Our state-of-the-art laboratory facilities and experienced medical professionals offer a wide range of specialized tests, allowing us to deliver accurate diagnoses and personalized care tailored to your unique needs.

The Importance of Comprehensive Lab Testing

Lab testing is a fundamental aspect of modern healthcare, providing valuable insights into a patient’s health status and aiding in the diagnosis, monitoring, and management of various medical conditions. At WNC Internal Medicine, we recognize the critical role that lab tests play in enhancing patient care and promoting proactive health management.

Our Extensive Lab Test Menu Includes:

  1. Aorta Scan (AAA Screen): This non-invasive screening assesses the abdominal aorta for the presence of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), a potentially life-threatening condition. Early detection through this screening can lead to timely intervention and prevent serious complications.
  2. ABI (Ankle-Brachial Index): ABI measures blood pressure in the ankles and arms to evaluate peripheral artery disease (PAD) and circulation issues. This test is crucial in assessing the risk of arterial blockages and identifying early signs of cardiovascular problems.
  3. Bladder Scan (Post-Void Residual): This test measures the amount of urine left in the bladder after urination, helping to assess bladder health and function. It is especially valuable in diagnosing urinary issues and guiding appropriate treatment.
  4. Body Composition Analysis: Our body composition analysis provides valuable data on fat mass, muscle mass, and water content in the body. This information is essential for weight management, optimizing nutrition, and monitoring overall health.
  5. ECG (Electrocardiogram): ECG records the electrical activity of the heart and is used to diagnose heart rhythm abnormalities and other cardiac issues. It is a valuable tool in assessing heart health and detecting potential cardiovascular concerns.
  6. Extensive Allergy Testing: We offer comprehensive allergy testing to identify specific allergens responsible for allergic reactions. This information allows us to create personalized treatment plans to effectively manage allergy symptoms.
  7. Heavy Metal Testing: Heavy metal testing measures the presence of toxic heavy metals in the body, such as lead, mercury, and arsenic. Identifying heavy metal toxicity is vital in preventing serious health complications.
  8. Pap Smears: Pap smears are essential for detecting abnormal cervical cells and early signs of cervical cancer. Regular screening with pap smears is crucial for women’s health and can lead to early detection and successful treatment.
  9. PFT (Pulmonary Function Test): PFT evaluates lung function, helping to diagnose and manage respiratory conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It allows us to assess lung capacity and identify breathing abnormalities
  10. Saliva Hormone Testing: Saliva hormone testing provides a non-invasive way to assess hormone levels and address hormonal imbalances. This test is particularly helpful for diagnosing conditions related to hormonal fluctuations.
