Teens and young athletes in La Grange, IL
Read moreClose
The U.S. Census Bureau counted 16,321 people in La Grange, IL in 2020, and more than a quarter are under 18. Many play for Lyons Township High School or local leagues. When a busy teen seems unusually tired, short of breath during practice or pale, a clinician may order a complete blood count.
MedlinePlus explains that abnormal red cell, hemoglobin or hematocrit levels may relate to anemia, low iron or dehydration, and that diet, activity and hydration can all affect the numbers. That is why the result is read alongside the whole story. The same test also counts white cells: MedlinePlus says a high count may suggest an infection or a reaction to a medicine. If a clinician suspects something more, they will explain the next test and why it is needed. A parent or guardian should come with anyone under 18.
A clinician reviews the reportEach number is compared with the reference range printed by the lab that ran it.
You hear what it meansMedlinePlus notes that a result just outside the range may not signal a problem, and a normal result does not always rule one out.

Will my Cook County health plan work at a DuPage County urgent care?
For the plans we accept, yes. Our list includes CountyCare, BCBS Medicaid Community, Meridian, BCBS PPO, Cigna, Humana, UnitedHealthcare and Medicare, and the county line does not change it. Networks shift, though, so call (630) 324-6825 before you leave La Grange, IL to confirm your specific plan.
Can I get lab work after taking the train from La Grange, IL?
Yes. Ride the BNSF Line west from La Grange Road or Stone Avenue to Westmont, IL. Our main clinic at 29 N Cass Ave is the closer one to the station, and it collects blood and urine samples on site. Weekday hours run to 6 PM, and weekends to 5 PM.
Why did my cholesterol test need fasting but my CBC did not?
Different tests react differently to food. MedlinePlus says a lipid panel may need about 9 to 12 hours without food, since a recent meal can change triglycerides, while a CBC usually needs no preparation. If both are drawn from one sample, you follow the stricter rule. We will tell you ahead of time.
What does BUN and creatinine on my panel mean?
Both are part of the basic metabolic panel and help show how well your kidneys are working. MedlinePlus lists them among the eight measurements in the panel, along with glucose and body salts. A clinician explains what your numbers mean and whether anything needs a recheck or follow-up.
Is there lab testing near La Grange, IL on a Saturday?
Yes. Both of our Westmont, IL clinics are open Saturday and Sunday from 9 AM to 5 PM, about 5.4 miles west of La Grange, IL in a straight line. Both collect samples on site. Calling ahead is smart if you are after one particular test.
