Individual tests

A complete blood count is a common blood test that is often part of a routine checkup. This test can help detect a variety of disorders, including infections, anemia, immune system disease, and blood cancers.
A complete blood count is a common blood test in routine checkups. This test can help detect various disorders, including infections and anemia. A reticulocyte count measures the number of immature red blood cells (reticulocytes) in your bone marrow to find out if you are producing enough red blood cells.
Copper is an essential mineral that the body incorporates into enzymes. These enzymes play a role in the regulation of iron metabolism, the formation of connective tissue, energy production within cells, and the function of the nervous system. The test helps diagnose and monitor Wilson disease, sometimes identifying a copper deficiency or excess.
Cortisol is a hormone made by your adrenal glands, two small glands that sit above the kidneys. It affects almost every organ and tissue in your body that help respond to stress, reduce inflammation, regulate blood sugar, or control blood pressure.

DHEAS is important in testosterone and estrogen production. It plays a role in the development of male sexual characteristics at puberty. DHEAS is mostly made in the adrenal glands. Smaller amounts of DHEAS are made in a man’s testicles and a woman’s ovaries. Abnormal DHEAS levels may suggest a problem with your adrenal glands, testicles, or ovaries.
The direct Coombs test detects antibodies stuck to the surface of red blood cells. Many diseases and drugs can cause this to happen. These antibodies sometimes destroy red blood cells, causing anemia. Your healthcare provider may recommend this test if you have signs or symptoms of anemia or jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes).
Estradiol, the most important form of estrogen, plays a vital role in sexual development. This test is used to determine the cause of early or late puberty, evaluate how the ovaries function, and monitor the progression of pregnancy or fertility treatment.
A blood alcohol test may be used for many purposes, including legal evidence, testing for alcohol poisoning, or monitoring treatment for alcohol abuse. This test also helps identify the cause of an unknown coma since alcohol intoxication can mimic a diabetic coma, cerebral trauma, or drug overdose.
Testosterone is known as a "male" sex hormone, but females also have smaller amounts. It causes body hair, muscle growth, and a deepening voice after puberty in males. It controls sex drive, muscle mass, and helps make sperm. In females, testosterone is important for the growth of bones and muscles. A free testosterone levels test can help diagnose early or delayed puberty.
FSH works closely with another hormone called LH to control sexual functions. In women, these tests help find the cause of infertility, assess ovarian function, find the reason for irregular or stopped menstrual periods, and confirm the start of menopause or perimenopause. In men, these tests can find the cause of infertility, the reason for a low sperm count, or a problem with the testicles. In children, these tests can help diagnose early or delayed puberty.
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is a genetic disorder affecting red blood cells, which carry oxygen from the lungs to tissues throughout the body. The disease can cause hemolysis, where red blood cells are destroyed faster than the body can replace them.
