Unlocking Vital Health Information: The Power of Laboratory Testing at Harper Health

At Harper Health, a premier concierge medicine practice in Chicago, we advocate for a proactive rather than reactive approach to health management. An essential tool in this proactive approach is laboratory testing.

Understanding Laboratory Testing

Have you ever wondered what happens to the blood sample you provide during your routine check-up? Or why your doctor requests for a urine test every once in awhile? These are examples of laboratory tests, carried out in a controlled environment to analyze biological samples, extrapolate data, and provide insightful information about your health. Laboratory tests can provide a detailed understanding of how well your body's systems are functioning, and can flag potential health risks early before they become problematic.

How Does Laboratory Testing Benefit You?

Regular laboratory testing through Harper Health can help manage and mitigate health risks. Here are a few ways these tests could help you:

• Detect diseases and conditions early: Many prevalent diseases like diabetes, heart disease, or cancer can often go unnoticed until it is late as they rarely show significant symptoms. Regular laboratory testing can help in their early detection.

• Monitor disease progression: If you have an existing health condition, regular tests can track the disease progression or monitor the effectiveness of your treatments.

• Evaluate organ function: Tests can ascertain how well organs like the liver, kidneys, or thyroid are working, and help detect possible malfunctions.
