The Importance of Lab Testing

Body fluids and tissues contain comprehensive information on a person’s overall health, but the key information garnered from these specimens is not always visible to the naked eye.

Lab testing provides valuable information on:

Bacterial infections
Blood sugar levels
Cancer diagnosis and progress
Cholesterol levels
Nutrients in blood
White blood cell count
HIV/AIDS diagnosis
Sexually transmitted disease screening

The earlier a problem is found, the better chance you and your doctor have of treating it. Ask your doctor about medical lab testing during your next physical.
