Includes all components of the Expanded Health Profile plus CRP (High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein) and PSA Screen (Prostate Specific Antigen)

Includes all components of the Expanded Health Profile plus CRP (High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein) and Thyroid Screen (TSH, High Sensitivity)

Checks iron status and shows if there is an abnormally high, abnormally low, or a sufficient supply of iron. Includes Iron, Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC), % Iron Saturation, and Ferritin.

Determines your ABO blood group and Rh type.

Gives important information about the kind and number of cells in your blood. Physicians often use the information in the CBC to evaluate symptoms, diagnose conditions, and treat certain illnesses.

The CRP test does not diagnose specific disease but is a general marker for inflammation. A high CRP level may be an indication of a condition causing inflammation, such as an infection or an inflammatory disorder such as arthritis, an autoimmune disorder, or inflammatory bowel disease.

Folate and Vitamin B12 are separate tests often used in conjunction to help evaluate conditions including anemia, neuropathy, and nutritional status in some people; or to monitor the effectiveness of treatment for vitamin B12 or folate
deficiency.

When you have symptoms of an ulcer, such as gastrointestinal pain that comes and goes, unexplained weight loss, nausea and/or vomiting, this test can indicate an infection with Helicobacter pylori, bacteria that can cause peptic ulcers.

Measures the amount of hCG present in the blood. Used to evaluate and monitor some patients with infertility, in-vitro fertilization, or other pregnancy related conditions. For routine diagnosis of pregnancy hCG Qualitative testing is recommended.

Iron, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) and a calculated transferrin saturation determine how much iron is being carried in the blood. These tests are used together to detect and help diagnose too little or too much iron.

Used to screen for digestive tract bleeding, which may be an indicator of colon cancer.

Used to confirm pregnancy when you suspect that you are pregnant (testing can be done reliably by 10 days after you miss your menstrual period)

Measures the amount of prostate-specific antigen. Rising or changing levels of PSA may be a sign of a prostate problem, possibly cancer.

Used to check how well the blood-thinning medication (anticoagulant) warfarin (COUMADIN^®) is working to prevent blood clots; to help detect and diagnose a bleeding disorder.

To screen for metabolic and kidney disorders and for urinary tract infections (UTIs).

Vitamin B12 and Folate are separate tests often used in conjunction to help evaluate conditions including anemia, neuropathy, and nutritional status in some people; or to monitor the effectiveness of treatment for vitamin B12 or folate
deficiency.

Used to detect Vitamin D deficiencies.

Can help determine if you are allergic to any of the following to assist in identifying allergen sources that you may want to avoid:

Acacia Tree, Alternaria alternata (mold), Bermuda Grass, Cat Epithelium & Dander, Common Ragweed, Dermatophagoides farinae (dust mite), Dog Dander, Elm Tree, German Cockroach, Kentucky Blue Grass, Oak Tree, Russian Thistle and Sheep Sorell.

Detects diabetes or a pre-diabetic condition.

For patients already diagnosed with diabetes. Includes both Glucose and Hemoglobin A1c, which monitors glucose over a period of time.

Important test for diabetics. Detects diabetes or a pre-diabetic condition. Monitors glucose over a period of time.

Detects risk of heart attack, coronary artery disease or stroke. Also known as a Lipid Panel. Includes cholesterol, HDL, LDL, VLDL, and Triglycerides.

Estimates risk of developing heart disease. Includes cholesterol only.

The CRP test does not diagnose specific disease but is a general marker for inflammation or infection. A high CRP level may be a risk factor in heart disease or may simply be a marker for heart problems.

Used to detect problems affecting the thyroid gland.

Used primarily to help diagnose hyperthyroidism and may be used to help monitor treatment of a person with a known thyroid disorder.

Used to help evaluate thyroid function and diagnose thyroid diseases, including hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, usually after discovering that the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) level is abnormal.

Screen for and diagnoses a hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and to monitor treatment of the infection

Screens for tuberculosis (TB). The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has determined that tests such as QuantiFERON® may be used in any situation where a TB skin test would be used.

Screens for GC/Chlamydia, Herpes, Syphilis, and HIV.

Screens for GC/Chlamydia only.

Screens for Herpes only.

Screens for HIV only.

Screens for Syphilis only.
