A focused metabolic health screen covering seven core areas: liver function (total protein, albumin, ALP, bilirubin, GGT, AST, ALT), kidney function (sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate, urea, creatinine, eGFR), creatine kinase for muscle health, a full lipid panel (total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, non-HDL, triglycerides, ratios), fasting glucose, magnesium, and high-sensitivity CRP as an inflammation marker. A solid baseline for anyone wanting to check their metabolic health without a GP referral.
iMEDICAL's Comprehensive Metabolic Panel provides a snapshot of your body's core systems in a single blood draw. The liver function tests reveal how well your liver is processing toxins, producing proteins, and managing bile — elevated ALT or GGT can be early warning signs of fatty liver disease or alcohol-related damage. Kidney function markers assess filtration rate and electrolyte balance, critical for detecting early renal decline especially in those with diabetes or hypertension risk factors. The lipid panel goes beyond basic cholesterol to include HDL/LDL ratio and non-HDL cholesterol, which research increasingly identifies as a stronger predictor of cardiovascular risk than total cholesterol alone. Creatine kinase provides insight into muscle damage — useful for athletes or anyone on statin medications. High-sensitivity CRP measures systemic inflammation, a key longevity biomarker linked to cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, and accelerated ageing. No GP referral required. Order online, visit any of 1,000+ NATA-accredited collection centres Australia-wide, and receive results typically within 24-48 hours. All abnormal findings are reviewed by an AHPRA-registered doctor before release.

Panel Categories
Biomarkers Tested
10The most abundant protein in blood, produced by the liver. Albumin maintains blood volume and pressure, and transports hormones, vitamins, and drugs. Low levels indicate liver disease, kidney disease, malnutrition, or chronic inflammation.
A key component of the body's acid-base buffering system. Bicarbonate levels reflect the balance between acids and bases in the blood. Abnormal values help diagnose metabolic acidosis or alkalosis.
The most abundant mineral in the body, essential for bone health, muscle contraction, nerve function, and blood clotting. Blood calcium is tightly regulated by parathyroid hormone and vitamin D. Abnormal levels can indicate parathyroid disorders.
An electrolyte that works with sodium to maintain fluid balance, blood pressure, and acid-base balance. Chloride abnormalities often accompany sodium abnormalities and can indicate dehydration, kidney disease, or metabolic disorders.
A waste product from normal muscle metabolism, filtered by the kidneys. Blood creatinine levels reflect kidney filtration capacity. Elevated levels may indicate impaired kidney function, dehydration, or excessive muscle breakdown.
Blood sugar — the body's primary energy source. Fasting glucose screens for diabetes and prediabetes. Chronically elevated glucose damages blood vessels and organs. Levels fluctuate with meals, stress, and physical activity.
A critical electrolyte for heart rhythm, muscle contractions, and nerve function. Both high and low potassium can cause dangerous cardiac arrhythmias. Levels are influenced by kidney function, medications, and diet.
The primary electrolyte regulating fluid balance and blood pressure. Sodium is essential for nerve impulses and muscle contractions. Abnormal levels can cause confusion, seizures, and cardiac arrhythmias.
Measures the combined amount of albumin and globulin proteins in your blood. These proteins are essential for fighting infections, blood clotting, and transporting substances throughout the body.
