What Are Pathology Tests?

Pathology tests examine blood, urine and other suitable samples to provide information that may help doctors investigate symptoms, monitor health conditions and make clinical decisions. The type of sample and investigation depends on the reason for testing.

Common Types of Pathology Tests

Common laboratory investigations include complete blood count, blood glucose, thyroid function tests, lipid profile, liver function tests, kidney function tests and routine urine examination. Your doctor can help determine which tests are appropriate for you.

How Are Samples Collected?

Many pathology investigations use a blood or urine sample. Blood samples are generally collected by a trained healthcare professional using appropriate collection equipment. Urine collection instructions depend on the type of test requested.

Why Is Correct Sample Preparation Important?

Some investigations have specific preparation requirements, such as fasting or collecting a sample at a particular time. Follow the instructions provided by your doctor or laboratory staff to help ensure that the sample is suitable for testing.

How Should You Understand Your Test Report?

Laboratory reports may include measured values and reference intervals. A result outside a reference interval does not automatically establish a medical condition, and a result within the interval does not rule out every health problem. Your doctor should interpret the report alongside your symptoms and medical history.
