This device performs hematology tests (CBC). A complete blood count checks the blood tests themselves. It measures the number of different types of blood cells, their sizes, and their appearance. It is a very common and useful blood test. This test is usually done to see if you have anemia (too few red blood cells) or to see if you have a high level of white blood cells, which is often a sign of infection. Our laboratory can perform urinalyses and also the blood test called a Hemoglobin A1C, which is used in the care of people who have diabetes. The hemoglobin A1C percentage is a way of looking at your average blood sugar control over a 2 to 3 month period. |
