TEST
Also known as a medical laboratory test or diagnostic test, is
a medical procedure that involves analyzing samples of
tissues, blood, urine, or other substances in the body to
diagnose or monitor diseases, conditions, or the overall
health of an individual. Pathology tests are essential tools
used by healthcare professionals to gather valuable
information about a patient's health, allowing for accurate
diagnosis and appropriate treatment planning.

TEST
The realm of pathology encompasses a diverse array of
tests, each designed to unveil crucial insights into a patient's
health. Blood tests, including the comprehensive Complete
Blood Count (CBC) and intricate blood chemistry panels,
offer a snapshot of overall well-being and can pinpoint
issues ranging from anemia to diabetes. Genetic tests delve
into inherited conditions and susceptibility to diseases, aiding
in personalized healthcare.
Measures the number of red and white blood cells and
platelets in the blood.
Complete Blood Count
Blood Chemistry Panel
Assesses various components in the blood, such as glucose,
cholesterol, and electrolytes.
Measures the number of red and white blood cells and
platelets in the blood.
Blood Clotting Tests
A urine test, also known as urinalysis, is a diagnostic
examination of a person's urine to assess various
aspects of their health. It is a non-invasive and
commonly performed test that provides valuable
information about the body's metabolic and excretory
functions. Urine tests can help diagnose and monitor a
range of conditions, including kidney diseases,
diabetes, urinary tract infections, and certain
metabolic disorders.
Identifies variations in genes associated with inherited
disorders or susceptibility to certain diseases.
Genetic Screening
Cancer Genetic Testing
Detects genetic mutations that may increase the risk of
developing certain cancers.
A tissue test, also known as a biopsy or histological
examination, involves the removal and microscopic
analysis of a small sample of tissue from the body.
This diagnostic procedure is performed to
investigate and diagnose abnormalities or diseases
within tissues, providing crucial information for
medical professionals to determine the appropriate
course of treatment.
Removal of a tissue sample during a surgical
procedure.
Surgical Biopsy
Needle Biopsy
Extraction of tissue using a thin needle, often guided by
imaging techniques.
Collection of tissue through an endoscope, a flexible
tube with a camera, inserted into the body.
Endoscopic Biopsy

Results
The time it takes to get blood test results can
vary depending on several factors, including the
type of test, the laboratory's workload, and the
healthcare provider's processes. In general,
many routine blood tests can provide results
within a few days.
Common tests like a complete blood count (CBC) or basic
metabolic panel (BMP) often have a turnaround time of 24
to 72 hours.
Basic Blood Tests
Specialized Tests
More specialized tests, such as hormone levels or certain
genetic tests, may take longer. These could range from a
few days to a couple of weeks.
If the blood test is urgent due to a medical emergency, some
results may be available within a few hours. However, this is
situation-dependent.
