Lab Tests – What Are They?
A laboratory test is a diagnostic test used to diagnose an underlying condition. During a lab test, a phlebotomist collects bodily samples like blood, tissue, or urine and safely transports them to a lab test facility. Once there, the samples are tested, and a thorough report is generated. Your doctor can analyse the report to determine whether your body functions are normal. Accordingly, if an underlying condition is detected, it can be treated on time after the confirmation by a lab test.
The range of normal values for a lab test may depend on the following factors:
- Your age and sex
- Your medical history
- Whether you have followed the prerequisites of the lab test
When Does a Doctor Suggest a Lab Test?
A doctor may suggest a lab test for the following:
- Monitoring: Your doctor may prescribe a lab test for a routine health check-up. Patients who suffer from diabetes, heart, liver or kidney diseases, thyroid, and other lifestyle diseases must go through a regular health check-up to monitor their body functions.
- Screening: Sometimes, your body may not show any signs or symptoms, even if there is an underlying condition. Your doctor can prescribe some lab tests to evaluate you and rule out any such possibility.
- Diagnosing: If you have symptoms that may indicate a disease or disorder, your doctor can prescribe lab tests to confirm the diagnosis. This helps your doctor to choose the best treatment option for you.
How to Prepare for a Lab Test?
Before a lab test is done, your healthcare provider may instruct you to follow some do’s and don’ts. Some of them are as follows:
- Smoking and drinking should not be done for at least 24 hours before sample collection as they can intoxicate your blood or urine.
- 6-12 hours of fasting is required for some lab tests as they can increase the accuracy of the results.
- Stay hydrated before sample collection unless otherwise stated.
- Do inform your doctor about the intake of any medical supplements as it may alter your test reports.
- Stay warm and do breathing exercises before sample collection to ensure a comfortable experience.
