What is it
Weight Loss Basic is a basic checkup panel positioned within the performance category. It brings several relevant markers together for review as a group, providing a broader reference point than considering any single result in isolation.
What's included
This panel brings together four markers that cover glucose-related and hormone-related measures. Fasting Glucose and Glycated Hemoglobin are included together to provide complementary glucose-focused measurements, while Thyroid Stimulating Hormone and Cortisol (Morning) add hormone markers to the overall picture.
The markers use two sample types. Fasting Glucose, Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, and Cortisol (Morning) are measured from serum, while Glycated Hemoglobin is measured from whole blood. Their reported units are mg/dL, %, mIU/L, and μg/dL, respectively.
How to prepare
Fasting is required before this checkup. Plan the collection in line with the testing provider’s fasting instructions and confirm any timing requirements before arriving.
If you have a medical condition or questions about how fasting applies to you, consult a clinician or the testing provider before the checkup. Do not make changes to treatment solely to prepare for testing.
