What are Blood Tests?
Blood tests are diagnostic tools used to evaluate your health, detect potential conditions, and monitor ongoing treatments. They involve taking a small sample of blood, which is then analyzed in a laboratory. Blood tests can provide valuable insights into various aspects of your health, including organ function, blood cell counts, and nutrient levels.
Types of Blood Tests We Offer:
- Complete Blood Count (CBC): Measures the levels of different blood cells to assess overall health and detect issues such as anemia or infection.
- Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP): Evaluates key chemicals and electrolytes in the blood to monitor kidney function, blood sugar levels, and overall metabolism.
- Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP): Provides a broader view of your metabolic health by including BMP tests along with liver function tests.
- Lipid Profile: Measures cholesterol and triglyceride levels to assess heart health and risk of cardiovascular disease.
- Thyroid Function Tests: Evaluates thyroid hormones to assess thyroid gland function and diagnose conditions like hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism.
