Weight Management Lab Panel LabCorp
This panel helps evaluate the health of patients who want to lose fat and attain or maintain a healthy body composition.
What is this test?
The Weight Management Panel is designed to evaluate your health and guide the creation of an individualized weight management program for you. This type of plan typically includes strategies to lose fat, increase muscle mass, and improve body composition, which can benefit overall health in many ways. Defy Medical patients have access to prescription medications and supplements that can support these goals (as appropriate for the patient) in addition to a healthy diet and exercise plan.
The tests include:
- Complete Blood Count (CBC) Panel – This panel is commonly ordered for routine check-ups. It measures important health markers like red blood cell count, white blood cell count, platelet levels, hemoglobin, and hematocrit.
- Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP-14) – This panel includes 14 tests which are crucial to understanding your overall metabolic health. Metabolic issues can affect body composition and cause fat gain. This test can also identify kidney function, liver function, electrolyte, and fluid balance.
- Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) – This test examines thyroid function to identify the potential for thyroid disease. Issues with the thyroid can cause weight and fat gain, changes in body composition, difficult losing weight, and other symptoms that can make managing your weight difficult.
Who is this test for?
This test is for anyone who is interested in a physician-guided Weight Management program. If you’ve experienced weight gain, difficulty losing weight, and/or a harder time building muscle, this program may help you effectively reach your goals.
