: Serum
Also Known As: Phosphorus Test, PO4 Test

The Phosphate Test measures the level of phosphate in the blood to help evaluate bone health, energy production, and kidney function. Abnormal levels may indicate issues with the kidneys, bones, or certain hormonal or nutritional disorders.


: Plasma-Unspecified Vial Pour
 The Plasma Renin Activity (PRA) test measures the activity of the enzyme renin in the blood. Renin is produced by the kidneys and plays a pivotal role in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), a hormone system that helps regulate blood pressure and fluid balance.

: Plasma-Unspecified Vial Pour
 The Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) test measures the level of PAI-1 in the blood. PAI-1 is a protein that plays a pivotal role in the body's fibrinolytic system, which is responsible for breaking down clots. Specifically, PAI-1 inhibits tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and urokinase (uPA), both of which are enzymes that convert plasminogen to plasmin, an enzyme that breaks down fibrin clots. An imbalance in PAI-1 levels can thus affect the body's ability to regulate clot formation and dissolution.

: Plasma-Unspecified Vial Pour
Also Known As: Brain Natriuretic Peptide Test, proBNP test,
The N-terminal proBNP (NT-proBNP) test is a crucial diagnostic tool used to measure the levels of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide in the blood. NT-proBNP is released by the heart in response to increased pressure and stretching of the heart muscle. This test plays a significant role in assessing cardiac health and diagnosing various heart-related conditions.

: Serum
 The Proinsulin test measures the amount of proinsulin in the blood. Proinsulin is a precursor molecule to insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas' beta cells. After its production, proinsulin gets split into two parts: insulin and C-peptide. While insulin aids in glucose uptake by cells, proinsulin itself is typically present in very low levels in the blood.

: Urine
 The Protein Total 24-Hour Urine with Creatinine test is a diagnostic assessment that measures the total amount of protein and creatinine levels in urine collected over a 24-hour period. By analyzing the content of proteins and creatinine in the urine over an entire day, this test provides valuable insight into kidney function and potential abnormalities.

: Urine

: Random

The Protein Total Random Urine Test with Creatinine measures protein and creatinine levels in a random urine sample to calculate the protein-to-creatinine ratio. It helps detect and monitor kidney disease, proteinuria, and other conditions affecting kidney function.


: Serum

: Blood

: Blood
Also Known As: PT with INR Test

The Prothrombin Time (PT) with INR Test measures how long it takes blood to clot and standardizes results with the International Normalized Ratio (INR). It helps assess clotting function, monitor blood-thinning therapy, and detect bleeding or clotting disorders.


: Serum
Also Known As: Kidney Panel Test, Kidney Function Panel Test

The Renal Function Panel measures electrolytes, minerals, and waste products in the blood to assess kidney health. It helps detect kidney disease, monitor kidney function, and guide treatment for conditions affecting the kidneys.


: Blood
Also Known As: Retic Count Reticulocyte Percent Test, Reticulocyte Index Test, Corrected Reticulocyte Test, Reticulocyte Production Index Test, RPI Test

The Reticulocyte Count Test measures the number of reticulocytes, or immature red blood cells, in the blood. It helps evaluate bone marrow function, monitor recovery from anemia, and assess how well the body is producing new red blood cells.


: Serum
Also Known As: RF Test, Rheumatoid Arthritis Factor Test

The Rheumatoid Factor (RF) Test measures the level of rheumatoid factor antibodies in the blood. Elevated RF may indicate autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren’s syndrome, or other inflammatory disorders, and helps support diagnosis and monitoring.


 The Rheumatoid Factor IgG IgM IgA Antibodies Test is a diagnostic procedure designed to detect and measure the levels of Rheumatoid Factor (RF) antibodies, specifically the IgG, IgM, and IgA types, in the blood. Rheumatoid factors are proteins produced by the immune system that can attack healthy tissue in the body.

: Serum
 The Rheumatoid Factor IgA Antibody test is a blood test that measures the level of IgA antibodies targeting rheumatoid factor in the blood. Rheumatoid factor is an autoantibody, which means it's produced by the body's immune system against its own tissues. Elevated levels of rheumatoid factor can indicate autoimmune conditions, particularly rheumatoid arthritis.

: Serum
Also Known As: RF Antibody Test, Rheumatoid Arthritis Factor Antibody Test, RF IgG Test, RF IgG Antibody Test, Rheumatoid Factor IgG Antibody Test
The Rheumatoid Factor IgG Antibody test is a blood test used to detect the presence of Rheumatoid Factor (RF) antibodies in the blood. Rheumatoid Factor is an autoantibody produced by the immune system that targets healthy tissues, particularly the synovium (lining of joints). The test measures the level of IgG antibodies specifically targeting RF.

: Blood
Also Known As: Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate Test, ESR Test, Sedimentation Rate Test, Westergren Sedimentation Rate Test

The Sed Rate (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) test, also known as the ESR test, measures the rate at which red blood cells settle to the bottom of a tube over a certain period of time. It is a non-specific test that provides information about the presence of inflammation in the body.


: Blood

The Selenium Micronutrient Blood Test measures selenium levels in the blood to assess nutritional status and detect deficiencies or excess. Selenium is a powerful antioxidant that supports thyroid function, immune defense, and protection against oxidative stress. This test helps identify dietary insufficiency, malabsorption, or toxicity, supporting diagnosis and management of overall health and wellness.

Patient must be 18 years of age or older.

Most Popular
: Serum

The Selenium Test measures selenium levels in the blood to evaluate nutritional status and overall health. Selenium is an essential mineral that supports thyroid function, antioxidant activity, and immune health. Abnormal levels may indicate deficiency, excess, or conditions affecting metabolism.


: Blood
 The Selenium RBC test measures the level of selenium in red blood cells (RBCs). Selenium is an essential trace element that plays a crucial role in various bodily functions, including antioxidant defense, thyroid hormone metabolism, and immune function. The test provides valuable information about the body's selenium status over a more extended period compared to measuring selenium levels in plasma or serum.

: Serum
Also Known As: Na Test, Sodium Serum Test
The Sodium test, also known as a serum sodium test, measures the concentration of sodium in the blood. Sodium is an essential electrolyte in the body, and this test helps assess the balance of sodium levels in the bloodstream. Sodium plays a critical role in maintaining proper fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle contractions.

Most Popular
Also Known As: Total T4 Test, Total Thyroxine Test, T4 Test, Bound T4 Test

The T4 Total Test measures the total amount of thyroxine (T4) in the blood, including both bound and free forms. It helps evaluate thyroid function and diagnose conditions like hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and other thyroid disorders.

One person dies every 36 seconds in the United States from cardiovascular disease.

That may seem like a shocking statistic, but what's more surprising is that cardiovascular disease is also the leading cause of death in the US.

Thankfully, by utilizing blood testing for cardiovascular diseases, you can learn your risk factors and make changes in your life to help prevent future heart problems.

So, what is cardiovascular disease, and which heart and cardiovascular tests are used to help diagnose it? Keep reading to learn more about this deadly disease and how to prevent it.

What is Heart and Cardiovascular Disease?

Cardiovascular disease is a type of disease that affects the heart muscle or blood vessels. Heart and Cardiovascular Disease refers to several different conditions, such as heart failure, stroke, heart attack, and more. The most common type of cardiovascular disease in the US is Coronary Artery Disease.
