Blood Tests

What it is

A blood test involves collecting a small blood sample, usually from a vein in the arm or sometimes by a finger prick. The sample is then processed through the diagnostic workflow to measure specific parameters requested by you or your referring healthcare professional.

Why it may be recommended

Blood tests are commonly used to assess different aspects of health and can help healthcare professionals evaluate various conditions, monitor ongoing health parameters and support clinical decision-making. A blood test may be advised as part of a routine checkup, before a procedure, to follow up on an existing condition, or as part of a corporate or insurance medical examination.

What patients can expect

Collection is usually quick. A trained staff member cleans the area, collects the required sample and applies a small dressing. You may feel a brief pinch. Most people resume normal activities immediately afterwards.
