Blood investigations are crucial diagnostic tools that analyze blood samples to assess overall health and diagnose various conditions. Common tests include the Complete Blood Count (CBC), which evaluates red and white blood cells and platelets, and the Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP), which measures glucose, electrolytes, and kidney function. The Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) expands on the BMP to include liver function tests, while the Lipid Panel assesses cholesterol levels for cardiovascular health.
Recent advancements in blood investigation technologies, such as automated analyzers and molecular diagnostics, have enhanced the precision and efficiency of these tests. Blood investigations are integral for diagnosing diseases, monitoring treatment effectiveness, and managing chronic conditions, providing essential insights into a patient's health status and guiding appropriate medical care.
