Postpartum Panel 8 tests

A one-time recovery check after birth covering blood count, iron stores, kidney and liver function, glucose, thyroid, cholesterol, B12, folate and vitamin D.

After giving birth, 18+ · Fasting required

What’s included

Best taken 6–12 weeks after delivery, alongside blood-pressure checks and mood screening, which the labs do not replace.

Normal results need no repeat; only a result that is off is followed up. After gestational diabetes, the glucose tolerance test is arranged separately with your clinician.
