Comprehensive Wellness Panel in Alaska

What this test measures

This panel is designed to evaluate the body as a whole by grouping several routine tests. A complete blood count assesses red cells, white cells, and platelets, while a metabolic panel reviews blood sugar, kidney function, liver enzymes, and electrolytes. A lipid panel, thyroid marker, and urinalysis complete the set. Together these tests provide a wide-angle view that supports preventive care discussions.

A blood sample is collected by venipuncture, and a urine sample is collected in a sterile cup. The laboratory uses automated analyzers for cell counts and chemistry methods for the metabolic and lipid markers. Fasting may be requested because glucose and triglyceride values are influenced by recent meals. The combination of blood and urine data gives a more complete picture than either alone.

People order this panel for an annual physical, when establishing care with a new provider, or when they want baseline data across several systems. It is a screening panel rather than a diagnosis of any specific disease. A qualified healthcare provider should interpret the results with your symptoms, medications, and history, and arrange follow-up when a value falls outside the reference range.
