Blood Type (ABO/Rh) ($15) - is a group of tests that determines your ABO blood type and your Rh status (either positive or negative for the presence of the Rh factor).

Comprehensive Metabolic Panel ($45) - is a panel of tests that are used to give important information about the current status of your kidneys, liver, electrolytes, blood sugar and certain blood proteins and enzymes. This panel includes Glucose, BUN, Creatinine, Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, CO2, Calcium, Total Bilirubin, Total Protein, Albumin, Alkaline Phosphatase, SGOT/AST, SGPT/ALT.

Basic Metabolic Panel ($30) - provides important information about the current status of kidneys, blood sugar and electrolytes. The panel includes Glucose, BUN, Creatinine, Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, CO2 and Calcium.

Fasting Lipid Panel ($25) - is a panel of tests that are often ordered together to determine risk of coronary heart disease. These tests have been shown to be good indicators of whether someone is likely to have a heart attack or stroke caused by blockage of blood vessels. The panel includes total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and triglyceride. A 12-14 hour fast is recommended for accurate results.

Hemoglobin A1c ($25) - test reflects the average blood glucose levels in the blood over 6-8 weeks prior to testing. It is not dependent on the fasting state. It is used to help monitor individuals with diabetes to determine long-term control of diabetes.

Vascular Package ($45) - Includes all 3 of the screenings listed below.

• Carotid Artery - Ultrasound test checks for plaque buildup; helps identify the risk of stroke.

• Abdominal Aorta - Ultrasound test checks for the presence of an aneurysm that could lead to a ruptured aorta.

• Peripheral Artery Diseases - Measures the circulation to your legs to help detect peripheral vascular disease, an indicator of heart disease.

LABORATORY TESTS AVAILABLE INCLUDE:

Thyroid Panel ($50) - is a group of tests that are used to help evaluate thyroid gland function and other thyroid disorders. The panel includes TSH and free T4.

Cholesterol ($15) - measures the amount of cholesterol in the blood and is useful in estimating a person’s risk of developing heart disease.

Vitamin D ($40) - The Vitamin D 25-hydroxy test is the most accurate way to measure how much Vitamin D is in your body. There is increasing evidence that Vitamin D deficiency may increase the risk of some cancers, immune system disorders, and cardiovascular disease.
