College of DuPage students: common reasons for lab work
Students juggling classes, jobs and clinical rotations often have no local doctor. You can walk in without an outside order. A clinician examines you and orders what fits:
Weeks of exhaustion with a sore throat: mono screening and a complete blood count
Burning or urgency when you urinate: a urinalysis, collected at the clinic
A program form that lists required tests: bring it so a clinician can review what is being asked
MedlinePlus explains that a CBC counts red cells, white cells and platelets and measures hemoglobin and hematocrit. It helps spot infection and anemia, but it is one piece of the picture, read together with your symptoms and history.

The U.S. Census Bureau counted 28,846 people in Glen Ellyn, IL in 2020, and about one in four is under 18. Families with kids in Districts 41 and 89 most often ask us about urine tests for a possible bladder infection and blood counts for a child who seems pale or worn out.
Come togetherA parent or guardian should come with anyone under 18. Bring the insurance card and a list of the child's medicines.
Urine from an older childMedlinePlus describes a clean catch: wash hands, wipe the genital area, start peeing in the toilet, then catch the middle of the stream in the cup. We will coach your child through it.
Urine from a babyInfants may need an adhesive collection bag, and MedlinePlus notes it can take more than one try.
Reading the resultsChildren have their own reference ranges, so a clinician compares your child's numbers with the right range and explains next steps.

Is there a place near College of DuPage to get blood work on a Sunday?
Both Urgent Care Center of Westmont clinics, about 7.4 miles southeast of Glen Ellyn, IL in Westmont, IL, are open Sunday from 9 AM to 5 PM. Both collect blood and urine samples on site. Taking I-355 south to Ogden Ave, the Jewel-Osco clinic at 4 E Ogden Ave is the first one you reach.
Do I need my home doctor's order for a lab test?
No. Our clinicians evaluate you and order the tests that make sense for your symptoms and history. If a doctor or a school program already gave you an order or form, bring it and call (630) 324-6825 to ask whether we can run those tests. A clinician explains the results with you afterward.
What is a normal A1C?
The CDC lists an A1C below 5.7% as normal, 5.7% to 6.4% as prediabetes, and 6.5% or above as diabetes. MedlinePlus adds that anemia and some other conditions can make the A1C less accurate, which is why a provider may confirm a result with a second test, such as fasting blood sugar.
How do you get a urine sample from a toddler?
If your child is not toilet trained, a small adhesive collection bag can be placed over the genital area, and MedlinePlus notes it may take more than one try. Older kids can usually give a clean-catch sample with a parent's help. A clinician will explain the steps at the visit.
Should I fast before driving in from Glen Ellyn, IL?
Only if we tell you to. Many tests need no fasting at all. When one does, MedlinePlus says to have nothing but plain water, usually for 8 to 12 hours. Call (630) 324-6825 before you leave to ask about your specific test, and keep taking your medicines unless told otherwise.
