CBC Test or Complete Blood Count With Differential is a test used to measure blood abnormalities, it is one of the most common tests used to monitor overall health status.

CBC measures certain blood cells such as Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells, and Platelets and seeks to explain a variety of conditions and/or diseases such as Anemia, Leukemia, and infections -among others- and check symptoms such as fatigue, weakness or bruising.

CMP Test or Comprehensive Metabolic Panel Blood Test is an initial broad screening tool used to evaluate organ function and electrolyte balance, it also aids in the determination of certain conditions such as diabetes, liver disease and kidney disease or for monitoring treatments related to liver and kidney.

CMP is usually ordered as part of a routine health check.

The CMP or Chem-14 includes tests for:

• Liver function (ALP, ALT, AST, Bilirubin)

• Kidney function (BUN, Creatinine)

• Electrolytes and fluid balance (Sodium, Potassium, Carbon Dioxide, Chloride)

• Proteins (Albumin, Total Protein)

• Blood Sugar (Glucose)

• Calcium

Lipid Panel Test measures fats and fatty substances which are used by your body as a source of energy. Lipids include cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL). Lipids are found in your blood and stored in tissues.

High cholesterol usually has no signs or symptoms so the test helps in the evaluation of heart disease and also monitors existing conditions, genetic diseases and the effectiveness of certain treatments.

Lipid Panel Test includes: low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, total cholesterol and triglycerides.

The urinalysis test helps diagnose any urinary tract infections and other kidney conditions such as urinary bladder disease, kidney disease and diabetes.

UA is a common test that is done in 3 ways: visually, dipstick and microscopic and each check for different aspects, i.e.: change in color, acidity, concentration, protein, sugar, ketones, bilirubin, infection, occult blood, white and red blood cells, epithelial cells and others.

HS-CRP or High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein test measures CRP Level in your blood, CRP is a protein that increases when there is inflammation in the body.

Because of its high sensitivity status this test can detect even mildly high levels of CRP associated with Atherosclerosis (narrowing or inflammation of the arteries of your heart) which can lead to heart disease and high blood pressure.

The Hemoglobin A1C Blood Test estimates the average glucose (sugar levels) over the past 120 days, it is used to screen for diabetes and track progress in diabetics management, it is considered the gold standard for measuring blood sugar,

The American Diabetes Association (ADA) has recommended testing twice a year for patients with stable blood sugar and quarterly for patients with poor blood sugar control. The test is recommended to diagnose Pre-Diabetes, type 1 Diabetes and type 2 Diabetes.

Iron TIBC and Ferritin Test measure iron levels in your blood.

Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) is a blood test that looks if you have too much or too little iron in your blood. Iron moves through the blood attached to a protein called transferrin. This test helps you know how well that protein can carry iron in your blood.

Iron is an essential mineral needed in the blood to transport oxygen throughout your body. If iron levels are too low this can result in anemia (decreased red blood cells).

Thyroid Panel Plus by Lab Test on Demand helps evaluate thyroid gland function and to help diagnose thyroid disorders. The tests included in a thyroid panel measure the level of thyroid hormones in the blood.

Thyroid Panel Basic contains: TSH, T-3 Uptake, and T-4 Thyroxine Total, Free T4 Index.

Thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland in your neck, It is one of your endocrine glands, which make hormones. Thyroid hormones control the rate of many activities in your body. These include how fast you burn calories and how fast your heart beats. All of these activities are your body’s metabolism.
