Blood Panel
Category: Diagnostic Tests
A blood panel is a comprehensive set of blood tests that assess various aspects of an animal's health. It provides valuable information about the animal's overall health and helps detect underlying conditions. Blood panels typically include tests for red and white blood cell counts, liver and kidney function, electrolyte levels, and glucose levels. These tests can help diagnose conditions such as anemia, infections, liver disease, kidney disease, and diabetes. Blood panels are often performed during routine check-ups or when an animal shows signs of illness. They are also used to monitor the effectiveness of treatments or medications. Regular blood panels can help detect health issues early, allowing for timely intervention and treatment. Pet owners should work with their veterinarian to determine the appropriate frequency of blood panels based on their pet's age, health status, and medical history.
