Lab Testing Through Your Primary Care Provider
Blood and urine tests can provide information that may not be available through a physical examination alone.
Laboratory testing may be used to:
- Screen for common health conditions
- Evaluate new symptoms
- Monitor chronic medical conditions
- Check blood sugar and A1C
- Measure cholesterol and triglycerides
- Evaluate kidney and liver function
- Check blood counts
- Monitor certain medications
- Evaluate thyroid function
- Follow up on previous abnormal results
Not every patient needs the same testing. Your provider will recommend laboratory tests based on your individual healthcare needs.
Common Blood Tests
Depending on your health history and reason for testing, commonly ordered laboratory tests may include:
Diabetes & Blood Sugar Testing
Blood glucose and A1C testing can help screen for and monitor prediabetes and diabetes.
For patients who already have diabetes, regular laboratory testing can help your provider monitor blood
sugar control and determine whether changes to your treatment plan may be needed.
Cholesterol & Lipid Testing
A lipid panel measures cholesterol and triglycerides and can help assess cardiovascular risk.
If your results are abnormal, your provider can discuss nutrition, exercise, weight management, and
medication when appropriate.
Complete Blood Count
A complete blood count (CBC) measures different types of blood cells and may be used as part of an evaluation for anemia, infection, or other medical concerns.
Kidney & Liver Function Testing
Blood tests can help evaluate how well your kidneys and liver are functioning.
These tests may also be important when monitoring certain chronic conditions or medications.
Thyroid Testing
Thyroid blood tests may be recommended when evaluating symptoms or monitoring an existing thyroid condition.
Your provider will determine whether thyroid testing is appropriate based on your medical history,
symptoms, and current medications.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to fast before my blood test?
It depends on the test. Fasting glucose tests usually require about 8 hours of fasting, while many other tests do not. Your provider will tell you whether fasting is needed.

Most routine results are available within 2-3 business days. Your provider will review your results and contact you or discuss them at your follow-up visit.
