Our impressive medical staff of specialists and subspecialists practice in locations throughout the Chicago area. Pediatric patients require a higher proportion of complex diagnostic tests and fewer screening tests than adult patients. In the pediatric setting, the ability to perform a complex test on a stat basis is often critical to patient management and, at times, a life or death issue. Many of our small patients need repetitive testing. This necessitates special phlebotomy techniques and testing methods adapted to the smallest possible sample size.
Pediatric ranges are necessary for valid interpretation.
