Complete Blood Count (CBC)

If you're feeling unusually tired, weak, or pale, your provider may recommend this panel to check for anemia. It looks at your red blood cell counts (CBC) along with iron, vitamin B12, and folate levels, the nutrients your body needs to make healthy red blood cells and the most common causes of anemia when they run low.

An annual check-up panel that screens for some of the most common health concerns in one visit: heart disease risk, blood sugar control, thyroid function, kidney and liver health, and vitamin D levels, so you and your provider can catch potential issues early, often before symptoms appear.

This basic panel checks eight key markers, including glucose, electrolytes, and kidney function, to give a broad snapshot of your overall health. It's often ordered to screen for or monitor conditions like diabetes, dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and kidney disease, or before starting a medication that could affect kidney function.
