Cancer Antigen 15-3 | Cancer antigen 15-3 (CA 15-3) is a protein that is produced by normal breast cells. In many people with cancerous breast tumors, there is an increased production of CA 15-3 and the related cancer antigen 27.29. | cancer-screening | |
Cancer Antigen 19-9 | This test is used primarily to monitor response to pancreatic cancer treatment and to watch for recurrence; sometimes to aid in the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. | cancer-screening | |
Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) | This test is used primarily to monitor cancer treatment, including response to therapy and recurrence; as an indicator of the amount of cancer or size of tumor present (tumor burden) and to assist in cancer staging. | cancer-screening | |
CBC w / Differential | The complete blood count (CBC) is often used as a broad screening test to determine an individual’s general health status including cardiac risk. | general-wellness heart-health | |
Chlamydia | Chlamydia is one of the most common bacterial sexually transmitted diseases (STD) in the United States and can cause serious complications if not treated. Chlamydia testing identifies the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis as the cause of a person’s infection. | std-testing | |
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) | The comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) is used as a broad screening tool to evaluate organ function and check for conditions such as diabetes, liver disease, and kidney disease. Includes 14 tests. | heart-health | |
CRP High Sensitivity | The high-sensitivity CRP test measures low levels of CRP in the blood to identify low levels of inflammation that are associated with risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD). | heart-health | |
DHEA Sulfate | To help evaluate adrenal gland function; to detect adrenal tumors or cancers; to help determine the cause of masculine physical characteristics (virilization) in girls and women or early puberty in boys. | hormone-testing | |
Estradiol | To measure or monitor your estrogen levels; to detect an abnormal level or hormone imbalance as a cause of your signs and symptoms. | general-wellness hormone-testing | |
FSH & LH | Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is a hormone released by the pituitary gland that helps control the menstrual cycle and egg production in women, and sperm production in men. Abnormal levels of FSH can cause infertility or problems with puberty in both men and women, as well as abnormal menstrual cycles in women. Luteinizing hormone (LH), secreted by the pituitary gland, helps regulate the menstrual cycle in women, and testosterone production in men.

Glucose | To determine if your blood glucose level is within a healthy range; to screen for and diagnose diabetes and prediabetes and to monitor for high blood glucose. | diabetes-testing | |
Gonorrhea | Gonorrhea is a common bacterial sexually transmitted disease (STD) that can cause serious complications if not detected and treated. Gonorrhea testing identifies if the bacteria Neisseria gonorrhoeae is the cause of a person’s infection. | std-testing | |
Growth Hormone | To help diagnose growth hormone (GH) deficiency or, less commonly, growth hormone excess; to evaluate pituitary function; to monitor the effectiveness of treatment for excess production of growth hormone. | hormone-testing | |
Hemoglobin A1c | Hemoglobin A1c, also called A1c or glycated hemoglobin, is hemoglobin with glucose attached. The A1c test evaluates the average amount of glucose in the blood over the last 2 to 3 months by measuring the percentage of glycated (glycosylated) hemoglobin. | diabetes-testing | |
Hepatitis Acute Panel | Hepatitis is an inflammation and enlargement of the liver. One of the most common causes of acute hepatitis is infection with a hepatitis virus, usually hepatitis A, hepatitis B or hepatitis C. An acute viral hepatitis panel is a group of blood tests often performed together to help diagnose viral hepatitis. | std-testing | |
HIV AG/AB Test | Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is the cause of AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). HIV screening tests detect the HIV antigen (p24) and/or HIV antibodies produced in response to an HIV infection in the blood. | std-testing | |
Homocysteine | Homocysteine may be ordered as part of a screen for people at high risk for heart attack or stroke. It may be useful in someone who has a family history of coronary artery disease. | heart-health | |
HSV (Herpes Simplex Virus) Testing | Herpes is a common viral infection caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). The virus exists as two main types, HSV-1 and HSV-2. Herpes simplex virus testing identifies the presence of the virus in a sample from a blister, sore or fluid to diagnose an acute herpes infection. | std-testing | |
Insulin | To help evaluate insulin production by the beta cells in the pancreas; to help diagnose the presence of an insulin-producing tumor. | diabetes-testing | |
Insulin-Like Growth Factor | Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is a hormone that, along with growth hormone (GH), helps promote normal bone and tissue growth and development. The test measures the amount of IGF-1 in the blood. | hormone-testing | |
Lipid Profile | The lipid panel is used as part of a cardiac risk assessment to help determine an individual’s risk of heart disease and to help make decisions about what treatment may be best if there is borderline or high risk. | heart-health | |
Pregnancy Test with Fetal Age (hCG) | Pregnancy Test (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin – hCG) is routinely used to confirm pregnancy. Quantitative hCG testing measures the actual amount of hCG present in the blood and can help determine fetal age. It is usually ordered as early as 10 days after a missed menstrual period. | womens-health | |
Progesterone | To help determine the cause of infertility, track ovulation, help diagnose an ectopic or failing pregnancy, monitor the health of a pregnancy, monitor progesterone replacement therapy, or help diagnose the cause of abnormal uterine bleeding. | hormone-testing womens-health | |

Sedimentation Rate | To detect the presence of inflammation caused by one or more conditions such as infections, tumors or autoimmune diseases. | cancer-screening | |
