Lab Tests – What Are They?

Medical procedures that include testing a sample from the body to learn about your health are called laboratory tests or lab tests. Blood, urine, sputum, other body fluids, or tissues are usually tested. A phlebotomist collects these samples and then senior specialist doctors check the samples and make your final reports. It also helps to plan treatment for a particular condition or monitor an ongoing disease. Lab tests are an important part of health care.

When Does a Doctor Suggest a Lab test?

• Screening: Screening tests are a part of routine checkups even when you aren’t exhibiting any signs or symptoms. This is done to make sure your health is good and to help the doctor deal with any problems they may find early on.
• Monitoring: It’s essential to know if the disease you already have is getting better or worse. Monitoring tests help us understand that and determine if the treatment is working so that the doctor knows whether to continue with the same treatment or change it. 
• Diagnosing: If you show signs or symptoms of a particular disease or condition, diagnostic tests are suggested to rule out or confirm a diagnosis.

How to Prepare for a Lab Test?

• Follow all the instructions given to you by the healthcare provider.
• Some tests require fasting beforehand. Make sure to confirm if your particular test needs fasting.
• In case you cannot follow an instruction, tell your provider because the results can change even with a minor change.
• Inform them if you are taking any medications or supplements.
