PT/INR tests: evaluates the blood’s ability to clot and are crucial for monitoring patients on anticoagulant therapy.

Routine blood work: Comprehensive blood tests assess various aspects of health, such as organ function (CMP), thyroid function, nutritional status, lipid profile (cholesterol levels), blood cell counts (CBC), lead exposure, and sexually transmitted infections (STDs). These tests provide valuable insights into overall health and help diagnose and manage a wide range of conditions.

Blood cultures identify the presence of bacteria or fungi in the bloodstream, aiding in the diagnosis and treatment of bloodstream infections.

Urinalysis and Related Tests:

Urinalysis examines urine for various substances and abnormalities, providing insights into kidney function, urinary tract infections, and other health conditions.

Micro-albumin testing detects early signs of kidney damage. Urine pregnancy tests detect the presence of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), indicating pregnancy.

Urine drug screens detect the presence of illicit substances or medications, important for monitoring substance use and ensuring patient safety.

Cardiac and Respiratory Assessments:

EKGs (electrocardiograms) evaluate heart rhythm and detect cardiac abnormalities such as arrhythmias and heart attacks.

Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) and peak flow spirometry assess lung function and are used in the diagnosis and management of respiratory conditions such as asthma and COPD.

Gynecological and Reproductive Health:

PAP smears screen for cervical cancer by detecting abnormal cells in the cervix.

Vaginal swabs may be used to diagnose vaginal infections.
