Full write-up
What is it
Athletic Basic is a basic checkup organized for a performance-focused context. It brings several relevant measurements together so they can be considered as a group rather than in isolation, providing a concise overview of the markers included in this panel.
What's included
This panel brings together five measurements across two specimen types. Hemoglobin is assessed from whole blood, while Ferritin, Vitamin D (25-OH), Creatinine, and Creatine Kinase are assessed from serum.
The specimen split is part of how the panel is organized: one marker is measured directly in a whole-blood sample, and the other four are measured in the liquid portion of blood. Viewing these markers together creates a broader laboratory picture than any single measurement alone, while keeping each result tied to the sample type and reporting unit used for that marker.
The panel therefore combines Hemoglobin with serum measurements of Ferritin, Vitamin D (25-OH), Creatinine, and Creatine Kinase in one assessment.
How to prepare
No fasting is required before this checkup. Follow any separate instructions provided by the clinician or testing site for collecting the sample.
