Biochemistry laboratories are the units of hospitals and other health institutions that provide services in the processes of analysing diseases and general health status, performing biological analyses in diagnosis-diagnosis-treatment processes and interpreting the tests performed for this purpose.
Tests performed in Biochemistry Laboratory:
The biochemistry laboratory undertakes the task of testing fluid samples taken from the body (blood, urine and fluids taken from intra-body cavities, etc.) and reporting the results. This unit usually performs the tests requested by doctors, but sometimes it can also recommend tests for the correct diagnosis and treatment of diseases. In this case, the tests performed by the biochemistry laboratory are listed as follows:
Routine biochemical tests
Complete blood count tests
Blood gases
Cardiac (heart-related) markers
Tumour markers
Coagulometric (coagulation related) tests
Drug levels
Metabolic diagnosis and screening tests
Toxicology tests
Urine tests
Electrolytes
Electrophoresis tests
Hormone tests
Enzyme tests
The biochemistry laboratory is involved in the analyses and interpretation of tests to be performed for diseases of interest to endocrinology, internal medicine, nephrology, gastroenterology, gynaecology, general surgery, nutrition and diet, neurology, oncology and cardiovascular diseases. In addition, biochemistry laboratories provide services for the treatment of all age groups from newborns to the elderly.
