What types of tests are available through lab services?

Peaks Medical and Urgent Care offers basic lab services. Types of testing may include:

Basic metabolic panel (BMP)

BMP is a blood test that measures your blood’s glucose, calcium, and electrolyte levels, as well as blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatine. This test assesses hydration, electrolyte balance, and kidney function.

Urinalysis

Urinalysis is a basic lab test that measures your urine’s acidity, as well as levels of protein, sugar, and bilirubin. This test gives general information about health and organ function. 

A urinalysis may also check for bacteria or yeast to diagnose a urinary tract infection (UTI). 

Complete blood count (CBC)

CBC measures blood cell counts, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. This provides a general overview of health and nutrition status and finds health problems like anemia and infections. 

COVID-19 testing
