The basic health panel groups several common tests that clinicians frequently order together for a general health review. It combines a comprehensive metabolic panel, a urinalysis, and a lipid panel, giving a broad look at blood sugar, kidney and liver function, electrolytes, blood proteins, urine health, and cholesterol. It is often used for routine wellness visits, to monitor chronic conditions, or to investigate vague symptoms such as fatigue or weight change. Each component is reported separately, and a healthcare provider interprets the combined results in the context of your history and lifestyle.

• Adults who want a broad routine wellness check
• People being monitored for diabetes, kidney, liver, or cholesterol conditions
• Individuals with unexplained fatigue, weight change, or swelling
• Those starting a medication that requires baseline lab work
• Anyone whose healthcare provider wants a general health overview

• Glucose Blood sugar level, reflecting how the body handles energy.
• BUN (blood urea nitrogen) A waste product that helps assess kidney function.
• Creatinine A waste product used to evaluate kidney function.
• eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate) A calculated estimate of how well the kidneys filter blood.
• Sodium An electrolyte important for fluid balance and nerve and muscle function.
• Potassium An electrolyte that supports heart and muscle function.
• Chloride An electrolyte that helps maintain fluid and acid-base balance.
• Carbon dioxide (bicarbonate) A measure related to the body's acid-base balance.
• Calcium A mineral important for bones, nerves, and muscle function.
• Total protein The combined amount of albumin and globulin proteins in the blood.
• Albumin A liver-made protein that helps maintain fluid balance and transport substances.
• Globulin A group of proteins, including antibodies, calculated with albumin and total protein.
• Total bilirubin A pigment produced from red blood cell breakdown, assessed for liver and bile function.
• ALP (alkaline phosphatase) An enzyme associated with the liver, bile ducts, and bone.
• AST (aspartate aminotransferase) A liver enzyme that can rise with liver or muscle injury.
• ALT (alanine aminotransferase) A liver enzyme that is relatively specific to the liver.
• Total cholesterol The combined cholesterol carried in the blood.
• LDL cholesterol Low-density lipoprotein, often called bad cholesterol.
• HDL cholesterol High-density lipoprotein, often called good cholesterol.
• Triglycerides A type of blood fat that reflects diet and metabolism.
• VLDL cholesterol A triglyceride-rich particle calculated from triglyceride levels.
• Urine appearance and color A visual check of the urine sample for cloudiness or unusual color.
• Urine pH A measure of how acidic or alkaline the urine is.
• Urine specific gravity A measure of urine concentration and hydration status.
• Urine protein Detects protein in urine, which may relate to kidney function.
• Urine glucose Detects sugar in urine.
• Urine ketones Detects ketones, which can appear with fasting or metabolic conditions.
• Urine blood Detects blood in urine that may not be visible.
• Urine leukocyte esterase Suggests the presence of white blood cells in urine.
• Urine nitrite A marker that can suggest a bacterial urinary tract infection.
• Urine bilirubin Detects bilirubin in urine, which may relate to liver or bile issues.
• Urine urobilinogen A substance formed from bilirubin breakdown, measured in urine.
• Urine microscopy A microscopic review of urine for cells, casts, crystals, and other elements.

• Fasting for about 9 to 12 hours is often requested because of the glucose and lipid components
• Drink water and stay hydrated, but avoid alcohol and heavy meals the night before
• A urine sample is collected for the urinalysis; follow the lab's clean-catch instructions
• Tell the lab about medications and supplements, as some affect liver, kidney, or lipid results

Each component is reported separately. Abnormal glucose may relate to blood sugar control, abnormal kidney values may reflect reduced filtration, and elevated liver enzymes may point to liver stress. Lipid values help assess cardiovascular risk, while abnormal urine findings may suggest infection, dehydration, or kidney concerns. No single value stands alone, and a healthcare provider interprets the combination with your history. Discuss your panel results with a healthcare provider, who can explain what the findings mean and what follow-up, if any, is appropriate.
