When preparing for the basic health panel tests, you don’t need to set aside a big chunk of your day. We understand that you have a busy schedule. That’s why ensure the process only lasts a few minutes.

What Does the Basic Health Panel Include?

The basic health panel involves three tests to screen for common health conditions. These are the:

Why Get the Basic Health Panel

The basic health panel aims to help you assess your risk of developing certain diseases. These tests can also monitor your current health status or check for side effects from medications.

If you’re feeling healthy and have no reason to believe that you might be at risk for any diseases, you might still want to get the basic health panel. This is because some conditions, such as high cholesterol, often have no symptoms. 

So, getting screened can help you catch these conditions early and take steps to prevent them from progressing.

When to Get the Basic Health Panel

There’s no wrong time to get the basic health panel. However, you might want to consider getting it done every one to two years. This way, you can keep track of your health and make sure that any changes are due to normal aging and not something more serious.

If you have a family history of certain diseases or other risk factors, you might need to get the basic health panel more often. Your doctor can help you determine how often you should get tested.

Basic Health Panel Vs. Comprehensive Health Panel

As mentioned, the basic health panel screens for common health conditions. It includes three tests: the CMP, CBC, and lipid panel. However, you might want a more comprehensive screening. 

In this case, you can get a comprehensive health panel. This panel includes all of the tests in the basic health panel, plus additional tests to screen for other conditions, such as:

  • Diabetes
  • Thyroid problems
  • Anemia
  • Vitamin deficiencies
  • Infectious diseases
  • HIV

The comprehensive health panel is a more extensive screen and can give you a clearer picture of your health. However, it’s not necessarily better, and it’s important to remember that no test is perfect. 

So, even if your results come back normal, it’s still important to see your doctor for regular check-ups.
