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. Information obtained from laboratory
