NOTE: Ulta Lab Tests provides CBC test results from Quest Diagnostics as they are reported. Often, different biomarker results are made available at different time intervals. When reporting the results, Ulta Lab Tests denotes those biomarkers not yet reported as 'pending' for every biomarker the test might report. Only biomarkers Quest Diagnostics observes are incorporated and represented in the final CBC test results provided by Ulta Lab Tests.

The Post-COVID-19 Expanded Test Panel panel contains 10 tests with 91 biomarkers .
The Post-COVID-19 Expanded Test Panel is a specialized set of laboratory tests designed to evaluate various physiological parameters that might be affected by COVID-19, even after recovery.
Although the acute phase of the infection may be resolved, some individuals experience lingering symptoms and health complications, collectively referred to as post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC). This panel assesses a range of organ functions and inflammatory markers to help healthcare providers better understand the patient's current health status and to guide ongoing care.
Details of the Test
- Complete Blood Count (CBC): Measures different components of the blood to evaluate overall health and detect disorders like anemia or infection.
- C-Reactive Protein (CRP): An inflammation marker that can indicate systemic inflammation.
- Ferritin: Indicates iron storage in the body and can be elevated in inflammatory conditions.
- Thyroid Function Test & Free T4: Evaluates thyroid hormone levels, essential for metabolic function.
- Vitamin B12 & Vitamin D Tests: Assesses levels of these vital nutrients that might be affected post-illness.
- Urinalysis: Checks kidney function and looks for signs of kidney-related issues.
- Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP): Measures glucose, calcium, and electrolytes, reflecting kidney and heart functions.
- Hepatic Function Panel: Assesses liver function, which can be affected in post-viral syndromes.
Purpose of the Test
The Post-COVID-19 Expanded Test Panel is essential for several reasons:
- Understanding Lingering Effects: This panel helps in understanding the chronic effects COVID-19 might have had on various organs and systems in the body.
- Guiding Treatment and Rehabilitation: The test results can guide healthcare providers in tailoring a treatment and rehabilitation plan specific to the patient's needs.
- Monitoring Inflammatory Status: With markers like CRP and Ferritin, the panel can track underlying inflammation, which might be contributing to ongoing symptoms.
- Nutritional Assessment: By measuring vitamins and minerals, healthcare providers can address nutritional deficiencies that may have arisen post-COVID.
- Early Detection of Complications: The panel may help in early detection of organ dysfunction, enabling timely intervention.
- Personalized Care Planning: The results of this comprehensive panel provide insights for a more personalized approach to ongoing care, based on the unique health challenges faced by each post-COVID patient.
Conclusion
The Post-COVID-19 Expanded Test Panel is not a diagnostic test for COVID-19 itself but a critical tool in managing the long-term health of those who have recovered from the virus.
By evaluating a broad spectrum of physiological parameters, this panel provides valuable insights into how the body has responded to the infection and what ongoing care might be required.
As understanding of post-COVID conditions continues to evolve, this panel represents a dynamic approach to care that aligns with the multifaceted nature of the virus's impact on the body.
