Lab Tests – What Are They?

Lab tests, also known as laboratory/ medical tests or diagnostic tests, involve a series of procedures and analyses performed on samples of bodily fluids to help diagnose, monitor, or treat diseases and medical conditions. These tests can provide a doctor valuable insight into their patient's health.

Common examples of lab tests are Complete blood count (CBC) which measures red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, Blood sugar test, Thyroid function test, Cholesterol test, Urine culture, Stool test, Sputum test, etc.
