This panel is for women who are ready for their follow-up HRT lab panel and also want a comprehensive heart wellness check.
What is this test?
The Heart Health + Follow-Up HRT Panel for Women includes standard follow-up HRT tests to check the progress of your HRT protocol. This collection of tests helps you and your provider evaluate your response to hormone restoration and make necessary adjustments so that your hormone levels – which include Estrogen, Progesterone, and Testosterone – are optimized. These tests also track other important health markers to evaluate your overall health and wellness, and to make recommendations where appropriate.
Follow-up HRT tests include:
- CBC
- CMP-14
- Lipid Panel
- Testosterone Free and Total
- Estradiol
- DHEA-Sulfate
- TSH
- Progesterone
The Heart Health portion of this panel is designed to give an in-depth look at cardiovascular health, as well as provide insight into potential risk factors and vulnerability to heart disease. These tests measure important health markers like LDL and HDL cholesterol, C-reactive protein (CRP), homocysteine plasma, Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1), and others.

- NMR LipoProfile® with Insulin Resistance Markers
