Lab Tests – What Are They?
Lab tests provide critical information about the proper functioning of the organs, infections, and diseases in the body, showing a picture of the overall health. These diagnostic tests help doctors make informed decisions about a diagnosis, ongoing treatment, and any changes that have to be made to the plan. In lab tests, samples like blood, urine, tissue, or other bodily substances are analysed to diagnose or screen for health conditions. Common lab tests include CBC, LFT, thyroid function test, and blood sugar test.
When Does a Doctor Suggest a Lab Test?
Some common reasons under which doctors suggest lab tests are:
- To diagnose or rule out a medical condition like infection, diabetes, high blood pressure, or anaemia
- To detect any potential health issues in a timely manner during a routine health checkup
- To monitor the progression and the treatment of ongoing health conditions like diabetes, kidney issues, and heart conditions
- To monitor the impact of medicines like anticoagulants, and to make changes to the dosage if needed
- Understanding the underlying cause of symptoms like persistent fatigue, fever, weight loss, or sleep issues
- Watch out for risk factors for health issues like diabetes, hypertension, cancer, heart issues, among others
How to Prepare for a Lab Test?
The best way to ensure that the test results are accurate is to follow these steps:
- Some tests like those for vitamins and fasting blood glucose require fasting for 8-12 hours. Do not eat or drink anything apart from water during this period
- Drink water to stay hydrated, this is important for tests that involve blood or urine sample
- Do not drink or smoke before the test as it can affect the test result
- Let the doctor know about any supplements or medication that you are taking, as they might have to be temporarily stopped.
- First-morning sample of urine is considered best for routine urine microscopy test as well as urine culture.
