CBC
The CBC is used as a broad screening test to check for such disorders as anemia, infection, and many other diseases. It is actually a panel of tests that examines different parts of the blood and includes: White Blood Cell count, White blood cell differential, Red Blood Cell Count, Platelets Count, Hemoglobin, Hematoicrit, Red cell distribution width, among other things.
CHEM 24
A large part of the laboratory report examines chemicals in your blood and identifies whether body processes are working correctly. Typically, 24 of these values are included in a "Chem 24 report," also known as a SMAC or SMA20. Your physician or clinical nurse manager may be able to help you decipher your lab values. Chemistry panels should be administered once a year if you're not taking medication, more often if you are.

Cholesterol Profile (lipids)

A coronary risk profile involves a battery of blood tests to evaluate cholesterol and triglycerides. These are indicators of risk for heart disease.he blood is analyzed by the laboratory to determine the levels of:

* Triglycerides
* LDL (low density lipoprotein) cholesterol
* HDL (high density lipoprotein) cholesterol
* Total cholesterol
* Serum VLDL (very low density lipoprotein) cholesterol
Lead Levels & ZPP

Zinc protoporphyrin is primarily ordered to help detect iron deficiency in children and to detect and monitor chronic exposure to lead in adults.

ZPP also may be ordered, along with a lead level, to test for chronic lead exposure. Hobbyists who work with products containing lead and people who live in older houses may be at an increased risk of developing lead poisoning. This is because lead is usually ingested or inhaled. Those who inhale dust that contains lead, handle lead directly and then eat, or in the case of children, eat paint chips that contain lead (common in houses built prior to 1960) can have elevated levels of lead and ZPP in their body. In an industrial setting, the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) mandates the use of the ZPP test and strongly recommends that a ZPP test be ordered every time that a lead level is ordered to monitor an employee?s exposure to lead. Both are necessary because ZPP will not reflect recent or acute lead exposure, and it does not change quickly when a person?s source of lead exposure is removed. ZPP is best at detecting a person's average exposure to lead over the last 3-4 months.

Cholinesterase
Serum cholinesterase is a blood test that looks at certain enzymes (acetylcholinesterase and pseudocholinesterase) that help the nervous system work properly. This test is performed to see if an individual has been exposed to organophosphates, which are used in pesticides.
Methemeglobin
A methemeglobin test is a rare test performed on individuals suspected of having nitrates poisioning.
Heavy Metals
These blood and urine test can detect overexposures or accumulations to a variety of metals and toxins such as arsenic, zinc, lead, copper, and mercury.
Cadmium
This test measures the amount of cadmium in the blood stream. Cadmium is a lustrous, hard, steel gray metallic element used in steel alloys and stainless steel, battery production, paint, pigments and bakeware, electronic equipment, car parts, batteries, phosphate fertilizer, sludge applications in agriculture, contaminated food. ..and rust-proofing materials. Cadmium can be toxic to humans.
U/A (Urinalysis)
The urinalysis is used as a screening or diagnostic used to help detect substances or cellular material in the urine associated with different metabolic and kidney disorders. Urinalyses can detect a myriad of abnormalities in the body including blood disorders, diabetes, drug use, and pregnancy among other things.
PPD (Tuberculosis)
The tuberculosis skin test (also known as the tuberculin or PPD test) is a test used to determine if someone has developed an immune response to the bacterium that causes tuberculosis (TB). Tuberculosis is an infectious disease of the lung that is caused by the organism Mycobacterium tuberculosis and is transmitted by the airborne spread of droplets containing tubercle bacilli.
