Although we perform many tests, the following are the most common tests that our laboratory provides:
Commonly referred to as a "panel," our diagnostic profile measures the following components:
A CBC evaluates the number of circulating white and red blood cells and platelets. This test can be useful to identify infection, anemia, adequate blood cell production, and certain types of cancers.
Assessing the health and function of the urinary system can help detect urinary tract diseases, liver failure, and hemolysis.
This is a test that investigates coagulation factors (also referred to as blood clotting factors). Low or absent factors indicate the cause of bleeding disorders. This testing often is performed if a patient has excessive bleeding or prolonged bruising.
Cytology focuses on the investigation of disease processes by examining tissue samples microscopically. Cells are evaluated individually under high magnification with the purpose of diagnosing types of inflammation, infectious agents, types of cancer, or other tissue abnormalities. Often, cytology can guide the next diagnostic step in patient evaluation.
This tests for IgG antibodies, which can bind to red blood cells when a patient has diseases such as autoimmune hemolytic anemia.
Blood typing determines blood type by identifying proteins on the surface of blood cells. Cross-matching finds compatible blood types for situations such as blood transfusions.
Blood gas analysis measures the partial pressure of oxygen and carbon dioxide, as well as the pH, in the blood
We offer additional special tests including: Fructosamine, Bile Acids, Ethylene Glycol, b-HBA, Non-esterified fatty acids, and Osmolality.
