I had a pregnancy test at the doctor's urine sample being sent to lab will the test show any STIs eg chlamydia gonorrhea will they check without you requesting?

A pregnancy test will not detect chlamydia or gonorrhea. You'll have to ask the health care provider if those tests were conducted. Different health care providers have different habits. I've never worked at an office that "sent out" a urine pregnancy test, but could imagine that such a thing would happen.
A pregnancy test looks for a specific hormone, which is "turned on" when a fertilized egg implants in your uterus. A pregnancy test alone will not check for STIs or STDs.

Depending on the state you live in or any other medical preconditions - as per your medical insurance, etc - your doctor may automatically check for AIDS, chlamydia or gonorrhea, but only if the test you took was a blood test and sometimes only if you are over a certain age. However, this varies, so you should call your doctors and find out if they requested these tests for your blood samples.

Otherwise, you have to request that these tests be done. If you have more than one partner, this is typically a good habit to request BEFORE the tests are sent out, whether or not they automatically make these requests.
Duplicate question: see answer elsewhere. In sum, ask your health care provider if you were tested. Different providers have different habits.

What about ESR level growth in blood test?

ESR stands for erythrocyte sedimentation rate. It is a haemotology (blood) test that is used as a basic marker for inflamation. If the ESR is raised, this is an indication that there is some type of inflamation occurring within the body.

It is a very general test, although it can be used (in part) as a differential diagnostic test for some illnesses such as Kawasaki's disease, temporal arteritis and SLE.

What does FAN on a blood culture bottle mean?

It may depend on the brand of blood culture bottles, but there are generally 2 types of bottles drawn on an adult patient; one to culture aerobic organisms and one for anaerobic or facultatively anaerobic organisms.

Why must a small amount of urine first be voided into toilet?

That small amount of urine might have a low level of (harmless) bacterial contamination, which could make a false positive for the urinary tract infection tests. Once you get some urine flow the sample should be the sterile urine from the bladder, any bacteria found in this urine indicates an active urinary tract infection.

What are bands in hematology tests?

Bands are immature neutrophils that are released into the blood when the body needs more infection control than mature neutrophils can provide. An elevated number of bands suggests an acute infection.

Actually the term is "blasts" Everyone has some amount of "blast" cells(immature) and they aren't ceels that can be used by the body. Elevated blast cells are a consideration when checking for diseases like Leukemia and another disease called MDS,,,Myleodysplasia. Usually if blasts are under 5%, there is no reason for great concern but you doctor will monitor that as it can develop into MDS or Leukemia, or Acute Myleoid Leukemia. If the blasts are greater 5-20% of total cell count in the bone marrow, you will probably start being treated for Leukemia. Over 20% is positive for AML..... Treatment can include Chemotherapy, Immunotherapy, Bone Marrow transplant and/or Stem cell transplant. I have AML....dealing with it just fine. It's Cancer so it is serious. Depending on your age, you may respond very will to treatment. Do not be frightened. Ask your doctor as many questions as yo9u can....they will help you.
