AM is a laboratory test that focuses on the markers in its panel. This overview explains what the AM measures, who it may be for, and how results are reported.

How the AM Is Performed: Specimen and Draw

After collection, the sample is processed and the results of the AM are reported once the analysis is complete. The AM uses one sample, so no additional specimen is normally required. Wearing short sleeves and staying hydrated can make the collection for the AM quicker and more comfortable. The AM is performed with a standard blood draw collected at a collection site.

Accuracy of the AM

The AM is run by a licensed laboratory, and like any test it has limitations. A result from the AM reflects the sample at the time it was collected and does not capture every factor. The accuracy of the AM depends on proper sample collection and on the laboratory method used. A value outside the range is not a diagnosis on its own, so the AM is best interpreted with a provider.

Questions to Ask About the AM in Gresham

Writing your questions down before the AM makes it easier to cover them. If a AM result is unclear, ask what it means and what the next step should be. Before the AM, it can help to ask what the test measures and why it is being suggested. Ask how the AM sample will be collected and whether any preparation is needed.
