This test measures Low-density lipoproteins (LDL), High-density lipoprotein (HDL), Triglycerides, and Total Cholesterol. High levels of LDL, so called “bad cholesterol” is associated with plaque build up and atherosclerosis predisposing to future heart attacks and stroke.

A comprehensive Health Panel is a good assessment of the function of key vital organs of the body. We recommend this test to individuals who have not had any initial blood work done as part of a routine health assessment as it provides an overall risk assessment of
1. Renal function
2. Liver function
3. Assist in Cardiovascular risk assessment with a lipid panel
4. Screen for Thyroid disorders
5. Screen for Diabetes.
Individuals who previously have been screened for some of the above disorders do not need a comprehensive panel. In Such individuals we recommend a routine General health panel.
