What this test measures
This panel brings together six blood tests chosen to address health priorities that disproportionately affect women, covering blood cell health, organ function, cardiovascular risk, thyroid regulation, iron storage, and vitamin D status in a single draw.
The Complete Blood Count (CBC) evaluates red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, screening for anemia, infection, and blood disorders. The Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) assesses kidney and liver performance, blood sugar control, and electrolyte balance across 14 measurements. The Lipid Panel reports cholesterol and triglyceride levels to gauge cardiovascular risk. The TSH test measures thyroid-stimulating hormone, a key regulator of metabolism, energy, and broader hormonal balance. The Iron/Ferritin component quantifies stored iron, which is particularly relevant for women of reproductive age who lose iron through menstruation. The Vitamin D test rounds out the panel by assessing a nutrient that supports bone density, immune function, and overall well-being.
What's included
Who should consider this test
You might consider this test if you are experiencing any of the following:
- Women seeking comprehensive health screening as part of routine wellness care
- Individuals experiencing fatigue, weakness, or unexplained changes in energy levels
- Those with family history of heart disease, diabetes, thyroid disorders, or anemia
- Women with irregular menstrual cycles or heavy periods that may affect iron levels
- Individuals wanting to monitor cholesterol levels and cardiovascular health
- Those concerned about bone health or limited sun exposure affecting vitamin D levels
What to expect
Preparation
Fasting for 8-12 hours before the test is typically recommended for accurate cholesterol and glucose measurements. Only water is permitted during the fasting period. No other special preparation is required for the remaining tests in the panel.
Sample Type
Blood sample collected through a standard blood draw from a vein in the arm
Collection
A healthcare professional will draw blood using a small needle inserted into a vein in your arm. The blood is collected into test tubes and sent to the laboratory for analysis.
Turnaround
Results are typically available within 1-2 business days and can be accessed through a secure online portal, with no doctor visit required
Understanding your results
Each test within the panel carries its own reference range, and those ranges may differ modestly from one laboratory to another depending on equipment and methodology. Results are most useful when evaluated as a group, since a finding in one area (such as low ferritin) can influence the interpretation of another (such as CBC markers suggesting anemia). An out-of-range value does not automatically signal disease; diet, medications, menstrual timing, and temporary conditions can all shift results. Healthcare providers weigh these factors alongside symptoms and medical history before drawing conclusions.
| Population | Reference Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Adult Women | CBC: Hemoglobin 12.0-15.3 g/dL, Hematocrit 35.9-44.6% | Based on Cleveland Clinic and WHO guidelines for healthy adult women |
| Adults | CMP: Glucose 70-99 mg/dL (fasting), Creatinine 0.6-1.3 mg/dL | Normal metabolic function indicators |
| Adults | Lipid Panel: Total Cholesterol <200 mg/dL, HDL >50 mg/dL (women) | Cardiovascular health assessment ranges |
| Adults | TSH: 0.4-4.0 mIU/L | Normal thyroid function range |
| Adult Women | Ferritin: 15-200 ng/mL | Iron storage assessment for women |
| Adults | Vitamin D: 30-50 ng/mL (optimal range) | Many experts recommend this range for optimal health |
Reference ranges shown are general guidelines. Your lab report will include the specific reference range used by the laboratory that processed your sample, which is the authoritative range for interpreting your results.
What does a “Low” result mean?
Low results may suggest different health concerns depending on the affected test. Low blood counts often indicate anemia or other blood disorders, while low metabolic markers might suggest malnutrition or specific organ dysfunction. Low HDL cholesterol may increase heart disease risk, and low TSH typically indicates an overactive thyroid. Low ferritin suggests iron deficiency, which is particularly common in women, while low vitamin D levels may affect bone health and immune function.
What does a “High” result mean?
Elevated results may indicate various conditions depending on which specific test shows abnormal values. High blood counts might suggest infection or blood disorders, while elevated metabolic panel markers could indicate kidney or liver dysfunction, or diabetes. High cholesterol levels may increase cardiovascular risk, while high TSH typically indicates an underactive thyroid. Elevated ferritin can occur with inflammation or iron overload, and high vitamin D levels are usually from excessive supplementation.
Privacy & confidentiality
All test orders are authorized and results reviewed by an independent, board-certified physician who is not the patient's personal doctor. Your women's health panel results are completely confidential and <u>not reported to your doctor</u> unless you choose to share them. The results are <u>not part of your medical records</u> and will <u>not appear on insurance statements</u> or explanation of benefits. This means your employer, insurance company, or anyone else cannot access your test results without your explicit consent. Your health information remains private and secure, giving you complete control over who sees your results. The testing is conducted through CLIA-certified laboratories that maintain the highest standards for accuracy and confidentiality. You can access your results through a secure online portal, and no doctor visit is required to obtain this comprehensive health screening.
