Lab Values & Testing

Lab tests, like blood or urine tests, are important tools your healthcare team uses to understand what's happening inside your body. The results, called 'lab values,' help them diagnose conditions, monitor your treatment, and track changes in your health over time. Understanding these results can help you have more informed conversations with your doctor and participate actively in your care. Here, you can learn about common lab tests, what some of the numbers might mean, and how to discuss your results with your healthcare provider.
