Understanding Lab Tests

Patients don't always understand why their physician has ordered a particular laboratory test. Now a Web-based resource -- Lab Tests Online-- can help.

The Web site serves up peer-reviewed educational information about a host of laboratory topics that range from descriptions of specific tests to the patient's role in preparing for those tests.

Users can just browse the site, or conduct a search by lab test name or by condition or disease.

Lab Tests Online has been designed to help you, as a patient or family caregiver, to better understand the many clinical lab tests that are part of routine care -- as well as diagnosis and treatment of a broad range of conditions and diseases.
