CBC
(Complete Blood Count) |
A CBC may be ordered when a person has any number of signs and symptoms that may be related to disorders that affect blood cells. When an individual has fatigue or weakness or has an infection, inflammation, bruising, or bleeding, a doctor may order a CBC to help diagnose the cause and/or determine its severity.

BMP
(Basic Metabolic Panel) |
The panel is also often ordered in the hospital emergency room setting because its components give doctors important information about the current status of a person's kidneys, electrolyte and acid/base balance, and blood glucose and calcium levels. Significant changes in these test results can indicate acute problems, such as kidney failure, insulin shock or diabetic coma, respiratory distress, or heart rhythm changes.

CMP
(Complete Metabolic Panel) |
The Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (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 people taking specific medications for any kidney- or liver-related side effects.
Alanine Transaminase Albumin serum Alkaline Phosphatase Aspartate Transaminase Bicarbonate serum Bilirubin total Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) Calcium, ionized serum Calcium serum Chloride serum Creatinine serum (Male, Female) Glucose serum Potassium serum Proteins, total serum sodium serum |

Blood Gases
|
1.) Blood gas tests are ordered when you have symptoms of an oxygen/carbon dioxide or pH imbalance, such as difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, nausea or vomiting.
2.) Checking the blood gases from the umbilical cord of newborns may uncover respiratory problems as well as determine the baby's acid/base status. Testing is usually only done if a newborn's condition indicates that he or she may be having difficulty breathing.

Liver Profile (Panel)
|
A liver panel, or one or more of its components, may be ordered when someone is at risk for liver dysfunction. Some examples include:
1.) people who have a history of known or possible 2.) exposure to hepatitis viruses 3.) those who are heavy drinkers 4.) individuals whose families have a history of liver disease 5.) people who take drugs that might occasionally damage the liver A liver panel may be ordered when a person has signs and symptoms of liver disease. Some of these include: 1.) Weakness, fatigue 2.) Loss of appetite 3.) Nausea, vomiting 4.) Abdominal swelling and/or pain 5.) Jaundice 6.) Dark urine, light colored stool 7.) Itching (pruritus) Alanine Transaminase Albumin serum Alkaline Phosphatase Ammonia Anti-liver/kidney Microsomal Antibody Aspartate Transaminase Bilirubin urine Bilirubin conjugated Bilirubin total Bilirubin unconjugated Proteins, total serum Y-Glutamyl Transpeptidase (Male, Female) |

Lipid Profile (Panel)
|
Screening with a lipid profile is recommended for children and youths who are at an increased risk of developing heart disease as adults. Some of the risk factors are similar to those in adults and include a family history of heart disease or health problems such as diabetes, high blood pressure (hypertension), or being overweight.
Cholesterol, total High-density Lipoprotein (Male, Female) Low-density Lipoprotein Total Cholesterol/HDL ratio Triglycerides TRIG Very low density lipoproteins |

Coagulation Profile (Panel)
|
When you have unexplained or prolonged bleeding, an abnormal Prothrombin Time (PT) or Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT) test, or have a relative with a hereditary coagulation factor deficiency; you may be tested when your doctor wants to monitor the severity of a factor deficiency and/or the effectiveness of treatment.

Urine Analysis (Urinalysis)
|
During a routine physical or when you have symptoms of a urinary tract infection, such as abdominal pain, back pain, frequent or painful urination; as part of a pregnancy check-up, a hospital admission, or a pre-surgical work-up.
