Blood Disease Testing
Problems with your blood can include disorders like anemia or issues with blood clotting, as well as some cancers like leukemia, lymphoma or myeloma. While all blood tests examine what’s in your blood, certain tests can look for problems indicating you have a blood disease. The primary test to do this is called a CBC.
Complete Blood Count (CBC)
A complete blood count (CBC) is one of the most common blood tests requested for patients, especially those who may be showing signs of a blood disorder or cancer. A CBC is also often drawn during a standard physical as a baseline “blood check.”
A CBC measures your:
- Red blood cells (RBCs)
- White blood cells (WBCs)
- Platelets
A CBC report will also come with a WBC differential which measures the different white blood cells in your blood, too.
Your test report will show the normal ranges and percentages, and where your levels fall. Based on your report, your doctor will be able to explain what your CBC report means and possibly run more tests.
Anemia Panel
A common sign something isn’t right in your blood is anemia. If you struggle with fatigue or if you suspect you’re anemic, here’s a common panel we can recommend:
- Complete Blood Count with Differential/Platelet Count
- Ferritin, Serum
- Folic Acid, Folate
- Iron, (Fe) Serum
- TIBC, Total Iron Binding Capacity
- Reticulocyte count
- Vitamin B12
You’re encouraged to take your test results to a doctor to discuss, or we can fax them for you too.

Taming Lab Costs
When many people think of laboratory blood tests, they imagine making an appointment at their doctor’s office, taking time off work, paying large fees, and waiting around in the lobby for who knows how long. Then, you have to wait around for days to get a call from a nurse with your results.
Saving Money by Shopping for Affordable Lab Testing
Let’s face it: health care is outrageously expensive in America, and the costs have been on the rise over the last couple of decades. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average consumer spent $4,968 on health care in 2018. Your health care costs may vary depending on your health insurance (or lack of it), but very few people find medical costs reasonable, especially when additional lab charges are billed after a medical visit.
Lab Testing as an Integral Part of Your Overall Fitness & Health Program
Finding one particular definition of fitness or health is challenging. According to several dictionaries, fitness means – the state or quality of being fit. Well, fitness can mean different things for different people. But, one thing is certain for many, overall fitness is all about being healthier and feeling better.
How Should I Prepare?
A Complete Blood Count test is simple and quick. If the only test you are receiving is a CBC, you may eat and drink as normal, and go about your usual activities as soon as you are finished.
One of these tests might be ordered by your doctor as part of physical examination. However, depending on the results, your doctor may request more tests.
What will a CBC detect?
A CBC can detect certain things such as blood cancers, other diseases, and can help understand if a person’s body is responding to cancer treatment. Specific things a CBC can identify are as follows:
- Anemia
- Autoimmune conditions
- Bone marrow problems
- Dehydration
- Cancer
- Leukemia
- Infection
- Inflammation
- Vitamin and mineral deficiencies
The first step to treating any of these diseases is always to identify it. Let Test Smartly Labs help you, and contact us today.

Do You Need A List Of My Medications For A Drug Test?
- Per protocol, the lab techs are not allowed to receive or ask for your medications. A medical review officer or MRO, a licensed physician who specializes in toxicology, will call you and ask for your medications and your physician’s phone number if it’s detected in your sample during testing. The MRO will then call your physician to verify your medications.
