The Baseline Biomarkers - Basic Plus panel contains 13 tests with 78 biomarkers.
Brief Description: The Baseline Biomarkers - Basic Plus panel is a more comprehensive set of tests compared to the Basic panel. It encompasses fundamental health metrics and integrates additional tests that delve into liver function, blood sugar levels, iron metabolism, and more. This panel provides a broader perspective on an individual's health, allowing for a more detailed analysis of potential imbalances or issues.
Collection Method: Blood Draw
Specimen Type: Whole Blood and Serum
Test Preparation: Patient should be fasting 9-12 hours prior to collection
TSH: Specimen collection after fluorescein dye angiography should be delayed for at least 3 days. For patients on hemodialysis, specimen collection should be delayed for 2 weeks.
According to the assay manufacturer Siemens: "Samples containing fluorescein can produce falsely depressed values when tested with the Advia Centaur TSH3 Ultra assay."
When and Why the Baseline Biomarkers - Basic Plus Panel May Be Ordered
Healthcare professionals often order the Basic Plus panel for individuals who might be at risk of conditions not fully covered by the Basic panel. It can be especially useful for those with a family history of liver diseases, diabetes, gout, or iron-related disorders. It's also beneficial for those exhibiting symptoms like fatigue, joint pain, or digestive issues that might not be diagnosed through the Basic panel alone.
What the Baseline Biomarkers - Basic Plus Panel Checks For
Bilirubin, Fractionated: Measures both direct and indirect bilirubin, providing insight into liver health and potential hemolytic diseases.
CBC with Differential and Platelets: As before, this provides a general overview of blood health, looking at red and white blood cells and platelets.
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel: A detailed look into the body's chemical balance, evaluating organ functions and metabolic processes.
Ferritin: This measures the body's stored iron. Low levels can indicate iron deficiency anemia, while high levels might suggest iron overload.
Gamma Glutamyl Transferase (GGT): An enzyme that can indicate liver damage or disease.
Hemoglobin A1c: Provides an average blood sugar level over the past two to three months, commonly used to diagnose and monitor diabetes.
Iron and Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC): Evaluates the body's iron balance and its ability to transport iron.
Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH): An enzyme found throughout the body, elevated levels can suggest tissue damage or disease.
Lipid Panel with Ratios: Assesses heart disease risk by evaluating cholesterol levels.
Magnesium Serum: Evaluates magnesium levels, which play a role in many bodily functions including muscle actions and protein synthesis.
Phosphate: Important for bone health, kidney function, and cellular processes.
TSH: As in the Basic panel, evaluates thyroid function.
Uric Acid: Measures the amount of uric acid in the blood. Elevated levels can indicate gout or certain types of kidney diseases.
From Basic Plus to Advanced and Comprehensive Panels
The Baseline Biomarkers - Basic Plus panel offers an in-depth snapshot of an individual's health. But to dive even deeper, our Advanced and Comprehensive panels provide even more detailed insights.
Baseline Biomarkers - Advanced Panel: This panel encompasses everything in the Basic Plus and incorporates high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-crp) for inflammation, a wider range of thyroid tests, Vitamin D levels for bone and immune health, and a complete urinalysis for kidney and urinary health. This panel offers an extensive understanding, especially for those with thyroid concerns or those needing insights beyond blood metrics.
Baseline Biomarkers - Comprehensive Panel: This is the gold standard. Including everything from the Advanced panel, the Comprehensive panel adds tests like Fibrinogen Activity Clauss for clotting function and specific thyroid antibodies for autoimmune thyroid disorders. It's designed for those seeking the most thorough health evaluation.
Conditions or Diseases the Baseline Biomarkers - Basic Plus Panel Checks For
The Basic Plus panel can aid in diagnosing:
- Liver conditions such as hepatitis or liver cirrhosis through tests like GGT and Bilirubin.
- Diabetes or pre-diabetes through Hemoglobin A1c.
- Iron-deficiency anemia or hemochromatosis via Ferritin and Iron/TIBC.
- Muscle or liver damage, indicated by elevated LDH levels.
- Potential risks of heart diseases through the lipid panel.
- Gout or kidney disorders via Uric Acid.
How Healthcare Professionals Use the Results
The results from the Basic Plus panel give healthcare professionals a broader scope to pinpoint potential health issues. They might, for instance, recommend lifestyle changes or medications based on cholesterol or Hemoglobin A1c levels. If ferritin levels are off, they might suggest dietary changes or supplements. Elevated GGT or Bilirubin could lead to further liver tests or imaging.
The Baseline Biomarkers - Basic Plus panel serves as a robust tool in the comprehensive assessment of one's health. Incorporating a wide range of metrics, it offers insights that can prompt proactive steps towards optimal health, facilitating early interventions and promoting overall well-being.
We advise having your results reviewed by a licensed medical healthcare professional for proper interpretation of your results.
