Our medical office provides a wide range of blood tests.
- Cholesterol Screening: Testing for cholesterol levels, including LDL, HDL, and triglycerides, to evaluate cardiovascular risk. Lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) is a unique lipoprotein subclass associated with cardiovascular disease risk, characterized by a low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-like structure and an additional protein called apolipoprotein(a).
- Glucose Monitoring: Checking blood sugar levels to diagnose and manage diabetes and prediabetes.
- Urinalysis: Analyzing urine samples to screen for kidney disease, urinary tract infections, and other health issues.
- Drug Screening: Conducting tests to detect the presence of drugs or substances in the body for workplace or legal purposes.
- STD Testing: Offering tests for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia.
- Pregnancy Testing: Confirming pregnancy through urine or blood tests.
- Thyroid Function Tests: Evaluating thyroid hormone levels to diagnose thyroid disorders like hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.
- Liver Function Tests: Assessing liver enzymes and function to diagnose liver diseases and monitor medication side effects.

- Allergy Testing: Identifying allergens through skin tests, blood tests, or food challenges to develop allergy management plans.
- Coagulation Studies: Measuring clotting factors to diagnose bleeding disorders and monitor anticoagulant therapy.
- Microbiology Cultures: Cultivating and identifying bacteria or fungi from samples to diagnose infections and determine antibiotic susceptibilities.
- Hormone Testing: Measuring hormone levels, such as testosterone, estrogen, or thyroid hormones, to diagnose hormonal imbalances and conditions.
- Metabolic Panel: Evaluating electrolyte and metabolic imbalances through a combination of blood tests.
- Cardiac Biomarkers: Analyzing markers like troponin and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) to diagnose heart conditions.
- Tumor Markers: Monitoring cancer progression and recurrence by measuring specific markers related to certain cancers.
- Immunological Assays: Conducting tests to assess immune system function, including autoimmune disease screenings and antibody titers.
- Toxicology Screens: Detecting the presence of toxins or poisons in the body for medical or forensic purposes.
- Inflammatory Marker Testing: Measuring markers like C-reactive protein (CRP) to assess inflammation levels in the body.
