On Demand Medical Testing

Why Should I Get Tested at On Demand Medical Testing?
On Demand Medical Testing is not intended to be a substitute for consultation with a physician or other appropriate health care provider, or annual physical examination. Our tests are for your information.
• Stay Healthy
Tests can identify risk factors of disease-important information that can help you and your doctor target lifestyle changes.
• Detect disease early
Some diseases develop over time and produce no symptoms. Testing can help you identify these serious conditions early. In general, the longer a medical condition remains undetected and undiagnosed, the more difficult the treatment and the less chance for success.
• Clarify family history
Lab tests can confirm or rule out inherited conditions and if present, lab monitoring can guide corrective therapy.
• Participate in your healthcare
Arriving at your doctor's office with test results in hand and an understanding of those results will save time and allow for a more in-depth discussion of specific concerns.
• Obtain Peace of mind
"Normal" test results are significant. Your tests can help establish your "baseline" for future monitoring and to give you general information about your health. In addition, if you have made lifestyle changes to improve your health, you will want to know if your efforts have been successful!
• Maintain Privacy - no one else will see your test results!
We take your right to privacy very seriously. Unless we have your permission or are required by law to release results to someone else (as in the case of some communicable diseases that have to be reported to the state department of health), only On Demand Medical Testing, our laboratory's professional staff and your medical consultants will see your results.
• Save money on insurance premiums
Prior to having blood tests related to insurance applications, verify that your laboratory profile is in the optimal ranges-if suboptimal, correct abnormalities like cholesterol, triglycerides or glucose prior to submission of official samples.
• Maintain an excellent health profile
Unfortunately, lab tests ordered by your physician become part of your permanent medical record and you may be forced to disclose it in certain circumstances-change in job, application for life, health and disability insurance and for other important life events. If known, many lab markers for future health concerns can be modified by simple lifestyle changes. Once optimized, your lab profile can become an aid instead of a hindrance in your permanent medical record.

Iron is essential for respiration as it forms part of the haemoglobin structure. It is the iron atom which binds to oxygen and is responsible for oxygen transport to bodily cells and tissues. Ferritin is the primary iron storage molecule in the body and is a vital component of iron homeostasis. It is also an accurate and indirect indicator of the body’s iron stores and levels are measured in iron deficiency and iron toxicity.
Why measure Ferritin?
Iron deficiency is one of the most prevalent human disorders and affects around 1 billion people worldwide. It is also the most common cause of anaemia affecting around 30% of the global population. In the early stages of anaemia, the body can show normal iron levels but may have a low level of ferritin which is an early indicator of depleting iron stores. Ultimately resulting in impacted iron levels in the future. Therefore it is important that ferritin is measured with iron when supporting clinical assessment and should be a vital addition to all laboratory iron/anaemia associated test menus.
