Annual physicals often include tests that help your provider assess your current health and risk factors for disease. The tests the CN Internal Medicine team will perform at your annual physical include: Complete blood count (CBC) CBC measures the kinds of cells in your blood and how many there are of each. The team uses this information to assess your nutritional health and look for signs of infection. Chemistry panel The chemistry panel is a blood test that looks at your electrolytes to assess fluid balance and other properties in the blood that assess organ health and function. Lipid profile A lipid profile checks the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in your blood. Urinalysis The team might request a urinalysis to screen for diabetes and kidney disease. For your convenience, CN Internal Medicine offers in-house lab testing. Annual physicals help you stay healthy.
