Risk for Disease
One of the good things about medical testing is that it can alert you to diseases. Doctors can check your cholesterol levels to understand if you are at risk for any cardiovascular disease. Your blood indicates whether or not you might need to take preventative steps to avoid diabetes.
Basic Health Information
A blood test can give you an overview of your health by measuring the minerals in your blood and the condition of your blood cells. This tells you whether or not you're getting enough of essential minerals such as calcium. It also makes sure that your blood is functioning the way it is supposed to.
Current Infections
If you have been feeling under the weather, a doctor might request a blood test to make sure you don't have a virus. You can learn if you have the flu and other viral bugs this way, as your immune systems reaction will appear in your blood.
Although the idea of medical tests might not sound appealing, they can offer new information about your health. Call Cedar Grove Medical Associates LLC to learn more about medical lab testing.
