A Complete Blood Count will check the levels of hemoglobin, hematocrit, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. This will check for different diseases such as anemia. The other test that examines the blood is the Comprehensive Metabolic Panel. Done during the Basic Health Screening; if anything is wrong another diagnosis for lab work would be recommended.

Even if a person does have some heart problems starting a new lifestyle will tremendously improve the heart. There are many different blood tests that can be done.

Being regularly checked for heart disease will help to catch a problem if one arises fast.
Prostate Testing
Since prostate cancer is the number two leading most common cancer in men; a Prostate Specific Antigen blood test would be the way to go. Health Testing Centers will perform this test for men of the right age. The annual testing that starts for the prostate is at the age of 50, high risk men should get tested starting at the age of 40. The male patient will then determine if the levels are too high or too low for them.
Thyroid Testing
Thyroid Function Tests are performed to determine the levels of the thyroid. Establishing the base line for the patient’s levels will help with the suitable treatment. There are multiple symptoms that could lead to a problem in the thyroid which would require testing to be done. Having these tests performed could help save a patient’s live.
Liver Testing
Multiple tests are performed to determine if there is any serious damage to the liver. These tests can range from 40 dollars to 230 dollars through Health Testing Center. Damage to the liver can come from multiple things, the most common one being that of alcohol. Having the Liver Function Test done will help determine how serious the damage is and what type of treatment can be done.
Cancer Testing
Cancer Testing should be done with any person who is at risk for cancer or who has had anyone in their family has had a previous diagnosis with cancer. The blood tests to be done that will test for any of the cancer markers are Carcinoembryonic Antigen, Cancer Antigen 19-9, Cancer Antigen 27.29, Cancer Antigen 125, and Alpha-Fetoprotein. These tests can detect certain markers in the blood that can indicate the type of cancer it could be. Having these tests done sooner rather than later will help with an early diagnosis if one is necessary.
Hormone Testing
Before starting any anti-aging therapies, it is very important to test DHEA and testosterone levels as well as HGH and IGF-1, to name a few. Women are the ones who get the anti-aging tests done more. This is because they want to know if they are close to menopause. Establishing a level of the hormones will help with the appropriate treatment.
