Blood Tests for Neurological Disorders

Specimen Type: Serum

 The Anemia Health - Advanced panel is a thorough diagnostic tool designed to evaluate various factors that contribute to anemia. This panel extends beyond basic anemia screening by including tests that assess inflammation, iron metabolism, red blood cell production, and potential hereditary conditions. It comprises C-Reactive Protein, Complete Blood Count with Differential and Platelets, Comprehensive Metabolic Panel, Ferritin, Folate Serum, Iron and Total Iron Binding Capacity, Reticulocyte Count, Sickle Cell Screen, and Transferrin.

Specimen Type: Blood, Serum

 The Anemia Health - Basic panel is a foundational diagnostic tool designed to evaluate the key components necessary for diagnosing anemia and understanding its potential causes. This panel includes a Complete Blood Count with Differential and Platelets, Iron and Total Iron Binding Capacity, and Transferrin tests. These tests provide crucial insights into the quantity and quality of red blood cells, iron availability, and iron transport capabilities within the body.

Specimen Type: Blood, Serum

 The Anemia Health - Basic Plus panel enhances the foundational assessment of anemia by incorporating additional tests that provide insights into inflammation and iron storage, alongside the essential evaluations of blood components and iron metabolism. This panel includes C-Reactive Protein, Complete Blood Count with Differential and Platelets, Comprehensive Metabolic Panel, Ferritin, Iron and Total Iron Binding Capacity, and Transferrin tests.

Specimen Type: Serum, Blood

 The Anemia Health - Comprehensive panel is the most extensive diagnostic suite offered for evaluating anemia and its underlying causes. This panel combines a wide array of tests, including markers for inflammation, iron metabolism, vitamin levels, and red blood cell production, to provide a thorough assessment of factors contributing to anemia. It includes C-Reactive Protein, Complete Blood Count with Differential and Platelets, Comprehensive Metabolic Panel, Erythropoietin, Fecal Globin by Immunochemistry, Ferritin, Folate Serum, Homocysteine, Iron and Total Iron Binding Capacity, Reticulocyte Count, Sickle Cell Screen, Transferrin, and Vitamin B12.

Specimen Type: Serum, Blood, Varied

Specimen Type: Serum

The C-Reactive Protein (CRP) Test measures CRP levels in blood to detect inflammation in the body. Elevated CRP may indicate infections, autoimmune disorders, or chronic diseases such as arthritis, cardiovascular disease, or inflammatory bowel disease. Doctors use this test to assess acute illness, monitor treatment response, and evaluate risk for heart disease. The CRP test provides key insight into inflammation, immune health, and overall wellness.

Specimen Type: Serum

The Carnitine Test measures carnitine levels in the blood to evaluate fatty acid metabolism and energy production. Abnormal results may indicate primary or secondary carnitine deficiency, often linked to metabolic disorders, malnutrition, or certain medications. Doctors use this test to investigate muscle weakness, hypoglycemia, or developmental delays and to monitor patients receiving treatment for metabolic or mitochondrial disease.

Specimen Type: Serum

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.

Specimen Type: Blood

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 Glucose Test measures blood sugar levels to evaluate energy metabolism and screen for diabetes or prediabetes. Abnormal glucose may indicate hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, or metabolic disorders. Doctors use this test during routine exams, to investigate symptoms like fatigue, excessive thirst, or frequent urination, and to monitor treatment for diabetes. It provides essential insight into how the body regulates blood sugar and overall metabolic health.

Specimen Type: Serum

Specimen Type: Serum

The Magnesium Micronutrient RBC Test measures magnesium levels within red blood cells, providing a more accurate assessment of long-term magnesium status than serum tests. Magnesium is vital for muscle and nerve function, energy production, bone strength, and heart health. This test helps detect deficiencies or imbalances from poor diet, absorption issues, or medical conditions, supporting overall wellness.

Patient must be 18 years of age or older.

Specimen Type: Other

The Magnesium RBC Test measures magnesium inside red blood cells, providing a more accurate assessment of magnesium status than serum tests. Magnesium is vital for energy production, muscle and nerve function, heart rhythm, and bone health. Low levels may cause fatigue, cramps, arrhythmias, or weakness, while high levels may signal kidney issues. Doctors order this test to detect deficiency, monitor therapy, and evaluate overall metabolic and nutritional health.

Specimen Type: Other

The Methylmalonic Acid (MMA) Blood Test measures MMA levels in the bloodstream to help detect vitamin B12 deficiency, often before anemia or neurological symptoms appear. Elevated results may indicate poor B12 absorption, pernicious anemia, or metabolic disorders. Doctors order this test when patients present with fatigue, neuropathy, or unexplained anemia. Results provide early insight into nutritional status, metabolic health, and treatment needs.

Specimen Type: Serum

The Methylmalonic Acid Urine Test measures MMA levels to help detect vitamin B12 deficiency and assess metabolic health. Elevated MMA indicates impaired B12-dependent enzyme function, which may lead to anemia or nervous system damage. Doctors order this test to investigate unexplained fatigue, weakness, or neurological symptoms. It is often used with serum B12 testing for early, accurate detection and monitoring of deficiency.
