Lab services covers an array of tests that are processed and analyzed by a laboratory technician in a medical lab setting. Often your doctor will provide you with a standard requisition form that lists off all possible lab screening tests available, with them checking the specific ones they want you to complete. This will be based on symptoms you are presenting that they are trying to diagnose or to test your blood or urine for specific substances, microorganisms or other foreign matter. Some common lab tests that we are able to perform include urinalysis and drug screening, oral fluid drug screens, tuberculosis tests, flu tests, strep tests, pregnancy tests, STD tests and general blood work. Lab services can test any biological matter including blood, urine, skin, hair, saliva and stool samples as needed to diagnose specific conditions. Many different illnesses, substances, bacteria and other materials can be detected through laboratory tests, giving doctors and medical professionals the ability to diagnose some conditions before symptoms even start. This early detection will enable them to start treatment right away and improve the chances the patient doesn’t suffer from severe outcomes.
