When do I need a blood test?
There are many reasons that your Pikeville Urgent Care & Body Boutique care provider might recommend a blood test. Typically, only a small amount of blood is needed, and your care provider uses a very fine needle, so it’s virtually pain-free.
Some of the most common blood tests include complete blood count, lipids panel, liver panel, and basic metabolic panel. You may need a blood test if you have symptoms of anemia, mononucleosis, or another health problem, to verify pregnancy, or if you’re starting a new medicine like weight loss medication.
When do I need a urinalysis?
A urinalysis is a quick and easy lab test that can help your care provider diagnose a variety of conditions and problems. Your Pikeville Urgent Care & Body Boutique care provider may perform a urinalysis for drug testing, to verify pregnancy, to screen for diabetes, or to check for a urinary tract infection, or for many other reasons.
How does flu testing work?
Flu testing is usually a simple swab test. Your Pikeville Urgent Care & Body Boutique care provider swabs either your nasal passages or throat to collect a sample for the test. If you have symptoms like cough, sore throat, and runny nose, you may need this simple test to determine whether it’s a common cold or the flu, so your care provider can recommend the best recovery plan.
How long does it take to get results from lab testing?
It can vary by test, but you’ll usually get same-day results. For some conditions or illnesses, you may need more in-depth testing, so the results could take longer. Often, you’ll get results almost right away, and your Pikeville Urgent Care & Body Boutique care provider can prescribe the treatment you need on the spot.
