Specialty Labs

Many people are familiar with routine blood work tests their medical doctors may run. Some find their test results are normal despite experiencing unpleasant symptoms. This can be frustrating, because they hoped the test results would indicate how to resolve their problems.

Routine blood work often detects definite diseases and is not as useful for mild symptoms. Because health and disease are on a continuum, people frequently experience symptoms before a solid disease is present.

The specialty labs listed below are quite helpful in finding abnormalities where routine blood work does not. These labs are useful in detecting problem areas before a disease has fully developed.
