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.
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.
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.
What this means
Your INR is slightly elevated, which means your blood takes a bit longer to clot than the standard reference range. While this is a mild elevation and may not be concerning for everyday life, it's important information for your surgical team to know as it could increase bleeding risk during and after your procedure.
