3. Urinalysis – Supports screening for kidney issues, UTIs, and diabetes-related concerns
    
4. Lipid Profile – Measures cholesterol and cardiovascular risk markers
    
5. Coagulation Testing (PT/INR, aPTT) – Evaluates clotting for patients on blood thinners or with bleeding concerns
    
6. Diabetes Monitoring (Glucose, A1c) – Tracks blood sugar control over time
