What Laboratory Tests Are Available?
Dr. Ike Nnene commonly orders a variety of laboratory tests to assess a patient's overall health, diagnose medical conditions, and monitor treatment progress. These tests can be broadly categorized into the following areas:
Complete Blood Count (CBC):
This comprehensive test measures the different types and numbers of blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. It provides insights into overall health, blood cell production, and potential infections or immune system disorders.
Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP):
This panel evaluates electrolytes, kidney function, and metabolic balance. It measures levels of electrolytes like sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate, as well as kidney function markers like blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine.
Lipid Profile:
This test measures various cholesterol levels in the blood, including total cholesterol, LDL (bad) cholesterol, HDL (good) cholesterol, and triglycerides. It assesses a person's risk for cardiovascular diseases.
Thyroid Function Tests:
These tests evaluate the function of the thyroid gland, which produces hormones that regulate metabolism and other bodily processes. Common tests include thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and free thyroxine (T4) levels.
Urinalysis:
This test examines the composition of urine, providing information about kidney function, urinary tract infections, and potential metabolic abnormalities.
Blood Glucose Test:
This test measures the level of glucose, or sugar, in the blood. It is used to diagnose and monitor diabetes and other conditions affecting blood sugar levels.
Liver Function Tests:
These tests assess the health of the liver by measuring levels of enzymes and proteins produced by the liver. Abnormal results may indicate liver damage or disease.
Infectious Disease Testing:
Various tests can be ordered to detect and identify specific infectious agents, such as bacteria, viruses, or parasites. These may include throat swabs, blood cultures, or stool samples.
Pregnancy Tests:
These tests detect the presence of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), a hormone produced during pregnancy. Urine or blood samples are used for testing.
Coagulation Tests:
These tests assess the blood's clotting ability, which is important for wound healing and preventing excessive bleeding. Common tests include prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT).
These are just a few examples of the many laboratory tests that GPs commonly order. The specific tests ordered will vary depending on the patient's individual needs and medical history.
