Lab Tests – What Are They?

Laboratory tests or diagnostic procedures are simple tests in which samples like blood, urine, tissues, sputum, and stool are analysed. These tests help doctors assess the health of the organs, diagnosing diseases and health issues. Common lab tests are CBC, LFT, KFT, thyroid profile, lipid profile, blood sugar tests, urine tests, and stool tests. Lab tests determine the course of treatment and check the effectiveness of the ongoing treatment, helping the doctor treat you better.

When Does a Doctor Suggest a Lab Test?

A lab test is suggested by the doctor for several reasons. These are:

• Lab tests help to diagnose diseases and health issues, especially when there are symptoms like fatigue, exhaustion, changes in weight, and bowel habits. These tests help to understand the cause
• Lab tests are a good screening tool as they detect health issues early on
• If you have a chronic condition, lab tests monitor the course and progression of the disease, assessing the effectiveness of the treatment
• If you have a family history of diabetes or cancer, lab tests help in screening
• Lab tests are prescribed pre-surgery to check the overall health of the body to certify fitness for surgery

How to Prepare for a Lab Test?

There are some specific guidelines that you should follow to ensure that the lab test results are accurate. These are:

• Depending on the type of the lab test, you may have to fast. You might have to avoid certain foods or beverages. Drink only water during the fasting period.
• Inform the doctor about the supplements and medication that you are taking. These might interfere with the test results, so they might have to be stopped before the test.
