A comprehensive blood chemistry panel allows the health provider to assess the degree of health or disease in a patient.

Dr. Hansen has made available a comprehensive evaluation of her patient's blood chemistries, as a means of early detection and/or management of physiological function and/or disease. A routine panel can screen for: blood sugar, lipid, renal, hepatic, biliary, cardiovascular, immune, and hematological disorders and risk.

Functional blood analysis views a "healthy" individual as one, not only free of disease, but also having adequate energy levels, healthy digestion, ideal physiological function, etc. As opposed to laboratory "normals", which view "health" as the absence of disease.

Blood chemistry analysis is basically about identifying patterns that may distinguish probabilities of specific problems in the patient. Early detection embraces the principle of preventive medicine, similar to those who practice diet, nutrition, and lifestyle changes.
