Lab Tests – What Are They?

Lab tests are a type of routine medical procedure. It involves collecting samples of blood, urine, sputum, stool, or other body fluids from the patient, which are then sent to the lab for further examination. Trained pathologists will thoroughly study the sample and then prepare a detailed report. This report forms a very crucial document that is needed by the doctor to understand your overall health. It will help support the doctor in making a solid diagnosis, plan a future treatment path for you, prescribe your follow-up tests, and monitor your health going forward.

Booking a lab test in Chennai is very simple. You only need to visit the PharmEasy app or website from the comfort of your home and book a test online by following a few simple steps. 

When Does a Doctor Suggest a Lab Test?

When you visit a doctor, they will suggest a lab test to you in one of the following conditions:

• You explain to them certain symptoms and signs you have been experiencing. After conducting a physical examination, they will suggest a few lab tests to rule out possibilities and narrow down on one particular issue for their diagnosis. 
• When a patient is already undergoing treatment for a diagnosed health condition, the doctor will prescribe monitoring tests to determine if the current treatment path is working in the patient's favour. 
• Screening tests are also recommended by a general physician every few months as a form of preventive healthcare. This is especially necessary if you have a history of pre-existing illnesses or come from a family with a history of illnesses.

How to Prepare for a Lab Test?

The preparation for a lab test is a very important measure to ensure the best possible report that will be used by the doctor to diagnose your condition and plan your treatment.

• Typically, the need for fasting is a common instruction across lab tests. Some tests have a requirement of 10-12 hours of fasting such as a blood sugar fasting test whereas there are several other tests where fasting is not a necessity. 
• You need to inform your healthcare provider of all the medications/supplements you are currently taking. 
• The failure to follow any instructions can impact the test results. So, please inform the provider if any instructions are missed.
