ObGyn Lab Tests Center

There are a number of blood tests and urine tests (urinalysis) that may be used to diagnose or manage various women's conditions. Some provide a picture of overall health, such as the CBC (complete blood count). Others (e.g., ELISA test) are used to diagnose particular conditions. Genetic tests and pregnancy tests are important components of pregnancy planning.
