Total Nutrition Panel (TOTP)

The Total Nutrition Panel (TOTP) is a group of blood tests that assess an individual’s nutritional status by measuring the levels of various nutrients in the blood. The specific tests included in the panel may vary depending on the healthcare provider’s preferences and the individual’s nutritional status, medical history, and risk factors.

The Total Nutrition Panel is typically ordered when an individual has symptoms of malnutrition or a known nutrient deficiency, such as fatigue, weakness, or unexplained weight loss. The test may also be ordered to monitor the effectiveness of treatment for nutrient deficiencies or to screen individuals at high risk of developing nutritional deficiencies, such as those with malabsorption disorders or a restricted diet. The results of the Total Nutrition Panel can help guide appropriate treatment and management of nutrient deficiencies and promote overall health and wellness.
