Lab Tests – What Are They?
A lab test is a diagnostic test that is done to check the overall function and health of the body. In case of a health issue or any underlying illness, the lab test can help detect it so that timely medical action can be taken. Lab tests analyse bodily fluids like blood, semen, urine, tissues, stool or sputum, and check them against a normal, predetermined reference range. In case of differences, the doctor will prescribe medication and a treatment plan.
