When it does prove to be too difficult to leave your home for testing, there are many at-home kits available so you can still get the health care you require. Depicted below are<br>some of the options available for at home blood tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"687\" data-src=\"https:\/\/3.224.65.35\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/blood-1024x687.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2568 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/umedoc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/blood-1024x687.png 1024w, https:\/\/umedoc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/blood-300x201.png 300w, https:\/\/umedoc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/blood-768x515.png 768w, https:\/\/umedoc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/blood-16x12.png 16w, https:\/\/umedoc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/blood.png 1098w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/687;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-9342944334127739\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9342944334127739\" data-ad-slot=\"9438483114\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Labcorp offers two at home options for blood tests.<br>a. One option called the \u201clab-in-a-box\u201d requires a home health care provider to<br>draw blood using the supplied testing tubes, but has the advantage of not requiring centrifugation before the specimen is sent to the lab. The \u201clab-in-a-box\u201d test options include: basic metabolic panel, renal function tests,<br>lipid panel, thyroid panel, anemia panel, electrolyte panel, liver function testing,<br>as well as different chemistry, trace element, and drug tests.<br>b. A different testing option from labcorp called \u201clab-in-an-envelope\u201d is a good<br>choice if there is no home health care provider available to perform a blood<br>draw. In this testing kit, one only needs to prick their finger and send in the dried<br>blood spot specimen. \u201cLab-in-an-envelope\u201d offers tests for total cholesterol, hemoglobin A1c, PSA, ALT, TSH, CRP, BUN, testosterone, cotinine, and creatinine.<\/li><li>Lab.me is a company that offers a variety of at-home testing kits options which use the<br>finger prick specimen collection method. Just a few of the different kits available through Lab.me include the following: heavy metals and essential elements, comprehensive thyroid, baseline health, female wellness test, male wellness test,<br>complete blood count.<\/li><li>Everlywell is a company that offers at-home testing kits as well. The collection methods<br>include finger prick, saliva sample, and urine samples. Kits available for purchase<br>include: food sensitivity test, metabolism test, thyroid test, STD tests, heavy metal test,<br>heart health test, HbA1c test, FIT colon cancer screening test, cholesterol and lipid test, as well as many more options. While these at-home tests are useful, they do not all offer the same accuracy as a blood draw at a testing site would due to differences in specimen quality and collection. It is important to discuss what option is right for you with your healthcare provider.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns
