Curated lab testing
Combining blood biomarkers with whole body MRI unlocks deeper clarity in screening. MRI visualizes structural changes—like potential tumors, organ irregularities, or fat accumulation—while bloodwork reveals functional insights such as inflammation, hormonal imbalances, and metabolic stress. One test checks anatomy; the other checks chemistry. This integrated approach fosters earlier interventions and more precise treatment plans, ultimately leading to better health outcomes.
The comprehensive blood panel spans several key health domains to better assess your health:
Cardiovascular health
Apo B, hs-CRP, NMR lipid profiles, homocysteine, lipoprotein(a) Thyroid Health: TSH panel (T3 uptake, Free T4, Total T4) plus TPO antibodies
Thyroid health
TSH panel (T3 uptake, Free T4, Total T4) plus TPO antibodies
Autoimmune markers
Antinuclear Antibodies (ANA) panel
Immune regulation & blood health
CBC with differential, ferritin, iron, and TIBC
Hormonal health
Testosterone (total and free), SHBG, prolactin
Metabolic health
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (liver enzymes, kidney markers, glucose), HbA1c, B12, folate, Vitamin D, zinc, magnesium, uric acid
Pancreatic function
Lipase
Gut health
Celiac tTG IgA
The combined power of these modalities at work:
Integrating data from MRI with lab results often leads to a more accurate diagnosis and treatment plan, especially when dealing with complex medical situations where one test alone might not provide enough information. Here are just a few examples:
Cancer risk
MRI can help identify suspicious lesions, and a blood test can be used to confirm the presence of cancer cells and determine their aggressiveness.
Kidney disease
MRI can visualize kidney structure and function, while blood tests like creatinine and GFR levels can assess kidney function, helping to monitor disease progression.
Musculoskeletal conditions
MRI can help detect soft tissue injuries, while blood tests can indicate inflammatory markers associated with conditions like arthritis.
Metabolic Health
Damage from fatty liver on MRI can be validated by elevated liver enzymes and HbA1c, indicating metabolic stress.
Frequently asked questions
Lab processing times vary - expect results within 3-4 weeks. You can schedule your consultation with a Prenuvo healthcare practitioner when your lab results, whole body MRI radiology report, and advanced brain health assessment are ready. You will receive your Prenuvo radiology report through the app and patient dashboard, and your Body Composition report, brain volume assessment, and lab results will be emailed to you.
After an initial screening to determine the appropriateness of the test, your labs will be ordered by a Prenuvo provider, with the convenience of self-scheduling home phlebotomy services. After receiving lab orders, we'll send you instructions via email to schedule your home blood draw.
At this time, you must opt into lab testing to receive the Enhanced Screening. You will not receive your results until you have completed your lab testing.
The lab panel t is designed to complement your Prenuvo whole-body MRI by providing a deeper, more holistic view of your health. Unlike standard blood tests that focus on a limited set of markers, our panel includes advanced testing that pairs with your MRI results, to provide a more complete picture of your overall health, helping to identify potential risks and optimize your wellness strategy.
To prepare for your in-home lab draw, we recommend fasting for at least 4 hours before your phlebotomist appointment. Being well-hydrated is essential, as dehydration can make veins more difficult to access and increase the likelihood of clotting during the draw. Drinking plenty of water before your appointment helps ensure a smoother experience.
