Abnormal results may indicate autoimmune diseases such as lupus, complement deficiencies, or immune complex disorders. Doctors use this blood test to evaluate immune function, investigate recurrent infections, and monitor treatment in patients with suspected immune or autoimmune conditions.

The Complete Blood Count with Differential and Platelets Test is a comprehensive blood test that checks red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelets. The differential analyzes types of white blood cells to detect infections, anemia, clotting abnormalities, immune conditions, and certain cancers. This essential test is often ordered for routine health exams, diagnosis, and monitoring treatment progress.

The Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) Test measures 21 markers to assess metabolic health, liver and kidney function, and electrolyte balance. It includes glucose, calcium, sodium, potassium, chloride, CO2, albumin, globulin, A/G ratio, total protein, bilirubin, ALP, AST, ALT, BUN, creatinine, BUN/creatinine ratio, and eGFR. The CMP helps detect diabetes, liver or kidney disease, and supports routine screening and chronic condition monitoring.

The Copper Micronutrient Plasma Test measures copper levels in the blood to evaluate nutritional status and detect deficiencies or excess. Copper is essential for red blood cell formation, connective tissue health, energy production, and nervous and immune system function. This test helps identify imbalances from poor diet, malabsorption, or toxicity, supporting diagnosis and management of overall health.

Patient must be 18 years of age or older.

The Copper Test measures copper levels in blood to evaluate nutritional status, liver function, and metabolic health. Abnormal levels may indicate Wilson’s disease, Menkes disease, liver disorders, or malnutrition. Both deficiency and excess copper can affect nervous system, immune function, and energy metabolism. Doctors use this test to investigate unexplained symptoms, monitor treatment, or assess copper-related disorders, providing key insight into overall health.

The Copper 24 Hour Urine Test evaluates copper elimination in urine across a full day, helping identify metabolic or liver-related disorders. Abnormal levels may signal Wilson’s disease, copper toxicity, or deficiency. By capturing copper output over 24 hours, the test provides insight into copper balance, aiding in the assessment of hepatic function, nutritional status, and the effects of excessive copper exposure.

The Copper RBC Test measures copper levels inside red blood cells, reflecting long-term copper status and cellular availability. Unlike serum copper, which can fluctuate, RBC copper gives a more accurate picture of tissue stores. Abnormal results may indicate copper deficiency, malnutrition, malabsorption, Wilson’s disease, or excess copper exposure. Doctors use this test to evaluate metabolic health, monitor treatment, and support diagnosis of mineral imbalances.

The Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide (CCP) IgG Antibody Test helps diagnose rheumatoid arthritis by detecting antibodies strongly linked to autoimmune joint disease. A positive result may indicate early or developing RA, even before symptoms appear. Doctors order this test for patients with joint pain, stiffness, or swelling. Results, often used with the rheumatoid factor (RF) test, provide valuable insight into autoimmune activity and long-term joint health management.

The DCP Test detects des-gamma-carboxy prothrombin, an abnormal form of prothrombin linked to hepatocellular carcinoma and other liver disorders. Elevated levels may reflect tumor activity, chronic liver disease, or cirrhosis. This test provides valuable information for assessing liver function, monitoring cancer progression, and evaluating systemic health in patients with hepatic disease.

The DNA (ds) Antibody Test detects double-stranded DNA antibodies, often linked to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and other autoimmune diseases. High levels may indicate lupus activity, kidney involvement, or autoimmune flare-ups. Doctors order this test for patients with joint pain, fatigue, rash, or suspected connective tissue disease. Results provide critical insight for diagnosing lupus, monitoring disease progression, and guiding treatment decisions.

The Ferritin Test measures ferritin, a protein that stores iron in the body, to evaluate iron levels and detect deficiency or overload. It helps diagnose anemia, iron deficiency, hemochromatosis, and chronic disease-related inflammation. Doctors often order the ferritin test to investigate fatigue, weakness, or unexplained symptoms. It is also used to monitor iron supplementation, treatment effectiveness, and overall iron metabolism health.

The Fibrinogen Antigen Test measures the amount of fibrinogen, a protein essential for blood clot formation and wound healing. Low levels may reflect bleeding disorders, liver disease, or fibrinolysis, while elevated levels are linked to inflammation and cardiovascular risk. This test provides insight into coagulation status, thrombotic risk, and systemic inflammation, supporting evaluation of clotting function and overall vascular health.

The Galectin-3 Test measures levels of galectin-3, a biomarker linked to heart failure, cardiac fibrosis, and inflammation. Elevated results may indicate worsening heart disease, increased risk of hospitalization, or progression of chronic conditions. Doctors use this blood test to assess heart health, guide treatment decisions, and monitor patients with heart failure, offering valuable insight into long-term cardiovascular risk and management.

The GGT Test measures gamma-glutamyl transferase, an enzyme found in the liver and bile ducts, to evaluate liver health. Elevated GGT may indicate liver disease, bile duct obstruction, alcohol use, or medication side effects. Doctors order this test to investigate symptoms like fatigue, jaundice, dark urine, or abdominal pain and to monitor liver damage. It is often performed with other liver tests to provide a complete picture of liver and bile duct function.

The Hepatic Function Panel Test measures liver enzymes, proteins, and bilirubin to assess liver health and function. It includes ALT, AST, ALP, albumin, total protein, and bilirubin levels. Abnormal results may indicate hepatitis, cirrhosis, fatty liver, or bile duct problems. Doctors use this test to investigate jaundice, nausea, abdominal pain, or fatigue and to monitor liver disease, alcohol use, or medication side effects affecting liver function.

The Liver Function Panel, also known as a Hepatic Function Panel, measures proteins, enzymes, and bilirubin to assess liver health and function. It helps detect liver disease, monitor liver conditions, and evaluate the effects of medications or other factors on liver performance.

The Hepatic Function Panel without Total Proteins Test measures key liver health markers, including albumin, bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, ALT, and AST. Doctors use this panel to detect liver disease, monitor damage from hepatitis, alcohol, or medications, and evaluate bile duct function. By excluding total protein, the test focuses on specific enzymes and metabolites that provide insight into liver performance and overall function.
