A routine blood panel, frequently ordered during annual physical examinations or general health assessments, is designed to evaluate various aspects of blood composition and organ function. Such panels typically include complete blood counts, metabolic profiles, and lipid panels. These tests provide information about red and white blood cell levels, electrolyte balance, kidney and liver function, and cholesterol levels.
The purpose of a standard blood test is not to screen for sexually transmitted diseases. These tests are geared towards identifying common health issues and monitoring overall well-being. While inflammation markers might be elevated in some instances of infection, these markers lack the specificity required to diagnose a specific sexually transmitted disease. Dedicated testing methodologies are essential for accurate STD detection.
