Annual blood work is a cornerstone of preventive healthcare. These routine tests help primary care providers evaluate organ function, detect early disease, and monitor risk factors that may not yet cause noticeable symptoms. 
 
At Trios Health, providers across Kennewick, Washington use annual blood tests to guide personalized care plans and support long-term wellness for adults at every stage of life. 

 
How Blood Work Supports Preventive Care 

Preventive care focuses on identifying health risks early, before symptoms interfere with daily life. Blood tests provide objective data that helps providers assess cardiovascular health, metabolic function, and organ performance. 
 
Key Blood Tests You May See During an Annual Visit 

• Complete Blood Count (CBC): Evaluates red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. 

• Lipid Panel: Measures cholesterol and triglycerides. 

• Blood Sugar Testing (Glucose or A1C): Screens for prediabetes and diabetes. 

• Kidney Function Tests: Assess kidney function and early disease. 

• Liver Enzymes: Identify inflammation, medication effects, or metabolic concerns. 

Why Early Detection Matters 

Many chronic diseases develop slowly over time. Blood work allows providers to identify warning signs before symptoms appear, improving outcomes and reducing complications. 
 

Understanding Risk Factors

Certain individuals benefit even more from routine blood work, including adults over age 60, patients with high blood pressure or obesity, individuals with a family history of heart disease or diabetes, and those taking long-term medications. 
 

The Importance of Consistency 

Tracking results year over year allows providers to recognize gradual changes and intervene earlier. Skipping annual labs can delay important care decisions. 

 
Partner With a Primary Care Provider 

Your primary care provider plays a central role in interpreting lab results within the context of your overall health. They can explain findings, recommend lifestyle changes, adjust medications, or order follow-up testing when needed.
