Doctors use it to investigate anemia, unexplained blood abnormalities, or family history of hemoglobinopathies, guiding diagnosis, genetic counseling, and treatment planning.

The Folate RBC Test measures folate levels inside red blood cells, providing a more accurate reflection of long-term folate status than serum tests. Folate is essential for DNA synthesis, red blood cell production, and nervous system health. Low levels may indicate poor diet, malabsorption, or anemia. Doctors order this test for patients with fatigue, weakness, or neurological issues. Results help diagnose folate deficiency and guide nutritional treatment.

The Lactic Acid Plasma Test measures lactic acid levels in the blood to help evaluate oxygen delivery, metabolic function, and tissue health. Elevated levels may signal hypoxia, sepsis, shock, heart failure, or severe infection, while mild increases can occur with intense exercise. Doctors use this test to assess critically ill patients, guide urgent treatment, and monitor metabolic or circulatory disorders for timely medical intervention.

The Apolipoprotein A1 and B Test measures Apo A1, the main protein in HDL cholesterol, and Apo B, the primary protein in LDL and VLDL cholesterol. Together, these markers and the ApoB/A1 ratio provide a clearer picture of cardiovascular risk than standard lipid panels. High ApoB or low Apo A1 may signal heart disease, stroke, or atherosclerosis. Doctors use this test to evaluate cholesterol balance, monitor therapy, and guide prevention of cardiovascular conditions.

The Red Blood Cell Count Test measures the number of red blood cells circulating in the blood, essential for evaluating oxygen transport and overall health. Abnormal levels may indicate anemia, iron deficiency, vitamin B12 or folate deficiency, dehydration, or bone marrow disorders. This test provides critical insight into hematologic health and is often part of a complete blood count to guide further evaluation.

The Sickle Cell Screen detects abnormal hemoglobin S in blood to identify sickle cell trait or sickle cell disease. A positive screen suggests the presence of sickle hemoglobin, which may require confirmatory testing. Doctors order this test for newborn screening, genetic counseling, or evaluating anemia, pain crises, or family history of hemoglobin disorders. Results provide key insight into sickle cell status, red blood cell health, and hereditary blood conditions.

The Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) Test measures ApoB, the main protein in LDL and VLDL cholesterol, to assess cardiovascular risk. Elevated ApoB is linked to atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, heart attack, and stroke. Low levels may reflect liver disease or malnutrition. Doctors often order this test with lipid panels or Apo A1 to calculate the ApoB/A1 ratio, providing a more accurate picture of cholesterol balance, cardiovascular health, and risk for heart disease.

The Cardio IQ™ Apolipoprotein B Test measures ApoB, the main protein in LDL and other atherogenic lipoproteins. Elevated ApoB levels are linked to higher cardiovascular risk. This test provides a more precise assessment of heart disease risk than standard cholesterol tests and helps guide treatment decisions.

The Cardio IQ™ Apolipoprotein Evaluation Test measures both ApoA1, the main protein in HDL, and ApoB, the main protein in LDL and other atherogenic lipoproteins. The balance between these markers provides a detailed assessment of cardiovascular risk, lipid metabolism, and helps guide heart disease prevention and treatment.

The Nicotine and Cotinine Serum/Plasma Test measures levels of nicotine and its metabolite cotinine in the blood to evaluate tobacco exposure. Cotinine provides a reliable marker due to its longer half-life, distinguishing active smoking from secondhand smoke exposure. This test supports assessment of nicotine dependence, monitoring of cessation efforts, and evaluation of environmental or occupational smoke exposure.

The Vitamin B12 and Folate Panel Test measures blood levels of vitamin B12 and folate to evaluate nutritional status, red blood cell production, and nervous system health. Deficiencies may cause anemia, fatigue, weakness, neuropathy, or cognitive decline, while elevated levels can indicate liver or kidney disease. Doctors use this panel to diagnose deficiency, monitor therapy, and assess absorption disorders such as pernicious anemia, Crohn’s disease, or celiac disease.

The Vitamin B12 Test measures cobalamin levels in blood to evaluate nutritional health, red blood cell production, and nervous system function. Low B12 can cause anemia, fatigue, weakness, memory problems, and nerve damage, while high levels may indicate liver or kidney disease. Doctors use this test to detect B12 deficiency, monitor treatment, and assess malabsorption conditions like pernicious anemia, Crohn’s disease, or celiac disease.

The White Blood Cell Count with Differential Test measures total white blood cells and breaks them into types, including neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils. Doctors order this test to evaluate infections, inflammation, immune disorders, and blood cancers. Abnormal results may suggest bacterial or viral infections, allergies, or leukemia. Results provide key insight into immune system health, disease detection, and treatment monitoring.

The Alpha-1-Antitrypsin Quantitative Test measures levels of alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT), a protein that protects the lungs and liver from damage. Low levels may indicate alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency, a genetic disorder linked to emphysema, COPD, and liver disease. Doctors use this test to investigate unexplained lung or liver problems, confirm hereditary AAT deficiency, and guide treatment or monitoring strategies for long-term health management.

The ALT Test measures alanine aminotransferase, an enzyme mainly found in the liver. Elevated ALT may indicate liver damage from hepatitis, fatty liver disease, cirrhosis, alcohol use, or medication effects. Doctors order this test to evaluate symptoms such as fatigue, abdominal pain, or jaundice and often pair it with AST for accurate liver assessment. Results provide essential insight into liver health, enzyme activity, and overall metabolic function.

The Haptoglobin Test measures levels of haptoglobin, a protein produced by the liver that binds free hemoglobin released from red blood cells. Low levels may indicate hemolytic anemia, liver disease, or red blood cell destruction, while elevated levels may occur with inflammation or tissue damage. Doctors use this blood test to help diagnose anemia causes, assess liver function, and monitor conditions affecting red blood cell health.

The Hemogram and Differential Test provides a detailed analysis of blood health by measuring red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelets.
