Blood Testing Laurence Harbor, New Jersey
A blood test performed in Laurence Harbor, NJ is a laboratory analysis performed on a blood sample that is usually extracted from a vein in the arm using a hypodermic needle, or via fingerprick. Multiple tests for specific blood components, such as a glucose test or a cholesterol test, are often grouped together into one test panel called a blood panel or blood work. Blood tests are often used in health care to determine physiological and biochemical states, such as disease, mineral content, pharmaceutical drug effectiveness, and organ function. Typical clinical blood panels include a basic metabolic panel or a complete blood count. Blood tests are also used in drug tests to detect drug abuse.
A basic metabolic panel measures sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), magnesium, creatinine, glucose, and sometimes calcium. Tests that focus on cholesterol levels can determine LDL and HDL cholesterol levels, as well as triglyceride levels.
Some tests, such as those that measure glucose or a lipid profile, require fasting (or no food consumption) eight to twelve hours prior to the drawing of the blood sample.
For the majority of tests, blood is usually obtained from the patient's vein. Other specialized tests, such as the arterial blood gas test, require blood extracted from an artery. Blood gas analysis of arterial blood is primarily used to monitor carbon dioxide and oxygen levels related to pulmonary function, but is also used to measure blood pH and bicarbonate levels for certain metabolic conditions.[While the regular glucose test is taken at a certain point in time, the glucose tolerance test involves repeated testing to determine the rate at which glucose is processed by the body.
Laboratory Testing In Laurence Harbor, New Jersey
Our laboratory testing locations in Laurence Harbor, NJ provide a wide range of certified laboratory test analysis. Some test results can be affected by certain foods and medications.

Common Lab Tests Performed at our Laurence Harbor, New Jersey Testing Facilities Include:
- Complete Blood Count. This test, also known as a CBC, is the most common blood test performed.
- Prothrombin Time. Also known as PT and Pro Time, this test measures how long it takes blood to clot.

- Comprehensive Metabolic Panel.
- Lipid Panel.

- Hemoglobin A1C.
All laboratory testing that is performed on humans in the United States (except testing done in clinical trials and other types of human research) is regulated through the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA), which were passed by Congress in 1988. The CLIA laboratory certification program is administered by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in conjunction with the FDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. CLIA ensures that laboratory staff are appropriately trained and supervised and that testing laboratories have quality control programs in place so that test results are accurate and reliable.
STD Testing Laurence Harbor, New Jersey
Our local Laurence Harbor, New Jersey STD testing centers provide multiple STD tests for individuals who may have been exposed to or showing symptoms of an STD. Millions of Americans have some form of an STD and our testing is provided in a confidential manner. STD tests may be ordered for one specific type of test or you may order a multiple panel test which includes several STD tests. STD stands for Sexually Transmitted Disease, also known as STI or Sexually Transmitted Infection, meaning that these diseases are most often, but not exclusively, spread by sexual intercourse.
STDs are passed from one person to another through sexual activity which can include vaginal intercourse, anal intercourse and/or anal intercourse. Though not as common, STDs can also be transmitted through intimate physical contact such as heavy petting.
STDs do not always cause symptoms, or they may only cause mild symptoms. This makes it very possible to have an infection and not know it. Therefore, if you are sexually active it is important to get tested at least once a year.

AI Overview
Laboratory Blood Testing: An Essential Overview
Laboratory blood testing is a fundamental tool in medical diagnostics, offering critical insights into the physiological and pathological conditions of the body. These tests are commonly used to evaluate health, diagnose diseases, and monitor medical treatments. This overview highlights the importance, common types of blood tests, and what individuals can expect during the testing process.
Importance of Blood Testing
Blood tests are vital for early detection and management of diseases. They help in assessing the functioning of various organs such as the liver, kidneys, and thyroid, and are essential in diagnosing conditions like diabetes, anemia, and heart disease. Regular blood testing can aid in the early detection of health issues, allowing for timely intervention.
Common Types of Blood Tests
- Complete Blood Count (CBC): Measures the levels of various blood cells like red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. This test is crucial for diagnosing conditions such as anemia and infections.
- Blood Chemistry Panels: Includes tests such as liver panels, kidney panels, and electrolyte testing which assess the functionality of these organs and electrolyte balance.
- Lipid Panel: Used to determine the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood, important for assessing heart disease risk.
- Blood Glucose Tests: Measures blood sugar levels to manage and diagnose diabetes.
- Coagulation Panel: Assesses blood clotting ability and can help diagnose clotting disorders or monitor blood thinning medications.
What to Expect During a Blood Test
- Preparation: Some tests require fasting or other specific conditions before sample collection. It's important to follow all preparatory instructions provided by the healthcare provider.
- Collection Process: A healthcare professional will draw blood, usually from a vein in the arm, using a small needle. The process is quick and causes minimal discomfort.
- Results: The time to receive test results can vary depending on the type of test. Results are typically available within a few days and will be discussed with the healthcare provider to interpret what they mean for the individual’s health.
Benefits of Regular Blood Testing
Regular blood testing provides numerous benefits:
- Health Monitoring: Helps track health changes over time, providing insights into how lifestyle, diet, and age affect body functions.
- Disease Management: Essential for managing chronic conditions, allowing adjustments in treatment plans based on test results.
- Preventive Care: Identifies risk factors early, enabling preventive measures to be taken before the onset of more serious conditions.
Laboratory blood testing is a key component in healthcare management, playing a crucial role in diagnosing, monitoring, and preventing diseases. Understanding the types and purposes of various blood tests can help individuals actively participate in their healthcare decisions.
