Chemistry Profile for Various Diseases
What sample is needed for the chemistry profile of the patient?
- Collect blood after 8 to 12 hours of fasting.
- These tests are done on the serum.
- Get good serum: Take 3 to 5 ml of blood in the disposable syringe or vacutainer. Keep the syringe for 15 to 30 minutes and then centrifuge for 2 to 4 minutes to get the clear serum.
What are the indications for Chemistry profiles For Various Diseases?

- These tests rule out any pathology, e.g., the liver, kidneys, and other biochemical abnormalities like fat or carbohydrate metabolism.
