CBC, CMP, UA, Thyroid, & Lipid Health Tests

This panel combines five common blood and urine tests: complete blood count (CBC), comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP), urinalysis (UA), thyroid function, and lipid profile. It is ordered to screen for a range of conditions, including anemia, diabetes, kidney or liver problems, thyroid disorders, and high cholesterol.

What it measures

Hemoglobin — Part of CBC; measures oxygen-carrying protein in red blood cells.
Glucose — Part of CMP; measures blood sugar level.
Creatinine — Part of CMP; reflects kidney function.
Urine protein — Part of UA; checks for protein in urine, which can signal kidney issues.
TSH — Thyroid-stimulating hormone; screens for underactive or overactive thyroid.
LDL cholesterol — Part of lipid panel; 'bad' cholesterol that can clog arteries.

Who it is for

A healthcare provider may order this panel during a routine checkup, to monitor chronic conditions, or to investigate symptoms like fatigue, weight changes, or swelling.

Preparation

Fasting for 9–12 hours is often required for accurate lipid and glucose results; water is fine. Tell your provider about all medications, as some can affect results.

Results and what they mean

Results are reported as numbers with reference ranges, typically within 1–3 business days. Your clinician interprets them alongside your history and symptoms. This is general information, not medical advice; discuss your results with a qualified professional.
