Clinics usually look at a few core areas because each one answers a specific question about safety or progress: Complete blood count: screens for anemia or underlying illness that may worsen side effects like fatigue or dizziness during treatment Electrolytes: tracks hydration and mineral balance, which can shift with appetite changes or rapid weight loss Thyroid panel: checks for hypo- or hyperthyroidism, both of which can alter weight regulation and medication response [3] Kidney function: tracks the effects of GLP-1s on the kidneys and dehydration-related risks from GLP-1 side effects such as nausea or vomiting [4] Liver function: tracks the effects of GLP-1s on the liver, especially for people who might have a certain type of fatty liver disease [5] Lipid panel: assesses cholesterol and triglyceride levels to monitor metabolic improvements during treatment [6] Blood sugar tests: evaluates glucose handling, insulin resistance, and baseline metabolic risk [7] MEDvidi may request labs based on your history, but the cost is not included in any visit fee
