What are biochemical analyses?

Biochemical analyses are laboratory tests that measure various substances in blood and other biological samples to assess the health of different organs and systems in the body. These tests help diagnose diseases, monitor treatments, and evaluate overall health status.

Why are they important?

Biochemical analyses provide valuable information about liver, kidney, pancreas, and metabolic system function. They are essential for early detection of diseases such as diabetes, liver conditions, and kidney problems, even when no obvious symptoms are present. The results of these analyses help doctors make informed decisions about patient treatment and follow-up care.

How to prepare?

For most biochemical analyses, fasting for 8-12 hours before sample collection is required. It is important to inform the laboratory about any medications you are taking, as some drugs may affect results. Alcoholic beverages should be avoided 24 hours before testing.
