Pediatric Laboratory Testing Services

ARUP Laboratories is committed to providing quality care for pediatric patients and offers one of the most extensive reference laboratory test menus available today.

Approximately one-tenth of ARUP’s testing is performed on samples collected from patients between the ages of newborn to 18 years. Small sample volumes can pose a challenge for the clinical laboratory, but ARUP is able to process and test these samples with no delays.

ARUP offers a test menu that accommodates more than 99 percent of pediatric testing requests for the diagnosis and management of conditions that affect the healthy growth and development of the pediatric patient.

Pediatric Pathology Consultation Services

Consultations for anatomic and clinical pathology are provided by ARUP’s medical directors and clinical consultants. These staff members hold faculty appointments in the Department of Pathology at the University of Utah School of Medicine, and many are board-certified pathologists. They conduct research and remain current on diagnostic and therapeutic issues through their involvement in academics and clinical practice.

ARUP’s academic affiliation with the Division of Pediatric Pathology at the University of Utah Department of Pathology allows ARUP to provide the highest-quality consultative services for hospitals and laboratories nationwide. Examples of specialty services related to pediatrics include:

• Electron microscopy
• Kidney and liver
• Muscle and nerve
• Pediatric pathology (including tumors)
• Fetal autopsy
