Available Lab Tests in Parsippany:

Urinalysis:

A urinalysis is a test of your urine. It's used to detect and manage a wide range of disorders, such as urinary tract infections (UTI), kidney disease and diabetes. A urinalysis involves checking the appearance, concentration and content of urine. A urine test can also be used to determine if a patient is pregnant.

Strep, Flu, RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus), & COVID-19 Testing:

Strep, Flu, RSV, and COVID-19 can all be tested with a swab. COVID-19 and Flu tests are done with a nasal swab, and the RSV & Strep test is done with a throat swab. The procedures are not painful but they may be uncomfortable. We offer both Rapid COVID tests and PCR tests depending on the test you and your provider determine is required. Especially concerning in children and elderly, RSV can be managed with prompt and expert care at AFC Parsippany.

Routine Blood Tests:

Blood tests are a standard part of routine and preventive healthcare, and they are often ordered in urgent care or emergency situation to determine what may be causing your illness. AFC in Parsippany offers routine blood tests ordered by your provider or needed to diagnose your condition.

STI Testing:

Many people don’t get tested for sexually transmitted disease (STD) because of inconvenience, cost or embarrassment. Whether you’re experiencing any symptoms or simply want to protect yourself by doing Routine STD testing, AFC in Parsippany can help. Our providers can also provide prescriptions if an infection is detected.

Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP):

A comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) is a set of blood tests that can provide you and your healthcare provider with important information about your health. The results of this blood test can provide unique insight into your health and help point out possible diseases or illnesses. CMP is also used to monitor chronic diseases such as kidney disease and high blood pressure.

Complete Blood Count (CBC):

A complete blood count (CBC) is a blood test. It's used to look at overall health and find a wide range of conditions, including anemia, and infection. A complete blood count can show unusual increases or decreases in cell counts. Those changes might point to a medical condition that calls for more testing and referrals to a specialist.

A1C Blood Testing:

The A1C test, also known as the hemoglobin A1C or HbA1c test, is a simple blood test that measures your average blood sugar levels over the past three months. This test is used to diagnose prediabetes and diabetes and to monitor and manage diabetes. We can help you monitor and manage your diabetes by testing your A1C levels.

Lipid Panel Test:

We provide on-site lipid panel tests that measure cholesterol and detect a variety of abnormalities in lipids -- fatty substances that provide energy to your body. This allows us to identify genetic diseases, your risk for cardiovascular diseases, and more. Adults should have a lipid panel test performed at least once every 5 years; if you have high cholesterol, chances are you will need lipid panels more frequently.
