What is Lab Testing?

Laboratory testing is a vital component of modern healthcare, utilizing advanced technologies to analyze various biological samples, such as blood, urine, tissue, and more. These tests help our healthcare professionals assess your overall health, identify potential issues, and guide evidence-based decisions for your care. Lab testing plays a crucial role in preventive care, early detection of diseases, and ongoing monitoring of treatment effectiveness.

Typically included as part of your annual visit, a routine lab panel is a key component of both preventive care and the management of existing health conditions. Whether you’re maintaining your health or addressing new or ongoing symptoms, these labs provide critical insights. Tests include:

  • Complete Blood Count
    Evaluates red and white blood cell health and screens for anemia, infection, and inflammation
  • Comprehensive Metabolic Panel
    Evaluates liver and kidney function, blood sugar levels, and electrolyte balance
  • Lipid Panel
    Measures cholesterol and triglyceride levels to assess cardiovascular risk
  • TSH + Free T4
    Evaluates thyroid function
  • Hemoglobin A1c
    Measures average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months for diabetes screening and monitoring

Whether for routine screening or addressing concerns, this panel provides comprehensive testing for common sexually transmitted infections. Early detection supports timely treatment and reduces the risk of complications or transmission. Tests include:

  • Chlamydia/Gonorrhea
    Screens for the two most common bacterial STIs
  • RPR (Syphilis)
    Screens for syphilis, a bacterial infection that can cause serious complications if left untreated
  • HIV
    Screens for HIV (followed by a confirmatory test to ensure proper diagnosis if results are positive), with early detection and treatment improving long-term health outcomes
  • HSV (Herpes)
    Screens for both HSV-1, a common virus associated with oral herpes that usually does not require treatment, and HSV-2, which often causes genital outbreaks and may require ongoing management
  • Hepatitis
    Screens for Hepatitis A, B, and C, viral infections that affect liver health

These labs are often ordered based on symptoms, family history, or specific health concerns.

  • T3
    An additional thyroid test sometimes ordered alongside TSH and Free T4 to more fully assess thyroid function if there is cause for concern
  • Testosterone
    Measures testosterone levels, which affect energy, mood, libido, muscle mass, and reproductive health, and is often ordered to evaluate fatigue, hormone imbalances, infertility, or as part of monitoring testosterone replacement therapy
  • FSH + LH
    Evaluates reproductive hormone levels, often used in fertility testing and in cases of low testosterone levels or menstrual irregularities
  • Prolactin
    Evaluates pituitary function, often used in cases of low testosterone levels, menstrual irregularities, or unexpected lactation
  • PSA
    Screens for prostate health, including potential signs of prostate cancer, typically for men (or those assigned male at birth) over 50
  • Vitamin D
    Measures Vitamin D levels, which are important for bone health, immune function, and mood regulation
  • Vitamin B12
    Measures Vitamin B12 levels, which are important for nerve function and red blood cell production
