Some medical conditions and diseases may be referred to by a number of names or acronyms. If you do not see the condition you are looking for in the Conditions/Diseases menu that appears at the top of the page, you can also search for it by entering it into the Search box.

Here are some helpful hints for using Search:

  • Since some conditions are known by more than one name, try entering those other names as well (e.g., cardiovascular disease is also called CVD).
  • If you are searching a phrase, put quotes around the entire phrase.
  • Check your spelling.

Please keep in mind that since Lab Tests Online is focused on providing information on clinical laboratory tests used in medical care, we limit our condition articles to those that have laboratory tests associated with them, such as for screening, diagnosis, and/or management.

If you still cannot find what you are looking for and believe it is within the scope of our web site, then please Contact Us.
