Tests Included in the Male Primary Care Panel:

Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) - 

A Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) is a blood test that assesses various aspects of a person's health and metabolism. It measures electrolyte levels, kidney function, liver function, blood sugar levels, and protein levels. By analyzing the results, healthcare professionals can identify imbalances or abnormalities in the body's metabolic processes, aiding in the diagnosis and monitoring of conditions such as diabetes, liver disease, kidney dysfunction, electrolyte imbalances, and nutritional deficiencies. The CMP provides a comprehensive snapshot of a person's overall health and guides further medical evaluation and treatment.

Lipid Panel:

High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hsCRP):

The High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hsCRP) blood test measures the levels of C-reactive protein, a marker of inflammation in the body. It helps identify systemic inflammation and is used to assess the risk of cardiovascular disease. Elevated hsCRP levels are associated with an increased risk of heart disease and can guide preventive measures and treatment decisions. However, the test should be interpreted alongside other clinical information and is not specific to a particular disease.

Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH):

The Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) test is a blood test used to evaluate the functioning of the thyroid gland. TSH is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that stimulates the thyroid to produce thyroid hormones. The TSH test measures the level of TSH in the blood to assess thyroid function. It is primarily used to diagnose and monitor thyroid disorders, such as hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) and hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid). An abnormal TSH level can indicate an imbalance in thyroid hormone production, which can affect metabolism, energy levels, and various bodily functions.

Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA):

The Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) test is a blood test used to measure the levels of PSA, a protein produced by the prostate gland, in the blood. The PSA test is primarily employed as a screening tool for prostate cancer, as elevated PSA levels can indicate the presence of prostate abnormalities.

Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c):

The Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) test is a blood test that measures the average blood sugar levels over a period of approximately three months. It provides a valuable indicator of long-term blood sugar control, particularly for individuals with diabetes. The test measures the percentage of hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells, that is coated with sugar molecules. Higher levels of HbA1c indicate poorer blood sugar control, which can be a sign of unmanaged or poorly managed diabetes. The HbA1c test is commonly used to diagnose diabetes, monitor blood sugar levels over time, and evaluate the effectiveness of diabetes treatment plans. It is an essential tool in helping individuals with diabetes and healthcare providers assess and manage the condition effectively.

Cortisol Test:

The Cortisol Test is a diagnostic blood test used to measure the levels of cortisol, a hormone produced by the adrenal glands. Cortisol plays a crucial role in regulating various bodily functions, including metabolism, stress response, immune system function, and blood pressure. The test is typically performed to evaluate adrenal gland function and diagnose conditions related to cortisol imbalance, such as Cushing's syndrome or Addison's disease. It can also help assess the body's response to stress and monitor the effectiveness of treatment for certain hormonal disorders.

Total Testosterone:

Total testosterone is a blood test used to measure the overall amount of testosterone circulating in the bloodstream. Testosterone is a hormone primarily produced in the testicles (in males) and ovaries (in females) but is present in both sexes. It plays a crucial role in various bodily functions, including the development of sexual characteristics, muscle mass, bone density, and mood regulation. The total testosterone test helps assess testosterone levels and can be used to diagnose conditions such as hypogonadism (low testosterone) or monitor testosterone replacement therapy.

Vitamin D Test:

The Vitamin D test is a blood test that measures the levels of vitamin D in the body. Vitamin D is an essential nutrient that plays a crucial role in maintaining bone health, supporting the immune system, and aiding in the absorption of calcium. Low levels of vitamin D can be indicative of a deficiency, which is associated with various health problems, including weak bones, increased susceptibility to infections, and musculoskeletal disorders. The Vitamin D test is used to diagnose vitamin D deficiencies or to monitor the effectiveness of vitamin D supplementation. It helps healthcare professionals assess an individual's vitamin D status and guide appropriate treatment or lifestyle adjustments to maintain optimal levels for overall health and well-being.
