complete picture of overall health and wellness. The panel evaluates multiple body systems including blood cell production, metabolic function, cardiovascular health, thyroid activity, iron storage, and vitamin D status.
The Complete Blood Count (CBC) measures red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets to assess for anemia, infections, and blood disorders. The Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) evaluates kidney and liver function, blood sugar levels, and electrolyte balance. The Lipid Panel measures cholesterol and triglycerides to assess cardiovascular risk. The TSH test evaluates thyroid function, which affects metabolism, energy levels, and overall hormone balance. The Iron/Ferritin test measures iron storage to detect deficiency or overload. Finally, the Vitamin D test assesses levels of this important hormone that supports bone health, immune function, and overall wellness.
What's included
Who should consider this test
You might consider this test if you are experiencing any of the following:
- Women seeking comprehensive health screening as part of routine wellness care
- Individuals experiencing fatigue, weakness, or unexplained changes in energy levels
- Those with family history of heart disease, diabetes, thyroid disorders, or anemia
- Women with irregular menstrual cycles or heavy periods that may affect iron levels
- Individuals wanting to monitor cholesterol levels and cardiovascular health
- Those concerned about bone health or limited sun exposure affecting vitamin D levels
What to expect
Preparation
Fasting for 8-12 hours before the test is typically recommended for accurate cholesterol and glucose measurements. Only water is permitted during the fasting period. No other special preparation is required for the remaining tests in the panel.
Sample Type
Blood sample collected through a standard blood draw from a vein in the arm
Collection
A healthcare professional will draw blood using a small needle inserted into a vein in your arm. The blood is collected into test tubes and sent to the laboratory for analysis.
Turnaround
Results are typically available within 1-2 business days and can be accessed through a secure online portal, with no doctor visit required
Understanding your results
Each test in the panel has its own reference ranges, and results are interpreted by comparing individual values to these established normal ranges. Reference ranges may vary slightly between laboratories based on their specific equipment and testing methods. It's important to understand that abnormal results don't necessarily indicate a medical condition, as various factors including diet, medications, and temporary conditions can affect test outcomes.
| Population | Reference Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Adult Women | CBC: Hemoglobin 12.0-15.3 g/dL, Hematocrit 35.9-44.6% | Based on Cleveland Clinic and WHO guidelines for healthy adult women |
| Adults | CMP: Glucose 70-99 mg/dL (fasting), Creatinine 0.6-1.3 mg/dL | Normal metabolic function indicators |
| Adults | Lipid Panel: Total Cholesterol <200 mg/dL, HDL >50 mg/dL (women) | Cardiovascular health assessment ranges |
| Adults | TSH: 0.4-4.0 mIU/L | Normal thyroid function range |
| Adult Women | Ferritin: 15-200 ng/mL | Iron storage assessment for women |
| Adults | Vitamin D: 30-50 ng/mL (optimal range) | Many experts recommend this range for optimal health |
Reference ranges shown are general guidelines. Your lab report will include the specific reference range used by the laboratory that processed your sample, which is the authoritative range for interpreting your results.
What does a “Low” result mean?
Low results may suggest different health concerns depending on the affected test. Low blood counts often indicate anemia or other blood disorders, while low metabolic markers might suggest malnutrition or specific organ dysfunction. Low HDL cholesterol may increase heart disease risk, and low TSH typically indicates an overactive thyroid. Low ferritin suggests iron deficiency, which is particularly common in women, while low vitamin D levels may affect bone health and immune function.
What does a “High” result mean?
Elevated results may indicate various conditions depending on which specific test shows abnormal values. High blood counts might suggest infection or blood disorders, while elevated metabolic panel markers could indicate kidney or liver dysfunction, or diabetes. High cholesterol levels may increase cardiovascular risk, while high TSH typically indicates an underactive thyroid. Elevated ferritin can occur with inflammation or iron overload, and high vitamin D levels are usually from excessive supplementation.
Privacy & confidentiality
