Glucose

Measures the amount of sugar in your blood. This value helps assess how your body processes energy and can signal changes worth discussing with a clinician.

Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN)

Reflects how well your kidneys filter waste from your blood. Levels outside the typical range may prompt further evaluation of kidney health.

Creatinine

A waste product from normal muscle activity that your kidneys filter out. This marker is commonly used alongside BUN to evaluate kidney function.

Sodium

An electrolyte that helps regulate fluid balance and supports nerve and muscle function. Abnormal levels can affect hydration and overall well-being.

Potassium

An essential electrolyte involved in heart rhythm, muscle contractions, and nerve signals. Both high and low levels can be clinically significant.

Chloride

Works closely with sodium and potassium to maintain fluid balance and proper acid-base levels in the body.

Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

Measures bicarbonate in the blood, which helps your body maintain a healthy acid-base balance. Changes may reflect respiratory or metabolic shifts.

Calcium

Important for bone health, muscle function, and nerve signaling. This test measures the total calcium level circulating in your blood.
