Importance of Routine Health Testing:

Routine health tests, such as complete blood counts and Pap tests, can detect health issues before symptoms manifest.

Types of Laboratory Tests:

* Diagnostic Tests: Identify or rule out specific diseases or conditions.
* Screening Tests: Assess risk for certain diseases.
* Monitoring Tests: Track the progress of existing diseases or treatments.
* General Tests: Provide an overview of organ and body system health.

Role of Laboratory Tests in Healthcare:

* Assist in early diagnosis of diseases, allowing for timely intervention.
* Provide an objective measure of health status and risk assessment.
* Monitor treatment effectiveness and adjust as needed.

Measurement Units and Reference Ranges:

* Different laboratories may use varying units of measurement for test results.
* Reference ranges (normal values) can also vary between laboratories due to equipment differences and methodologies.
* The Medical Tests Analyzer tool allows you to customize measurement units and reference ranges for specific tests, ensuring accurate interpretation of results.
