Quality Laboratory Testing Services
A woman comes into the emergency department with abdominal pain. After doing an assessment, you order some basic labs, a urinalysis, and a urine pregnancy test. While the box on the pregnancy test and all of the training specifically says, “put three drops in it, wait three minutes and look for a line,” the tech doing the test puts numerous drops in and then leaves it on the desk and forgets about it for 30 minutes. What do they see when they walk by? A weirdly shaped and faint pink line? All of a sudden you are telling this patient that they are pregnant and ordering more labs and an ultrasound. At this point, the patient has told all of her family that she is pregnant and they are trying to determine who the is the father. Low and behold her blood work comes back, as well as her ultrasound and guess what? The patient is not pregnant. This was a classic case of user error and this error cost both the hospital and the patient lots of time and money. This is why quality laboratory testing services are important and should be left to the professionals at Pharmacogenetic Testing.
Your patient arrives at the emergency department via EMS. Your patient is a 35 year old male that is diaphoretic, blood pressure 90 palp, heart rate of 150, and a fleeting temperature. He is in and out of consciousness and unaware of his surroundings. Lactate level is sky high. What’s your stance as a provider? How can you fully help this patient before their condition deteriorates and worsens? At Pharmacogenetic Testing, we do not treat the patients for you. Those are not our decisions.

When you think of laboratory services, it’s hard to think of more than just your basic labs. However, the truth is that labs have become an innovative part of many patients’ treatment plans. It’s more than just a CBC and CMP. At Pharmacogenetic Testing, we can actually run a genetic makeup screening on a patient to see how certain drugs will interact with the patient. We can take it a step further and see how certain drugs will react with other drugs for a specific patient. With new technology and lots of research, Pharmacogenetic Testing is proud to offer a variety of services to hospitals in Texas.
Your patient comes in via EMS, and they look terrible. They are diaphoretic, their blood pressure is dangerous, and their CBC is like nothing you’ve ever seen. All of a sudden, they are crashing and you can’t determine the cause. So, you do what you are trained to do. You stabilize the patient’s vital signs, you use broad spectrum antibiotics, and you keep them alive, if only temporarily. You have done everything in your power to treat this patient. Now, it’s time that we do ours. At Pharmacogenetic Testing., we understand that you work hard to treat your patients. We know that your goal is their health and wellness. This is why we offer molecular panels for hospitals, clinics, and other providers in the Houston, TX area.
Pharmacogenetics, also called drug gene testing, gives doctors and other healthcare providers important information about their patient’s genetic makeup so that they can provide them with the best possible care. This gives physicians the ability to predict whether a patient will have an adverse reaction to a specific medicine that they want to prescribe – before the patient tries the medicines and experiences a reaction. Texas Genetic Testing LLC specializes in state of the art and fast pharmacogenetics testing for hospitals and clinics in Texas as well as around the country.
