White-blood-cell-count-wbc
To screen for or diagnose a variety of conditions that can affect white blood cells WBC such as an infection inflammation or a disease that affects the production or survival of WBCs to monitor treatment of a blood disorder or to monitor therapy that is known to affect WBCs Specimen:A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm or by a fingerstick children and adults or heelstick newborns When To Get Tested: As part of a complete blood count CBC when you have a routine health examination when you have any number of signs and symptoms that may be related to a condition affecting WBCs such as infection inflammation or cancer when you have a condition or are receiving treatment that is known to affect WBCs Test Preparation:None Normal Test Result: 4,500 WBCs per microliter (4.5 to 11.0 × 109/L) to 11,000 WBCs per microliter (4.5 to 11.0 × 109/L)

 

Non-HDL Cholesterol
To screen for risk of developing heart disease to monitor effectiveness of lipid-lowering therapy Specimen:Most often a blood sample is collected from a vein in the arm Sometimes cholesterol is measured using a drop of blood collected by puncturing the skin on a finger A fingerstick sample is typically used when cholesterol is being measured on a portable testing device for example at a health fair When To Get Tested: Screening as part of a regular health exam with a lipid profile when no risk factors for heart disease are present adults should be tested once every four to six years children teens and young adults should be tested once between the ages of 9 and 11 and then again between the ages of 17 and 21 Monitoring may be done more frequently and at regular intervals when risk factors for heart disease are present when prior results showed high risk levels and or when undergoing treatment for unhealthy lipid levels Test Preparation:Cholesterol tests typically require fasting for 9-12 hours before the test only water is permitted Your healthcare practitioner may decide that you may be tested without fasting Follow any instructions you are given and tell the person drawing your blood whether or not you have fasted For youths without risk factors testing may be done without fasting Normal Test Result: < 130

Electrolytes - Chloride
To detect an EGFR gene mutation in tumor tissue to help guide treatment of non-small cell lung cancer Specimen:A sample of cancer tissue obtained during a biopsy When To Get Tested: When you have been diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer and your health practitioner is considering treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as gefitinib and erlotinib Test Preparation:None Normal Test Result: 96 - 106

 

Electrolytes - Potassium
To detect an EGFR gene mutation in tumor tissue to help guide treatment of non-small cell lung cancer Specimen:A sample of cancer tissue obtained during a biopsy When To Get Tested: When you have been diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer and your health practitioner is considering treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as gefitinib and erlotinib Test Preparation:None Normal Test Result: 3.5 - 4.5

 

Total bilirubin
To screen for or monitor liver disorders or hemolytic anemia to monitor neonatal jaundice Specimen:In adults a blood sample drawn from a vein in the arm in newborns a blood sample from a heelstick non-invasive technology is available in some healthcare facilities that will measure bilirubin by using an instrument placed on the skin transcutaneous bilirubin meter When To Get Tested: When you have signs or symptoms of liver damage liver disease bile duct blockage hemolytic anemia or a liver-related metabolic problem or if a newborn has jaundice Test Preparation:You may need to fast nothing but water for several hours before the test fasting requirements vary by laboratory ask your lab or healthcare provider for instructions Normal Test Result: less than 0.3 mg/dL (less than 5.1 µmol/L) Total bilirubin: 0.1 to 1.2 mg/dL (1.71 to 20.5 µmol/L)

 

Fasting Blood Sugar

This is the test that measures blood sugar levels. Elevated levels are associated with diabetes and insulin resistance, in which the body cannot properly handle sugar.

 

Complete Blood Count

To determine your general health status; to screen for, diagnose, or monitor any one of a variety of diseases and conditions that affect blood cells. A blood sample is drawn from a vein in your arm or a fingerstick

 

HbA1c

 

SGOT

 

SGPT

 

APO-A1

Apolipoprotein A-I is a test that measures the amount of apo A-I in the blood. Apolipoprotein A-I (apo A-I) is a protein that has specific roles in the transportation and metabolism of lipids and is the main protein component in high-density lipoprotein.

 

Average-Blood-Glucose

A blood sugar level less than 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L) is considered normal. A reading of more than 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) after two hours indicates diabetes and a reading between 140 and 199 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L and 11.0 mmol/L) indicates prediabetes.
