Individual Testing

The Basic Wellness Screening is the best and most commonly used screening to evaluate an individual’s overall health status. The Basic Wellness Screening is utilized in routine physical’s in addition, other testing may be required depending on an individual’s risk factors and biological sex.

Testing is utilized to assess symptoms related to iron deficiency anemia. Symptoms include weakness, dizziness, headaches, chronic fatigue, and pale skin. Fasting may be required before testing

Evaluates the level and function of fibrinogen in relation to possible bleeding disorders, abnormal bleeding disorders, abnormal fibrinolysis, and sometimes used to determine an individual’s overall risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Two types of testing are commonly used to evaluate Fibrinogen.

Fibrinogen Activity:

Measures the ability and function of fibrinogen to convert into insoluble fibrin.

Fibrinogen Antigen:

Determines if decreased fibrinogen activity is caused by insufficient fibrinogen or dysfunctional fibrinogen.

Evaluates the thyroid gland function and helps diagnose hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism. Useful in monitoring treatment of an individual with a known thyroid disorder.

In conjunction with other hormone testing the FSH test evaluates the cause of infertility issues, helps diagnose conditions associated with the dysfunction of reproductive organs (ovaries or testicles), and aids in the diagnosis of pituitary or hypothalamic disorders.

Screens for the Hepatitis B virus and confirms immunity to the virus through the presence of the Hepatitis B antibodies and antigens. The transmission has been linked to drug usage (sharing of contaminated needles), unprotected sexual encounters, and health care workers exposed to infected blood.

Screens for IgM antibodies in the blood. The transmission has been linked to the consuming of contaminated food or water.

Screens and diagnose an infection of the Hepatitis C virus as well as help monitor virus treatment. The transmission has been linked to recipients of infected blood procedures, drug use, HIV infections, tattoos or piercings.
