A full lab panel is a set of blood tests that gives a broad look at your health. It can help screen for common problems like anemia, diabetes, high cholesterol and kidney or liver issues. At Urgent Care Center of Westmont in Westmont, IL, also known as Immediate Care Center of Westmont, lab testing is available, and our team can help you choose tests that match your age, history and concerns.
Lab results are one part of the picture. Our team, led by board-certified physicians, will explain what each test measures and what your results may mean for your next steps.
Key facts
Fasting usually means no food or drink except water, for several hours or overnight (MedlinePlus).
Reference ranges differ by lab, so compare results only to the range on your own report.
Healthy people sometimes have results just outside the range, and your clinician reads them in context.
Food, alcohol, hard exercise, medicines and supplements can all change some lab results.
What a full lab panel may include
The exact tests depend on your needs. A full panel may include:
Complete blood count (CBC): red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, hemoglobin and hematocrit. It can help find anemia, infection and some blood disorders.
Comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP): 14 measurements, including glucose, sodium, potassium, calcium, protein, and markers of kidney and liver function.
Lipid panel: total cholesterol, LDL, HDL and triglycerides, which help estimate heart disease risk.
Hemoglobin A1C: your average blood sugar over the past two to three months, used to screen for prediabetes and diabetes.
Thyroid tests: such as TSH, to check for an overactive or underactive thyroid.
Urinalysis: a urine test that can help check for infection and kidney problems.
How lab testing works at our Westmont, IL clinic
The provider will review your health history, medicines and any symptoms, then recommend which tests to order. Blood is drawn from a vein in your arm. Urine tests use a small cup sample.
Preparing for your tests
Some tests, such as a lipid panel or metabolic panel, may require fasting. MedlinePlus notes that fasting for a cholesterol test can be 9 to 12 hours
A CBC and an A1C test usually do not need fasting
Keep taking your medicines unless your doctor says otherwise, and bring a list of them
Drink water before a blood draw unless told not to
How often to check
MedlinePlus says most adults ages 20 to 65 should have cholesterol checked every 5 years, with men 45 to 65 and women 55 to 65 checked every 1 to 2 years, and adults over 65 checked yearly. People with risk factors may need testing more often. Your provider can help you decide.

Walk in or check in online at our Westmont, IL clinic. No outside order is needed.
Often, yes, if the panel includes a lipid or metabolic panel. Call ahead or ask when you check in so you can prepare.
What is the difference between a CBC and a CMP?
A CBC looks at your blood cells. A CMP measures chemicals in your blood, such as glucose, electrolytes and markers of kidney and liver health.
Do I need a doctor's order for lab work?
No outside order is needed. You can walk in or check in online and discuss testing with our provider.
Will insurance cover my lab tests?
Coverage depends on your plan and the reason for testing. Call your insurer or us to confirm, and see our insurance information .
Can I drink coffee before fasting blood work?
It is safer to skip it. MedlinePlus says fasting generally means no food or drink except water. Coffee, even black, can affect some results, so most people are told to stick with water until after the draw. Ask us if you are unsure about your tests.
What is the difference between a BMP and a CMP?
A basic metabolic panel (BMP) checks blood sugar, electrolytes such as sodium and potassium, and kidney function. A comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) includes those plus protein and liver tests, for 14 measurements in all. Your clinician picks the one that fits your needs.
Does a full lab panel include STD tests?
Not usually. A routine panel focuses on blood counts, chemistry, cholesterol and blood sugar. Tests for chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV or hepatitis are ordered separately. Ask for them if you want them, privately, during the same visit. See STD testing.
Why do I need to tell you about vitamins and supplements?
MedlinePlus notes that medicines, vitamins and supplements can change some lab results. Bring a list of everything you take, including over-the-counter products, so your clinician can read your results correctly. Don't stop any medicine unless you are told to.
