What Are Lab Tests?
Lab tests are medical investigations that analyze samples of blood, urine, stool, or other body fluids. These tests measure different substances in the body, such as blood sugar, cholesterol, hormones, or signs of infections. By looking at these values, doctors can understand if your body is working normally or if there is an underlying health issue.
Importance of Lab Tests
Lab tests are important for several reasons:
- Early Diagnosis – Many diseases such as diabetes, thyroid imbalance, or infections show no clear symptoms in the beginning. Lab tests detect these conditions early.
- Monitoring Health – Even healthy people need lab tests during routine check-ups to ensure everything is normal.
- Guiding Treatment – Doctors rely on lab test results to decide the right medicines and treatment plans.
- Preventing Complications – Regular lab testing can prevent diseases from becoming serious by identifying risk factors early.
- Checking Recovery – After treatment or surgery, lab tests help track healing and ensure the body is returning to normal.
