Lab Tests – What Are They?
Lab tests are a very crucial part of any medical treatment. When you visit a doctor with certain unusual symptoms, they might prescribe a few tests to you along with medications to get to the root of the problem. Lab tests are diagnostic procedures that involve testing blood, urine or other types of samples taken from your body to get insights into your health. The lab test report will help your doctor arrive at a diagnostic summary, plan the treatment if needed or will help to monitor any ongoing illnesses over the required period of time.
In Pune, you can easily book a lab test online by visiting the PharmEasy app or website. The test reports are accurate and reliable and are trusted by doctors all over India.
When Does a Doctor Suggest a Lab Test?
A doctor will suggest a lab test in the following scenarios:
- If you are already suffering from a disease or condition, the monitoring tests help the doctor understand the effectiveness of the current treatment plan.
- When you show certain signs or symptoms that could indicate a disease, the doctor will suggest a lab test to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other possibilities.
- Even if you are not currently ill or are not showing any unusual symptoms, it is always advised to undergo periodic screening tests to keep your health in check.
- Suppose your family has a history of critical diseases such as cancer, diabetes or cardiovascular issues. In that case, it is advised to get screening tests done from time to time for early detection.
How to Prepare for a Lab Test?
The preparatory steps for most of the lab tests are fairly simple and direct. Some of the steps are listed below:
- Some tests such as fasting blood sugar tests require the patient to maintain fasting for at least 10-12 hours. During this time you are not to eat or drink anything (except water). Other tests such as a CBC (complete blood count) can be done after a meal, at any time of the day.
- You are also asked to refrain from engaging in exercise or smoking which can alter your test results. A urine test will also require the patient to refrain from visiting the washroom at night. This is because the test requires the first urine sample of the day for effective analysis.
- You must tell the provider whatever medication or supplements you are taking.
The failure to maintain the given instructions can seriously impact the test results. You must always inform your provider if you missed following any instructions. In this case, the provider may decide whether rescheduling the test will be the best option.
