| What
are lab tests?
Laboratory
tests are medical procedures that involve testing samples
of blood, urine, or other tissues or substances in the
body.
|
|
Why
does your doctor use lab tests?
Your doctor
uses laboratory tests to help:
|
- Identify
changes in your health condition before any symptoms
occur.
-
Diagnose a disease or condition before you have symptoms.
-
Plan your treatment for a disease or condition.
-
Evaluate your response to a treatment, or
-
Monitor the course of a disease over time.
|
|
How are lab tests analyzed?
After a
blood sample is collected from your body, it is analyzed
in a laboratory. Laboratories perform tests on the sample
to see if it reacts to different substances. Depending
on the test, a reaction may mean you do have a particular
condition or it may mean that you do not have the particular
condition. Sometimes laboratories compare your results
to results obtained from previous tests, to see if there
has been a change in your condition.
|
|
What
do lab tests show?
Lab tests
show whether or not your results fall within normal
ranges. Normal test values are usually given as a range,
rather than as a specific number, because normal values
vary from person to person. What is normal for one person
may not be normal for another person.
Some laboratory
tests are precise, reliable indicators of specific health
problems, while others provide more general information
that gives doctors clues to your possible health problems.
