How these statistics relate to laboratory testing
Laboratory results are one source of information clinicians use when evaluating and monitoring many health concerns. The right tests, timing, and follow-up depend on a person's health history, symptoms, medicines, and the direction of their care team.
Treasure Coast Diagnostic Laboratory provides routine blood testing and can discuss practical appointment questions. Patients who have an order or preparation instructions should bring them to the visit.
