A blood test can reveal a lot about your health—even before symptoms appear. Knowing which tests exist and what they're for helps you take better care of yourself.
Why get blood tests?
Tests help catch problems early, follow up on a chronic condition or complete an immigration, work or school exam.
The most common tests
- Complete blood count (CBC): evaluates your red and white cells and platelets.
- Blood chemistry: measures glucose, kidney and liver function.
- Lipid panel: cholesterol and triglycerides.
- Thyroid tests: check how your thyroid is working.
Do I need to fast?
Some tests require 8 to 12 hours of fasting (like glucose and cholesterol) and others don't. Ask us when you schedule and we'll tell you how to prepare.
Fast results
In most cases we deliver results the same day and explain them in Spanish, without jargon, so you understand what they mean.
