Laboratory Testing

Basic Metabolic Profile (BMP)

Screening tool used to check for conditions such as diabetes or kidney disease. You may be asked to fast for 10–12 hours.

 

Complete Blood Count (CBC)

Determines general health and screens for disorders such as anemia or infections, as well as nutritional status and toxic substance exposure.

 

Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP)

Provides information about the kidneys and liver, electrolyte and acid base balance, as well as blood sugar and blood proteins.

 

Electrolyte Panel

Often requested as part of a routine exam to check for excess or deficit of electrolytes (sodium or potassium) or an acid base imbalance.

Sedimentation Rate (ESR)

Assists the physician in determining the cause of inflammation, or diagnosing and following the course of joint or muscle pain

 

Glucose

Used to help identify blood glucose levels, and to screen for, diagnose and monitor diabetes, pre-diabetes and hypoglycemia.

 

Liver Function Panel

Also known as a Liver Function Test (LFT), this testing can detect damage or disease, such as hepatitis or other liver related conditions.

 

Protime (PT)

Used to check how well prescribed blood thinning medications (anticoagulants) are working, or to help detect and diagnosis a bleeding disorder.

Urinalysis

Often performed at admission to a hospital or as part of an annual exam. May also be done if someone is experiencing abdominal pain or blood in the urine.
