When you go to the doctor most of the time your doctor might have ordered laboratory tests



When you go to the doctor most of the time your doctor might have ordered laboratory tests. Blood might have been drawn, urine might have been collected, sputum might have been collected, body fluids might have been drawn, and throat swabs might have been collected.

Have you ever been curious on what is done with those samples?

Do you know who run those samples?

All the samples collected are sent to the laboratory. The certified laboratory professionals will test those samples in the lab.

Significance of laboratory tests

Laboratory testing and the results are not just the numbers. Those results are used to detect, diagnose, monitor, manage and treat the diseases. It is believed that almost 80% of medical decisions are based on clinical laboratory results.
