What’s included in DrSays Heavy Metals and Metabolic Syndrome Panel

A protein carried by certain cholesterol-carrying particles; its amount reflects their total number.
HDL Cholesterol (HDL-C)
The amount of cholesterol carried inside HDL particles in the blood.
LDL Cholesterol (LDL-C)
The amount of cholesterol carried inside LDL particles, rather than the number of particles.
Calculated
Non-HDL Cholesterol (Non-HDL-C)Calc
Calculated by subtracting HDL cholesterol from total cholesterol, capturing cholesterol in the remaining particles.
Triglycerides
Fats circulating in the blood that store energy from food the body does not immediately use.
Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)]
The amount of Lp(a), a cholesterol-carrying particle whose concentration is largely inherited.
Glucose
The amount of glucose, the body's main circulating sugar and an energy source, in blood.
Sodium
A major electrolyte that helps regulate fluid balance and supports nerve and muscle function.
Potassium
An electrolyte needed for normal nerve signals, muscle contraction and heart function.
Chloride
Amount of chloride, one of the blood's major electrolytes, measured in serum or plasma.
Total Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
A blood chemistry result used to estimate bicarbonate when assessing the body's acid-base balance.
Uric Acid
A waste product from purine breakdown, assessed in gout and kidney-related testing.
Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1)
A circulating growth factor used as an indicator of growth-hormone activity.
Free Thyroxine Index (FTI)Calc
An indirect estimate of free T4 calculated from total T4 and a hormone-binding measurement.
Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
A pituitary hormone that signals the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones.
Total T4 (Total Thyroxine)
The total amount of T4 thyroid hormone in blood, including both protein-bound and free portions.
Ferritin
An iron-storage protein whose blood level generally reflects the body's iron stores.
Folate (Vitamin B9)
Vitamin B9, needed for making DNA, cell division and red blood cell production.
Serum
Iron
Iron circulating in blood at collection, mostly attached to the transport protein transferrin.
Total Iron-Binding Capacity (TIBC)
Estimated capacity of the blood's transferrin protein to bind and carry iron.
Vitamin B12
A vitamin needed for red blood cell formation, nervous-system function and DNA production.
Total Calcium
All calcium circulating in blood, including calcium attached to proteins and free calcium.
Homocysteine
An amino-acid intermediate affected by B vitamins, genetics, kidney function and other factors.
Phosphorus (Phosphate)
Amount of inorganic phosphate circulating in blood, rather than dietary intake or total body phosphorus.
Vitamin D (25-hydroxy)
The main circulating form of vitamin D, reflecting vitamin D from sunlight, food and supplements.
Concentration
C-Reactive Protein (CRP)
A liver-made protein that rises in response to inflammation, measured with conventional or high-sensitivity assays.
High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP)
Total Bilirubin
The combined direct and indirect forms of bilirubin, a waste product from red-cell breakdown.
Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP)
An enzyme found especially in the liver, bile ducts and bones.
Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST)
An enzyme in the liver, muscles and other tissues that can enter blood when cells are damaged.
Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT)
A liver-cell enzyme that can enter the blood when those cells are damaged.
Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN)
Nitrogen from urea in blood, a waste product formed when the body breaks down protein.
Creatinine
A waste product from normal muscle activity that the kidneys mainly remove from blood.
BUN/Creatinine RatioCalc
A calculated comparison of blood urea nitrogen with creatinine from the same collection.
Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR)Calc
An estimate of kidney filtration calculated from blood markers such as creatinine or cystatin C.
Cystatin C
A blood marker used to estimate how well the kidneys filter blood.
Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR)Calc
An estimate of kidney filtration calculated from blood markers such as creatinine or cystatin C.
CBC with differential and platelet count
Percentage · Absolute count
Reticulocyte Count
The number or percentage of young red blood cells, used to assess red blood cell production.
Albumin
A liver-made blood protein that helps retain fluid and transport other substances.
Total Protein
The combined concentration of albumin and globulins, the main groups of blood proteins.
Albumin
A liver-made blood protein that helps retain fluid and transport other substances.
GlobulinCalc
Calculated amount of non-albumin blood proteins, found by subtracting albumin from total protein.
Albumin/Globulin Ratio (A/G)Calc
A calculated comparison of albumin with globulins, two groups of proteins in the blood.

Before you buy
- Laboratory preparation
- Patient fasting is not required; however, in conditions where triglyceride values provide a prior diagnostic information, such as screening for familial hypercholesterolemia or early onset heart disease, pancreatitis, or confirming hypertriglyceridemia, the patient should be counseled to fast eight to 12 hours prior to blood draw.
