Understanding the importance of diagnostic blood tests
Diagnostic blood tests are important for identifying diseases earlier, recognizing deficiencies, and tracking current health issues. Having blood testing results at hand doctors can reveal problems before the emergence of any symptoms. Regardless of your health status- whether you have a chronic illness, blood tests help to assign customized treatment strategies.

How to prepare for a blood test?
Some blood tests, such as triglyceride and cholesterol levels, require fasting up to 12 hours beforehand. Moreover, if you are on medication, your doctor might ask you to stop taking them in order not to affect the results. Always follow your doctor's instructions to determine the fasting time and the prohibitions.
Whether the test requires any food prohibitions or not, follow the tips below for a more stress-free experience and accurate results:
• Avoid caffeine and fat
• Get enough sleep
• Stay hydrated
• Dress comfortably
• Have some snacks in case you feel weak after your appointment
• Avoid strenuous activities, smoking, alcohol the day before the test
Although a common procedure, going to a blood test lab alone can be stressful for some people. As long as you follow your specialist's advice, you are safe to undergo the examination.

FAQ
Which test is best for full body checkup?
For a full body checkup, you need to mix some tests- complete blood count (CBC), cholesterol panels, thyroid function evaluations, and vitamin and mineral screenings.
Do blood tests show all illnesses?
Diagnostic blood tests can detect a wide range of conditions, but they may not reveal every possible disease. Depending on your symptoms, your doctor might recommend further testing.
How much blood is taken during blood tests?
The volume of blood taken is typically small, usually only a few milliliters, enough for several blood testings.
Does sleep affect blood tests?
Yes, insufficient sleep can have an impact on test results, especially those associated with hormones, glucose, and stress levels. Make sure to get enough sleep the night before the test for optimal results.
How long does it take to get blood test results?
Depending on their complexity, the time it takes to get the results can vary. More routine tests may take 1-3 days to get the results, for more complicated tests a few weeks are required to have the results ready.
Do blood tests hurt?
Blood testing is done with the help of a small needle to collect blood, which typically causes minimal discomfort. Most people feel only a quick pinch or slight pressure.
How much water should I drink before a blood test?
It's essential to stay hydrated before blood testing, so for any type of blood testing drink a lot of water. Water facilitates blood movement and therefore contributes to obtaining clear results.
