What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're preparing for surgery and need to ensure your body is ready for the procedure. It checks essential health markers including blood clotting ability, kidney and liver function, blood counts, infection status including HIV, and pregnancy status to identify any hidden conditions that could affect your surgery or recovery. This comprehensive screening helps your surgical team plan safely and gives you confidence that you're medically cleared for your procedure.

What happens after I get my results?

You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your pre-surgical health markers mean and whether any values need attention before your procedure. These notes include specific guidance on which results to share with your surgeon, whether any follow-up tests are needed, and what steps to take if any values are outside normal ranges. You'll also get the standard lab report to provide to your surgical team, and you can track your health markers over time using our trends feature.

What's included in this test?

This panel measures Complete Blood Count (CBC) with differential and platelets, Comprehensive Metabolic Profile including electrolytes (Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, Carbon Dioxide), kidney function markers (BUN, Creatinine, eGFR), liver enzymes (ALT, AST, Alkaline Phosphatase, Bilirubin), proteins (Albumin, Globulin, Total Protein), Glucose, Calcium, Prothrombin Time (PT), INR, Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT), Complete Urinalysis (including pH, Specific Gravity, Protein, Glucose, Blood, Cells, Crystals, Casts), HIV 1/2 Antigen and Antibodies (4th Generation), and Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) for pregnancy testing. This comprehensive pre-operative panel evaluates multiple critical body systems to ensure surgical safety. It includes a Complete Blood Count to check for anemia or infection, a Comprehensive Metabolic Panel to assess kidney and liver function along with electrolyte balance, coagulation tests (PT/PTT/INR) to evaluate blood clotting ability, a complete urinalysis to screen for kidney issues or infection, HIV antibody testing, and a highly sensitive pregnancy test. Together, these measurements provide your surgical team with a complete picture of your health status and help identify any conditions that need to be addressed before surgery.

How should I prepare for this test?

You should fast for 12 hours before your blood draw, which means no food or beverages except water during this time. This fasting requirement ensures accurate results for the metabolic panel, especially glucose measurements. Results typically take about 3 business days, though if any confirmation testing is required, it may take slightly longer.

When will I get my results?

You can expect your results in approximately 3 business days after your sample is collected. If any of your tests require confirmation or additional analysis, the turnaround time may be extended slightly. You'll receive both easy-to-understand doctor notes and the complete lab report that you can share with your surgical team.

Who should consider getting this test?

This test is essential for any woman scheduled for surgery who needs pre-operative medical clearance. It's especially important if you haven't had recent bloodwork, have chronic health conditions like diabetes or kidney disease, take blood thinners or medications that affect clotting, or if your surgeon has requested comprehensive pre-surgical screening. Even for minor procedures, this testing helps ensure your safety.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

If you're scheduled for any surgical procedure, this testing is typically required regardless of symptoms. However, it's especially important if you've been experiencing unexplained fatigue, easy bruising or bleeding, frequent infections, changes in urination, or any new health concerns that have developed since your surgery was scheduled. These symptoms could indicate underlying conditions that need to be addressed before your procedure.

How can I prepare my body for surgery?

To optimize your health before surgery, focus on eating a balanced diet rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals to support healing. Stay well-hydrated, get adequate sleep, and avoid alcohol and smoking, which can impair healing and increase surgical risks. If you're anemic or have low vitamin levels, work with your doctor on supplementation, and follow all pre-operative instructions regarding medications and fasting requirements.

What is the PT/INR test and why does it matter for surgery?

PT (Prothrombin Time) and INR (International Normalized Ratio) measure how long it takes your blood to clot. This is critical for surgery because if your blood clots too slowly, you're at risk for excessive bleeding during and after the procedure. If it clots too quickly, you could be at risk for dangerous blood clots. Your surgical team needs to know these values to plan appropriately and adjust any blood-thinning medications.

What happens if my pre-op results are abnormal?

If any values are outside normal ranges, your surgeon will review them to determine if the surgery can proceed safely or if any issues need to be addressed first. Minor abnormalities may just require monitoring during surgery, while more significant findings might mean optimizing your health before proceeding, adjusting medications, or doing additional testing. Your doctor will discuss any necessary steps with you and may reschedule your surgery if needed to ensure your safety.
