Metabolic Health + Lipids Panel (Bioreference)

What this panel includes

• Comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP): Includes fasting glucose and markers of liver, kidney, and electrolyte balance

• Fasting insulin: Helps assess insulin sensitivity and early metabolic dysfunction

• Hemoglobin A1c: Reflects average blood sugar control over time

• Leptin: A hormone involved in appetite regulation, energy balance, and metabolic signaling

• Lipid profile with ratios: Total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides, and lipid fractionation (particles and size) for cardiovascular risk assessment

• Complete blood count (CBC) with differential: Provides insight into overall health, immune status, and potential anemia or inflammation

Biomarkers tested

Why patients choose this

• A structured baseline of the markers that influence how the body processes energy, regulates blood sugar, and maintains metabolic and cardiovascular balance.
• Useful for those experiencing fatigue, weight changes, difficulty losing weight, or energy fluctuations.
• Evaluates glucose and insulin dynamics, lipids, and blood count together for a fuller metabolic picture.
• Helpful for anyone wanting to understand their risk for insulin resistance, metabolic dysfunction, or cardiovascular disease before more advanced issues develop.
• Schedule your lab test seamlessly and complete it at a lab near you.

Before your test

It is recommended to fast for at least 8 hours before.

Important information

Why it matters: these markers play a critical role in insulin sensitivity, lipid metabolism, weight regulation, energy levels, and long-term metabolic health.

Who it's for: appropriate for those seeking a baseline metabolic assessment, experiencing symptoms like fatigue, weight changes, or energy fluctuations, or wanting to understand their risk for insulin resistance, metabolic dysfunction, or cardiovascular disease.

It is recommended to fast for at least 8 hours before your draw.
