Not for emergencies. Call 911 now for chest pain, trouble breathing, fainting or stroke signs. Sometimes you should be seen first. If you have new or worrying symptoms, book a visit before you order tests.
What this panel can show signs of
A result outside the range is a reason to look closer, not a diagnosis. A Passion Health clinician reviews every result and tells you what it means.
An A1c of 5.7% to 6.4% points to prediabetes; 6.5% or higher, confirmed, means diabetes.
Prediabetes care online →LDL, HDL, triglycerides and non-HDL, the numbers behind your heart-risk plan.
High cholesterol care online →A low eGFR shows your kidneys filter less well; a repeat test after three months confirms kidney disease. A urine albumin test finds damage even while eGFR is normal.
Kidney function test guide →Liver enzymes, platelets and age give a FIB-4 score for liver scarring; 1.3 or higher points to a liver stiffness scan. Blood tests can't confirm or rule out fatty liver itself.
Fatty liver care online →Not in this panel: ferritin (iron stores), thyroid tests, urine albumin, ApoB or Lp(a). See Full Blood Work, $149, Energy & Iron, $119 or Diabetes & Kidney, $69.
33 results, counted once
The yearly essentials: blood count, kidney and liver function, cholesterol and blood sugar. Calculated scores come with the tests they depend on and are listed separately.
Red cells, white cells (five types) and platelets.
Glucose, kidney, liver, electrolytes and calcium. eGFR and FIB-4 are calculated.
Total cholesterol, HDL, triglycerides and LDL. Non-HDL is calculated.
Three-month blood sugar average.

From order to results
Order online
Add a panel or single tests, pay, and a Texas-licensed clinician reviews and signs the order.

Most results in 1 to 3 business days. A clinician calls the same day about anything critical and sets your next steps.
Do I need to fast?
Fast for 8 to 12 hours before your draw (water is fine, and take your usual medicines unless your clinician says otherwise). This panel includes tests that read best fasting.
Results and follow-up

Questions about this panel
Will I talk to a real clinician?
Yes. A Texas-licensed physician, nurse practitioner or physician assistant reviews every order and result. Visits happen by video or in person. Texas law holds video care to the same standard as an in-person visit (Texas Occupations Code §111.007).
Is Lp(a) a one-time test?
For most adults, yes. The 2026 ACC/AHA guideline recommends measuring Lp(a) at least once in every adult. It is mostly inherited and stays fairly stable, so one test is usually enough unless your clinician has a reason to repeat it.
How long do blood work results take?
Most routine results are back within 1 to 3 business days after your draw; a few specialty tests take up to a week. We message you when results are ready, and a clinician calls you the same day about any critical result.
Why don't you test 100+ biomarkers?
Big counts often include repeats, calculated ratios and markers that rarely change care. Our library shows every marker we offer, marks calculated scores separately, and explains the evidence for each.
What happens if a result is abnormal?
A clinician reviews it. Critical results get a phone call the same day. Other abnormal results are explained with a plan and a recheck date.
