Blood tests can provide a wealth of information about your overall health and wellness. During a routine physical or yearly medical exam, Dr. Chandrasekaran may recommend some common blood tests, including any of the following:
Depending on the type of surgery you are having, your overall health, and how long it’s been since your last blood tests, you may require preoperative blood work. Fortunately, the certified phlebotomist at Aparna Medical Associates provides preoperative in-house blood testing. You can request that your blood samples be sent to the lab of your choice to save you time.
Typically, preoperative blood tests include a CBC to check your red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and mean corpuscular volume (MCV). The CBC is a comprehensive test that provides information to make sure you are healthy enough to undergo surgery. Presurgery blood work may also include tests that detail the health of your kidney, liver, and blood sugar.
Employers sometimes require blood and urine testing to determine if employees or potential employees have illegal drugs in their systems. Dr. Chandrasekaran and her highly skilled phlebotomist offer in-house employment blood and urine testing for your convenience. These types of blood tests measure the presence of certain drugs or alcohol in your blood, including amphetamines, cocaine, marijuana, methamphetamines, opiates, alcohol, and nicotine. Urine tests measure any residue of these substances even after the effects have worn off.
Whichever type of testing you require, you can count on the convenience of the in-house blood and urine testing at Aparna Medical Associates. Call or use the online scheduler to make an appointment today.
