Lab Tests Online

Copyrighted by the Association of Clinical Biochemists, this site gives information on laboratory tests, and is designed to give patients information about the tests that they are undergoing.

I tried it out on a couple of tests. It was a bit picky about "c-reactive protein", needing the hyphen, but it did suggest that I meant that, so there was no problem. I saw information on the test sample, what the test was for, what might happen afterwards, and links to information on this same site and elsewhere about the disease or condition in question.

On the home page you can go directly to a test, or a condition, and also look at information on screening for particular age groups.
