Regular blood testing is one of the many important ways you can do to keep track of your overall physical health and wellbeing. Lab diagnostics is always recommended to everyone, especially aging adults.
Blood tests help doctors determine how the different organs in your body are functioning. If any of these organs malfunctions, your blood will show what the problem is. Thus, treatment can easily be had. Medical professionals also advise their patients to get blood tests to monitor conditions such as diabetes, anemia, cancer, coronary heart disease, and bacterial or viral infections.
Some of the most important blood tests you should regularly get are:
- Complete blood count
- Basic metabolic panel (calcium, glucose, sodium, potassium, bicarbonate, chloride, blood urea nitrogen, and creatinine)
- Comprehensive metabolic panel (albumin, total protein, alkaline phosphatase, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and bilirubin)
- Lipid panel
- Thyroid panel
Other tests that aren’t routine but can be very useful in monitoring your health include cardiac biomarkers, STI tests, coagulation panel, C-reactive protein, and DHEA-sulfate serum test. Our urgent care center in Florida offers a broad spectrum of blood tests that help you and physicians determine what course of treatment should be adopted.
