Laboratory testing is often a useful addition to a thorough medical history and physical examination when evaluating general health or illness.  Parkway Family Physicians has a COLA inspected and CLIA approved laboratory.  Lab tests performed in our clinic include:

Hemoglobin White Count/Differential Urinalysis Mononucleosis Screening H. Pylori Screen Influenza Testing Pregnancy Testing

Cultures (throat, urine, wound) Hemoglobin A1c   INR Glucose Urine Microalbumin IFOBT/Occult Fecal Blood Testing

 
Many other necessary lab tests are done through our affiliation with St. Joseph’s Hospital Lab who courier our blood samples on a twice daily or emergency basis.

A particularly helpful website dealing with lab testing in general is, Lab Tests Online.  Lab Tests Online has been designed to help you to better understand the many clinical lab tests that are part of routine care as well as diagnosis and treatment of a broad range of conditions and diseases.

Open test index, select the test in question, then review information about that test including links to related diseases.  There is also an index of conditions where individual diseases/conditions are described in detail.
