During the Creatinine Test

Post booking your creatinine test on the PharmEasy app or website, a trained phlebotomist will visit at the given registered address at your preferred time and date.

During the test, a vein finder is used on the patient's upper arm to be able to access the veins with ease and precision, followed by aseptic preparation of the venipuncture site.

A sterile needle is then carefully inserted into a vein, causing minimal discomfort.

The trained specialist will then collect the specified volume of blood in a vacuum-sealed tube, the quantity depends on the specific tests prescribed by your doctor.

Subsequently, the blood samples are carefully transported to the PharmEasy clinical lab for meticulous analysis, employing specialized equipment and methodologies to precisely determine the concentration of creatinine in the blood.

The entire process, from beginning to end, is exceptionally clean and well-organized.
