Why do lab tests sometimes need repeating?

Lab tests sometimes need to be repeated to double-check results. This ensures accuracy, especially if the initial results were surprising or unclear. Problems with the original sample or errors during testing can also require a retest. Repeating tests helps monitor changes in a patient's condition or treatment.

What is the difference between a screening test and a diagnostic test?

A screening test detects health issues early, like mammograms for breast cancer or cholesterol tests for heart disease. A diagnostic test confirms or excludes a disease in symptomatic individuals, such as biopsies for cancer or MRI scans for brain tumours. Lab services in Kochi offer screening and diagnostic tests.

Can cancer be detected with a blood test?

Blood tests detect cancer by identifying abnormal protein or cell levels, like PSA for prostate cancer or CA-125 for ovarian cancer, and through CBCs that detect abnormal blood cells. However, they can't confirm cancer alone and are part of a larger diagnostic process with imaging and biopsies.

How is a urine sample collected?

Collecting a urine sample is easy. You get a cup and instructions from the healthcare provider. After cleaning, you pee into the toilet and the cup midstream without touching it. Seal it and return it. This ensures a clean sample for accurate testing.
