Laboratory Tests in Bila Tserkva

Do you often feel dizzy or notice pallor? Has your hormonal balance changed? To find the causes of these and many other symptoms, laboratory tests are almost always included in the diagnostic plan. These tests help doctors make an accurate diagnosis and choose a suitable treatment plan. Accurate laboratory tests in Bila Tserkva, performed in line with international standards, are available at CSM Clinic.

Laboratory tests are methods of examining samples of blood, urine, stool, sputum, scrapings and swabs, semen, tissue for histology and so on, using specialized equipment. They are used for diagnosis in all fields of medicine. The laboratory diagnostic method is chosen by the doctor based on the features of the clinical case.

Tests may be ordered individually or as basic panels or programs.

Various types of tests can be performed at CSM Clinic. Information on whether a particular test is available can be obtained from the contact center operators. If needed, call center specialists will provide information about the price of laboratory tests and the rules of advance preparation for reliable results.

When should you get laboratory tests?

Laboratory tests are indicated by signs of various diseases (infectious, allergic, gynecological, endocrine, gastroenterological, hereditary, oncological and others). Tests to clarify a diagnosis can be ordered by a doctor of any specialty. When necessary, laboratory diagnostics are supplemented with instrumental methods, which help build the most complete clinical picture of the condition.

Test results are needed not only at the diagnostic stage but also to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment, monitor the course of a disease and assess the risk of developing certain conditions. Some types of laboratory diagnostics are also used to rule out infectious diseases during preventive checkups for employment or travel abroad.

The following laboratory tests are recommended once a year for prevention:

• complete blood count;
• urinalysis;
• biochemical blood test for glucose level.

Based on the results of a complete blood count, the doctor can rule out anemia, an allergic reaction, an imbalance of blood cell types or inflammatory processes. Interpreting urine tests helps evaluate the function of the urinary system. A biochemical blood test for sugar makes it possible to detect diabetes mellitus in time.

After age 45, the list of recommended annual tests should be expanded to include a standard biochemical blood test, which can help detect abnormalities in the function of internal organs (kidneys, pancreas, liver and gallbladder) or elevated cholesterol, which increases the likelihood of cardiovascular disease.

Preparing for tests and interpreting results

The accuracy and reliability of test results are the main components of accurate diagnosis. At CSM Clinic, expert-class laboratory equipment is used, and to obtain accurate data it is enough to follow the preparation rules for taking tests.

Special preparation is not needed for all tests, but in some cases accurate results cannot be obtained without it. When ordering a test, the doctor will explain the preparation rules to the patient, choose the date and issue a referral. Restrictions may concern taking certain medications, eating and drinking, avoiding certain foods, hygiene procedures, and abstaining from physical or sexual activity. Following these recommendations helps you take the tests correctly, obtain accurate results, and save time and money.

The most common preparation rules apply to blood tests for biochemical indicators:

• for 2 days before blood collection, stop taking herbal remedies, vitamin and mineral complexes, dietary supplements, alcoholic drinks, or alcohol-containing medications and foods;
• for 1–2 days before the test, remove fried, fatty, smoked and spicy foods from your diet;
• limit physical activity for 24 hours before the procedure;
• the last meal or drink should be 8–12 hours before blood collection (a small amount of water before the test is allowed);
• refrain from smoking for 1–2 hours before the procedure;
• on the day of the test, avoid physical and emotional stress and rest for 10–15 minutes before blood collection.

After the procedure, the patient is told when the test results will be ready. The turnaround time depends on the type of test. Some results may be ready in a few hours or the next day, while other tests take several days.

The results form is handed to the patient, sent by email or sent to the doctor. It lists the reference ranges and the patient's results. When comparing them, you may notice deviations, but the final interpretation of test results should be done only by a doctor.
