Our Blood Testing Services
Our clinic offers a wide array of blood tests to cater to various health needs, including but not limited to:
Complete Blood Count (CBC)
A CBC measures various components of your blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. It provides important information about your overall health and can help diagnose conditions such as anemia, infection, and leukemia.
Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP)
A BMP measures glucose, calcium and electrolytes. It is also designed to measure kidney function indicators such as creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN). The test helps evaluate your body's metabolic balance and can detect conditions like diabetes, kidney disease, and electrolyte imbalances.
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP)
Similar to BMP, CMP measures glucose and electrolytes, and it's also used to measure kidney function and liver function markers such as albumin, total protein, bilirubin, and liver enzymes (AST, ALT, ALP). It provides a comprehensive assessment of metabolic and organ health.
Lipid Profile
This test measures cholesterol levels, including total cholesterol, LDL (bad) cholesterol, HDL (good) cholesterol, and triglycerides. It helps assess your risk of heart disease and provides information for managing cholesterol levels.
Blood Glucose Testing
This test measures the amount of glucose (sugar) in your blood. It is used to diagnose and monitor diabetes and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and to assess overall glucose metabolism.
Allergy Testing
Allergy testing involves assessing the immune system's response to specific allergens, such as pollen, dust mites, pet dander, or certain foods. It helps identify allergens triggering allergic reactions and aids in developing personalized treatment plans.

When Would I Need to Have a Blood Test?
There are various situations in which you may need to have a blood test. Some common reasons for undergoing blood testing include:
Ā 1. Routine Health Checkups: Many healthcare providers recommend routine blood tests as part of preventive healthcare to assess overall health, screen for underlying medical conditions, and monitor key health indicators such as cholesterol levels, blood sugar levels, and blood cell counts.
Ā 2.Ā Diagnosis of Symptoms: If you are experiencing specific symptoms or health concerns, your healthcare provider may order blood tests to help diagnose the underlying cause. For example, blood tests can help diagnose conditions such as anemia (insufficient red blood cells), diabetes, thyroid disorders, infections, autoimmune diseases, and liver or kidney problems.
Ā 3.Ā Monitoring Chronic Conditions: If you have a chronic medical condition such as diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney disease, or autoimmune disorders, regular blood tests may be necessary to monitor disease progression, assess treatment effectiveness, and manage medication dosages.
Ā 4. Preoperative Evaluation: Prior to undergoing surgery or certain medical procedures, your healthcare provider may order blood tests to assess your overall health status, identify any underlying medical conditions that could affect the procedure or anesthesia, and ensure that you are in optimal condition for surgery.
Ā 5. Medication Management: Some medications require regular monitoring of blood levels to ensure their safety and effectiveness. Blood tests may be needed to monitor drug levels, assess potential side effects, and adjust medication dosages accordingly.
Ā 6. Screening for Specific Health Conditions: Certain populations may undergo blood tests as part of targeted screening programs for specific health conditions. For example, pregnant women may undergo prenatal blood tests to screen for genetic disorders or infections, while individuals at higher risk for certain diseases (e.g., breast cancer, prostate cancer, blood cancer) may undergo specialized blood tests for early detection. Most common blood tests, however, include the CBC, BMP and CMP.
Ā 7. Occupational or Legal Requirements: In some cases, blood tests may be required for occupational purposes (e.g., pre-employment screening, workplace safety assessments) or legal reasons (e.g., paternity testing, forensic investigations).
