Lab Tests – What Are They?

A lab test is a simple yet crucial medical procedure that helps to detect if there is anything unusual going on inside your body. It helps to diagnose diseases or to keep track of any ongoing illnesses. To get the process started, samples of a person's blood, urine, sputum, stool and/or other bodily substances are collected which are to be studied by a trained pathologist. So, the sample is carefully and quickly handed over to a high-end facility where the test is performed using mechanised devices. The report that is generated which acts as the last step of a lab test is used by the doctor to diagnose your condition, help plan the treatment path and support your recovery.

When Does a Doctor Suggest a Lab Test?

A lab test provides insights into a person’s overall health and helps in the process of decision-making. Some reasons why a doctor may suggest a lab test to you are as follows:

• To help monitor a person’s health if they are already undergoing treatment
• To find out the real cause behind alarming symptoms and rule out medical possibilities
• For yearly screening of a person who has a history of critical illnesses
• As a form of preventive measure for a person who comes from a family of critical illnesses
• Prior to surgery to ensure an individual has the health condition to be able to recover from the impacts of surgery
• At the time of pregnancy to check the mother and the baby’s health

How to Prepare for a Lab Test?

Preparations for lab tests are simple but crucial to ensure accurate results. Some common instructions include:

• Some tests demand that a fast of 10-12 hours is maintained between the last meal and the sample collection. During this window of time, you are only permitted to drink water and no other solids or liquids.
• The effects of some medications and supplements may alter the test results. You need to inform the healthcare provider whatever it is you are taking.
• Physical activity may alter your test results so you may be asked to refrain from engaging in high-intensity workouts on the day of the test.
