Why is clinical examination important?
General blood analysis is one of the most important laboratory tests.
This research is needed by specialists in all fields - based on a correctly read analysis, the doctor determines further laboratory studies and finally makes a diagnosis.
A certain change of various indicators (erythrocytes, platelets, leukocytes) in the general blood analysis allows to form an opinion about this or that pathology.
In almost every doctor's practice, there is a patient who underwent an analysis for a completely different reason, and it was as a result of the laboratory research that a much more serious disease was detected. Therefore, blood analysis is recommended both for monitoring already diagnosed disease and for routine research.
Blood tests are very common. They are ordered by healthcare providers to:
- Find out how well organs such as your kidneys, liver, heart, or thyroid are working
- Help diagnose diseases such as cancer, diabetes, coronary heart disease, and HIV/AIDS
- Find out if your medicine is working to make you better
- Diagnose bleeding or clotting disorders
- Find out if your immune system is having problems fighting infections
- Diagnose anemia
- Find variations in hemoglobin
- Monitor chronic health conditions and diseases
- Find health problems in their early stages
