You are certainly right about it not being a familiar blood test. The ANA blood test is a Antinuclear Antibody test. Basically it is a blood test for people with infections, cancer and loung diseases.
To test for the amount of sugars (glucose) in the blood.
No, you don't need to fast for the blood test for chickenpox.

Not necessarily. Urine tests and blood tests measure different things and have different detection windows. Passing a urine test does not guarantee passing a blood test, as they are used to detect different substances and levels of substances in the body.
The tube for a PSA blood test is typically a lavender or purple top tube, which contains an EDTA anticoagulant to prevent the blood from clotting during transportation and processing.
A light blue tube is typically used to collect blood for a coumadin test (PT/INR). This tube contains sodium citrate as an anticoagulant to prevent the blood from clotting during testing.
There is no blood tested in a urine test.
A lavender-colored bottle is typically used to collect a blood sample for a Full Blood Count (FBC) test, which is also known as a Complete Blood Count (CBC) test. This bottle often contains an anticoagulant to prevent blood from clotting during transportation to the laboratory for analysis.
A light blue tube is typically used for a partial thromboplastin time (PTT) test. This tube contains sodium citrate as an anticoagulant to prevent blood clotting during the test.
If a blood test shows that EDTA has clotted, it may indicate improper handling of the blood sample, which could lead to inaccurate test results. EDTA is an anticoagulant commonly used to prevent blood from clotting during sample collection. It is important to ensure proper techniques are used to collect and handle blood samples to avoid this issue.
A full blood count EDTA is a common blood test that measures various components of your blood, including the number of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. The EDTA additive is used to prevent the blood from clotting during the test, allowing for accurate measurements. This test can help diagnose conditions such as anemia, infection, and clotting disorders.
A lavender/purple top tube is typically used to draw blood for a hematocrit test. This tube contains the anticoagulant EDTA, which helps prevent the blood from clotting during testing.
The preferred tube for collecting blood for an A1C test is a lavender/purple top tube, which contains the anticoagulant EDTA. This tube is used to prevent blood from clotting during testing.
An activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) test is drawn in a light blue tube. This tube contains sodium citrate as an anticoagulant to prevent blood from clotting during the test.
For ammonia blood tests, a heparin tube or EDTA tube can be used. Heparin tubes are preferred as they can help prevent ammonia levels from changing during transportation to the lab.
