What the PCP Screens For in Carson

Because the PCP looks at a defined set of markers, it screens a specific area rather than every possible condition. The PCP is often used to check a particular set of markers when there is a reason to look more closely. Screening results from the PCP are most useful when reviewed alongside your history by a healthcare provider. The PCP screens for values in the markers it measures rather than confirming a specific diagnosis on its own.

How to Prepare for the PCP

If you take medications, keep a list ready to discuss with the collection staff or your provider. Unless told otherwise, most people do not need to fast for the PCP. Arriving a few minutes early helps the appointment for the PCP run smoothly. Following the preparation notes for the PCP helps ensure the sample is suitable for analysis.
