Telehealth first? Why lab samples still mean a trip

Questions about a medicine or follow-up

MedlinePlus explains that a CBC measures red cells, white cells and platelets, along with hemoglobin and hematocrit. A high white cell count can point to an infection, and low hemoglobin can point to anemia, but the CBC is one part of the picture. Bring a photo ID and your insurance card if you have one.

Keep taking your medicines unless a clinician says otherwise, and bring a list that includes supplements.
Bring past results from another lab. MedlinePlus notes that ranges and units can differ between labs, so it helps to see the original report.
If you ate during a fast, say so. The test may need another day, and it is better to know before the draw.
