Complete Blood Count (CBC)
|
|
A complete blood count provides important information about the kinds and numbers of cells in the blood, especially red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. A CBC helps your health professional evaluate symptoms (such as weakness, fatigue, or bruising) and diagnose conditions (such as anemia, infection, and many other disorders.)

|
Comprehensive Metabolic Profile (CMP)
|
|
The CMP is used as a broad screening tool to evaluate organ function and check for conditions such as diabetes, liver disease, and kidney disease. The CMP may also be ordered to monitor known conditions, such as hypertension, and to monitor patients taking specific medications for any kidney- or liver-related side effects.

|
Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR)
|
|
The ESR is an easy, nonspecific test that has been used for many years to help diagnose conditions associated with acute and chronic inflammation including infections, cancers, and autoimmune diseases.
|
|
|
The GHP3 includes results from the Complete Blood Count (CBC), Lipid, Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) and the Comprehensive Metabolic Profile (CMP).
|

|
|
The A1C test is used primarily to monitor the glucose control of diabetics over time. The goal of those with diabetes is to keep their blood glucose levels as close to normal as possible.

The Hep B Core Ab IgM positivity indicates recent infection with Hepatitis B virus, usually within the last 6 months. Its presence indicates acute infection.
|
|
|
Hepatitis B Surface Antigen
|
|
The Hep B Surface Antigen is a serologic marker on the surface of Hepatitis B virus. It can be detected in high levels in serum during acute or chronic hepatitis. The presense of HBsAg indicates that the person is infectious.
|
|
|
|
The Hepatitis C AB IgG is a screening test for hepatitis C. Positivity indicates that antibodies to Hepatitis C virus were detected in the blood.

|
|
Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) Types 1 & 2 IgG and IgM Antibody
|
|
The presence of HSV-1 or HSV-2 IgG antibodies indicates a previous infection. The presence of HSV-1 or HSV-2 IgM antibodies indicates an active or recent infection.
|
|
|
|
A liver (hepatic) function panel is a blood test used to evaluate how the liver is working. High or low levels may mean that liver damage or disease is present.
|
|
|
|
Confirms the presence of adequate protection against the Measles virus. Can also be used to detect a recent or past infection.
|
|
|
|
Confirms the presence of adequate protection against the Mumps virus. Can also be used to detect a recent or past infection.
|
|
|
Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA)
|
|
PSA is a substance produced by the prostate gland. Elevated PSA levels may indicate prostate cancer or a non-cancerous condition such as prostatitis or an enlarged prostate.
|
|
|
|
Pro-Time is a blood test that measures how long it takes the blood to clot. A pro-time (pro-thrombin time) test can be used to screen for bleeding abnormalities. PT is also used to monitor treatment with medication that prevents the formation of blood clots.
|
|
|
|
This is an innovative blood test that measures the cell-mediated immune response of TB-infected individuals. The test has several advantages over a TB skin test. The test only requires one visit. The results are unaffected by BCG vaccination. The results are unaffected by most environmental non-tuberculosis mycobacterium.
|
|
|
|
Confirms the presence of adequate protection against the Rubella virus. Can also be used to detect a recent or past infection.
|

|
|
A T3 test helps to determine whether the thyroid is functioning properly, and also monitors the progress of a patient with a known thyroid disorder.
|
|
|
The T4 test helps evaluate thyroid gland function and helps diagnose hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism.
|
|
Thyroid Stimulating Horomone (TSH)
|
|
The TSH blood test is used to check for thyroid gland problems. TSH is produced when the hypothalamus releases a substance called thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH). TRH then triggers the pituitary gland to release TSH.
|
|
|
|
Confirms the presence of adequate protection against the Varicella (Chickenpox) virus. Can also be used to detect a recent or past infection.
