Medical Investigations 4.0 [free]

Simple and efficient way to memorize basic labs and metabolic panels.
These are the most commonly used medical investigations and to be familiar with them is to be a good practitioner.
This App sorts them out in a neat way for easy revision and 'look ups'
Here's what you're getting with this App (and much more!):
(Complete Blood Count)
This test, also known as a CBC, is the most common blood test performed. It measures the types and numbers of cells in the blood, including red and white blood cells and
platelets. This test is used to determine general health status, screen for disorders and evaluate nutritional status. It can help evaluate symptoms such as weakness, fatigue
and bruising, and can help diagnose conditions such as anemia, leukemia, malaria and infection.
(Prothrombin Time)
Also known as PT and Pro Time, this test measures how long it takes blood to clot. This coagulation test measures the presence and activity of five different blood clotting
factors. This test can screen for bleeding abnormalities, and may also be used to monitor medication treatments that prevent the formation of blood clots.
(Basic Metabolic Panel)
This test measures glucose, sodium, potassium, calcium, chloride, carbon dioxide, blood urea nitrogen and creatinine which can help determine blood sugar level, electrolyte and
fluid balance as well as kidney function. The Basic Metabolic Panel can help your doctor monitor the effects of medications you are taking, such as high blood pressure
medicines, can help diagnose certain conditions, or can be part of a routine health screening. You may need to fast for up to 12 hours before this test.
(Comprehensive Metabolic Panel)
This test combines the Basic Metabolic Panel with six more tests for a more comprehensive evaluation of metabolic functions, with a focus on organ systems.
(Lipid Panel)
The lipid panel is a group of tests used to evaluate cardiac risk. It includes cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
(Liver Panel)
The liver panel is a combination of tests used to assess liver function and establish the possible presence of liver tumors.
(Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)
This test screens and monitors the function of the thyroid.
(Hemoglobin A1C)
This test is used to diagnose and monitor diabetes.
(Urinalysis)
Often the first lab test performed, this is a general screening test used to check for early signs of disease. It may also be used to monitor diabetes or kidney disease.
