Low-Cost Blood Profile screening is July 14 in Ashland
Many healthcare providers recommend patients undergo routine blood screening regularly. At King's Daughters, we're pleased to make access to these tests easy, with our Low-Cost Blood Profile program.
The screening returns to our Center for Advanced Imaging, 8 to 11 a.m. Friday, July 14. No physician order or appointment needed. However, fasting is required.
The LCBP includes the most commonly ordered lab tests, including:
- Complete Blood Count: Screens for and monitors conditions that affect the blood cells, including anemia, infection, inflammation, blood disorders and some types of cancer.
- Comprehensive Metabolic Panel: Provides information about the current status of the metabolism, including kidneys and liver; electrolyte and acid/base balance; blood glucose levels; and blood proteins.
- Lipid Panel: Includes measures of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol (bad); HDL cholesterol (good); and triglycerides.
- Thyroid Stimulating Hormone: Screens for and aids in the diagnosis of thyroid disorders, including both low and high function.
Total cost for all of these tests is just $25; no physician order is needed.
We also offer optional A1C testing for just $5. The A1C test provides information about the average levels of blood glucose over the past three months. The A1C is an important tool in the management of diabetes.
