The Ulta Wellness Biomarkers - Men's Health Panel 3 panel contains 17 tests with 115 biomarkers .
Brief Description: The Ulta Wellness Biomarkers - Men's Health Panel 3 is an advanced diagnostic tool designed to provide a comprehensive overview of a man's health, focusing on cardiovascular risk, metabolic function, liver and kidney health, blood sugar levels, vitamin D status, thyroid function, and overall wellbeing. This panel is an excellent choice for individuals seeking a thorough assessment to identify potential health risks and monitor existing conditions.
Collection Method: Blood Draw and Urine Collection
Specimen Type: Whole Blood, Serum, and Urine
Test Preparation: Patient should be fasting 12 hours prior to collection
TSH: Specimen collection after fluorescein dye angiography should be delayed for at least 3 days. For patients on hemodialysis, specimen collection should be delayed for 2 weeks.
According to the assay manufacturer Siemens: "Samples containing fluorescein can produce falsely depressed values when tested with the Advia Centaur TSH3 Ultra assay."
When and Why the Panel May Be Ordered
This panel may be ordered for men looking for a detailed health assessment beyond basic screenings, especially those with a family history of heart disease, diabetes, thyroid disorders, or for those experiencing symptoms like fatigue, weight changes, or metabolic disturbances. It's particularly useful for monitoring the progression or improvement of existing health conditions and for guiding lifestyle adjustments and treatments.
What the Panel Checks For
The Men's Health Panel 3 includes a variety of tests, each targeting specific health indicators:
- Apolipoprotein A1 and Apolipoprotein B: Evaluate the balance between "good" and "bad" cholesterol, offering insights into cardiovascular risk.
- C-Reactive Protein: A marker of inflammation that can indicate the presence of infections or chronic inflammatory conditions, which are risk factors for heart disease.
- Complete Blood Count with Differential and Platelets: Provides a comprehensive overview of blood health, detecting conditions like anemia, infection, and other hematological disorders.
- Comprehensive Metabolic Panel: Assesses metabolic function and checks the health of the liver, kidneys, and electrolyte and acid/base balance, as well as blood sugar levels.
- Gamma Glutamyl Transferase: Helps identify liver and bile duct disorders.
- Hemoglobin A1c: Indicates average blood sugar levels over the past two to three months, important for diabetes management.
- Iron Total and Total Iron Binding Capacity: Assess iron status and help diagnose conditions related to iron metabolism.
- Lactate Dehydrogenase: An enzyme that, when elevated, can indicate tissue damage.
- Lipid Panel with Ratios: Measures cholesterol levels to assess cardiovascular risk.
- Lipoprotein Fractionation Ion Mobility: Provides detailed information on the size and number of lipid particles, offering a more nuanced view of heart disease risk.
- PSA Total: Screens for prostate health, important for early detection of prostate issues.
- QuestAssureD 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Total with D2 and D3: Assesses vitamin D levels, crucial for bone health and immune function.
- T3 Uptake and T4 Total: Evaluate thyroid function, which affects metabolism, energy levels, and more.
- Thyroid Stimulating Hormone: A primary test for assessing thyroid function and disorders.
- Uric Acid: High levels can indicate gout or kidney disease.
- Urinalysis Complete: Provides a snapshot of kidney health and can detect conditions like urinary tract infections and diabetes.
Expand Your Health Insights with More Advanced Panels
The Men's Health Panel 3 offers a robust health assessment, but exploring more advanced panels can provide even deeper insights:
-
Men's Health Panel 4 introduces hormone-related tests such as DHEA Sulfate, Estradiol, Progesterone, and Testosterone Free and Total, offering a comprehensive look at hormonal health which is crucial for energy, mood, and libido.
-
Advancing to Men's Health Panel 5 adds Cortisol AM, Ferritin, Folate, Homocysteine, and Vitamin B12, enhancing the assessment of stress response, iron storage, nutritional status, and risk factors for cardiovascular diseases.
-
Men's Health Panel 6 includes Magnesium Serum, Myeloperoxidase Antibody, Omega-3 and -6 Fatty Acids, and Transferrin, offering a broader evaluation of cardiovascular health, immune response, and mineral balance.
-
Progressing to Men's Health Panel 7 introduces Direct LDL and proBNP N-Terminal, further refining the cardiovascular risk assessment and providing insights into heart health.
-
With Men's Health Panel 8, additional tests like Cystatin C and Vitamin K are included, expanding the evaluation to kidney function and bone health.
-
The most comprehensive, Men's Health Panel 9, incorporates cutting-edge tests like ApoE Genotype and Fecal Globin by Immunochemistry, offering unparalleled insights into cardiovascular and colorectal health.
Conditions and Diseases the Panel Can Detect
The Men's Health Panel 3 can detect a range of conditions and diseases:
- Cardiovascular Diseases: The panel's comprehensive lipid profile, apolipoproteins, and inflammatory markers can identify risks for heart disease and stroke.
- Diabetes and Prediabetes: Hemoglobin A1c levels can indicate blood sugar control over time, helping to diagnose and monitor diabetes.
- Thyroid Disorders: Tests for T3 Uptake, T4 Total, and Thyroid Stimulating Hormone can detect both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.
- Liver and Kidney Diseases: The Comprehensive Metabolic Panel, Gamma Glutamyl Transferase, and urinalysis can identify abnormalities in liver and kidney function.
- Vitamin D Deficiency: The QuestAssureD 25-Hydroxyvitamin D test can detect low vitamin D levels, which can impact bone health and immune function.
How a Provider Uses the Results of the Panel
Healthcare professionals use the results of the Men's Health Panel 3 in various ways:
- For cardiovascular diseases, the detailed lipid profile and inflammatory markers guide lifestyle recommendations, medications, or further testing.
- In diabetes management, the Hemoglobin A1c results can inform adjustments in medication, diet, and exercise plans.
- For thyroid disorders, abnormal thyroid test results may lead to further evaluations, medication adjustments, and monitoring strategies.
- In detecting liver or kidney disease, specific abnormalities may prompt further diagnostics, lifestyle changes, or targeted treatments.
- For vitamin D deficiency, supplementation and lifestyle modifications might be recommended to improve bone health and overall wellbeing.
The Ulta Wellness Biomarkers - Men's Health Panel 3 provides a comprehensive view of a man's health, identifying potential risks and monitoring existing conditions. This panel is an invaluable tool for those seeking to proactively manage their health, offering insights that can guide lifestyle modifications, treatments, and ongoing health strategies. Regular health screenings, like this panel, are key to maintaining optimal health and well-being, allowing for timely interventions and personalized healthcare.
