Venipuncture

The procedure of puncturing a vein to collect blood for testing, intravenous therapy, or blood donation. It is commonly performed with a needle and syringe.

complete blood count

A blood test that evaluates various components of blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelets, to assess overall health and detect disorders.

comprehensive metabolic panel

Chem 14, tests metabolism

basic metabolic panel

Profile 8, tests 7-8 substancesin the blood, including glucose, calcium, electrolytes, and kidney function markers.

blood urea nitrogen test

test amount urea nitrogen

direct antiglobulin test

Coombs test, infants test presence hemolytic disease

coagulation panel

clotting test

blood differential

percentage of different leukocytes

blood enzyme tests

tests targeted enzyme for detection of heart, liver, or muscle damage.

blood gas analysis

arterial blood gas test, amount oxygen and carbon dioxide in blood

blood glucose test

levels of sugar in blood, for diabetes

erythrocyte sedimentation rate

a blood test that measures the rate at which red blood cells settle at the bottom of a test tube, used to detect inflammation in the body.

fibrinogen activity test

a blood test that measures the level of fibrinogen, a protein essential for blood clotting.

glucose tolerance test

to diagnose gestational diabetes

hematocrit

a blood test that measures the proportion of blood volume that is occupied by red blood cells.

lipoprotein panel blood test

levels of cholesterol and triglycerides to assess cardiovascular health.

newborn screening

A series of tests performed on newborns to identify genetic, metabolic, and congenital conditions early.

prothombin time

a blood test that measures how long it takes for blood to clot, used to evaluate the coagulation status.

total protein test

A blood test that measures the total amount of proteins in the blood, including albumin and globulins, to assess nutritional status and liver function.

bone marrow biopsy

A procedure that involves taking a sample of bone marrow, usually from the hip bone, to examine for diseases such as leukemia or lymphoma.

bone marrow aspiration

A procedure to obtain a sample of bone marrow fluid for analysis, often used to diagnose blood disorders.

Schilling test

urine test for B12 absorbtion determining pernicious anemia

allogenic transfusion

from matching donated blood

autologous transfusion

own person’s blood usually in anticipation of a surgery

apheresis

process of removing specific blood components

platelet-rich plasma treatment

involves separating platelets from blood to promote healing.

plasmapheresis

a procedure that removes plasma from the blood, often to treat certain medical conditions.

therapeutic plasma exchange

a medical procedure that removes and replaces plasma in the blood, used to treat conditions like autoimmune disorders.

hemodialysis

a treatment that filters waste and excess fluids from the blood, commonly used for patients with kidney failure.

hematopoietic stem cell transplant

a medical procedure where hematopoietic stem cells are infused into a patient, often following the treatment of diseases like leukemia or lymphoma, to restore blood cell production.

graft-versus-host disease

a condition that occurs when transplanted immune cells attack the recipient's body tissues, typically following a stem cell or organ transplant.

anticoagulent

coumadin/warfarin, heparin, low dose aspirin, topical hemostatic solution

hematopoietic growth factors

substances that stimulate the production and differentiation of blood cells in the bone marrow.
