Lab tests check a sample of blood, urine or tissue to help diagnose an illness, screen for health changes, or track a condition over time. Urgent Care Center of Westmont, also known as Immediate Care Center of Westmont, offers lab testing in Westmont, IL as part of a walk-in visit, with results reviewed by our team led by board-certified physicians.
Common tests include rapid flu, strep and COVID-19 tests, routine blood panels such as cholesterol, glucose and thyroid, urinalysis and urine cultures, and TB testing for work or school.
According to MedlinePlus, lab tests serve three main purposes:
Tests we offer include:
A provider first reviews your symptoms, history and any forms you bring, then orders only the tests that fit your situation. Samples may include a quick swab, a urine sample or a blood draw.
Some blood tests require fasting. If your test needs preparation, we will tell you ahead of time. Let your provider know about every medicine, over-the-counter product and supplement you take, since these can affect results.
When results come in, your provider explains what they mean. MedlinePlus notes that a result outside the reference range does not always mean a problem, and a normal result does not always rule one out. That is why a provider reads your numbers together with your symptoms and history.
Lab work is for stable patients. Do not wait for a test if you have signs of an emergency.
Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room for chest pain or pressure, severe trouble breathing, sudden weakness or drooping on one side of the face or body, sudden trouble speaking or seeing, fainting or severe confusion, a seizure, or heavy bleeding.
Also go to the ER for a severe allergic reaction, high fever with a stiff neck, vomiting that will not stop, or a possible poisoning or overdose.
