Common Lab Panels Explained
Our providers commonly order CBC (complete blood count), metabolic panel (CMP), lipid panels (cholesterol), thyroid function (TSH), HbA1c (diabetes screening), urinalysis, and eGFR (kidney function). Each panel serves a specific diagnostic purpose.
Learn MoreFasting Requirements
Some lab panels (like lipid profiles and glucose tests) require fasting for 8–12 hours before blood draw. The provider will specify fasting requirements for your particular order. Non-fasting labs can usually be done anytime.
Pre-Imaging Labs (eGFR)
If you're planning contrast-enhanced imaging (MRI with contrast or CT with contrast), you'll need recent kidney function (eGFR/creatinine) results. DOD can order these labs to prepare you for imaging.

Most lab results are available within 24–48 hours after your blood draw. Some specialized tests may take longer. Discuss results with your primary care doctor or a specialist to understand next steps.
