Laboratory tests are ordered for many different reasons; because of a problem you’ve reported to your doctor, to check on a condition that has already been diagnosed, or maybe to see how you’re responding to prescribed medication. These are just some of the reasons why your doctor might ask for a lab test.
As well, the same test or combinations of tests may be ordered for different reasons. Our staff cannot answer any questions about why your doctor has ordered a certain test or what (s)he is looking for. Your doctor is the best person to speak with to answer any questions you may have.
