<p><a href="https://medlineplus.gov/">MedlinePlus</a> now has lab test information in <a href="https://medlineplus.gov/labtests.html">English</a> and <a href="https://medlineplus.gov/spanish/labtests.html">Spanish</a>. From "Albumin Blood Test" to "Yeast Infection Test," MedlinePlus currently has 50 lab tests listed with 75 more coming in the next year (see <a href="#fig1">Figure 1</a>).

<strong>Figure 1: List of lab tests in MedlinePlus.</strong></div>
<p>
Visitors can learn about their laboratory tests, including what the lab test is used for, why their doctor ordered it, how the test will feel, and what the results may mean
(see <a href="#fig2">Figure 2</a>).
