Lab Tests – What Are They?

Laboratory testing is a simple yet important medical process that determines if the body is exhibiting any strange symptoms. It helps track persistent conditions or diagnose emerging health concerns. To begin the process, samples of a person's blood, urine, sputum, stool, and other bodily fluids are taken and examined by a qualified pathologist. The end result of the laboratory test is used by doctors to find out the real reason for the symptoms, advise on treatment decisions, and aid in recovery.

When Does a Doctor Suggest a Lab Test?

A doctor may recommend laboratory tests to a person or patient for several reasons.

• If a person has already been diagnosed with a disease and is undergoing treatment for it, some monitoring laboratory tests are ordered to keep track of the patient's progress.
• For people with a history of serious illnesses or in families where someone has been diagnosed with a serious or hereditary disease in the past, screening tests are recommended as a preventive measure.
• Strange signs and symptoms are another factor for which the doctor may decide to prescribe lab tests in order to come to a specific diagnosis and rule out other possibilities.
• If the doctor suggests surgery to you for a health condition, he/she will ask you to undergo a few tests initially to determine if your body is fit for such a stressful medical procedure.

How to Prepare for a Lab Test?

All laboratory tests require some level of preparation so that the test generates accurate results:

• Fasting is one of the most important criteria for blood testing. Some tests typically require a 12-hour fast between the last meal and when the blood is drawn. However, there are a few other tests that can be done even post a meal.
• When preparing for your laboratory test, do not forget to tell your doctor about any supplements or medications you are taking. This is necessary because some medication effects may change the test results.
• During the fasting period, you cannot consume any beverages other than water. Physical activity immediately before the test may affect your metabolic rate, which may alter the test results.

If you are unable to follow the instructions, you must inform the provider and reschedule the test time and date if necessary.
