FAQs

Common tests include blood tests (e.g., CBC, blood glucose, lipid profile), urine analysis, microbiological tests (e.g., cultures), pathology, genetic testing, and molecular diagnostics.

Tests are ordered to help diagnose a condition, assess disease progression, monitor treatment effectiveness, or conduct routine health screenings.

Preparation varies by test. For example

Fasting Tests - Require fasting for a certain number of hours (e.g., glucose, cholesterol tests).
No Specific Prep - Some tests, like CBC, usually don’t require special preparation.

Always follow instructions provided by your healthcare provider.

Routine tests like CBC or basic metabolic panels may take a few hours to a day. Specialized tests, such as genetic tests, may take several days to weeks. Your lab or doctor will provide a timeline.

Lab results are usually given as numerical values with reference ranges. Values outside the range could indicate a health issue, but interpretation depends on clinical context. Always discuss results with a healthcare provider for accurate interpretation.

A reference range is the normal range of values expected in healthy individuals. Results outside this range may indicate an abnormality, but this varies with age, sex, and health conditions.

Yes, most labs provide a copy of results to patients upon request. Some healthcare systems also offer access through online portals.

Results can be influenced by medications, diet, alcohol, physical activity, and timing of the test. Some conditions, like dehydration, can also impact results.

A false-positive result incorrectly indicates the presence of a condition, while a false-negative result fails to detect a condition. These can occur due to technical errors, sample contamination, or biological variability.

Labs follow strict quality controls and use calibrated equipment, but no test is 100% accurate. Sensitivity and specificity of the test play a role, along with factors like sample quality and handling.

A STAT test is an urgent test that is prioritized to provide quick results, usually within an hour, to support critical decision-making in emergencies.

No, lab tests can be performed on various samples like urine, saliva, stool, cerebrospinal fluid, and tissue biopsies, depending on what’s being tested.

Quality control involves regular checks and calibrations to ensure test accuracy. This includes using control samples and adhering to standardized protocols.

In some regions, direct-to-consumer testing is available, allowing individuals to order specific tests without a doctor’s order. However, interpretation and guidance on next steps often require a healthcare professional.
