General Health:- Part 3 – Chemistry profile For Various Diseases
Chemistry profile For Various Diseases
Sample
- Collect blood after 8 to 12 hours of fast.
- 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.
Indications for Chemistry profile For Various Diseases
- This battery of the tests is done as a routine workup of a person.
- These tests rule out any pathology, e.g., the liver, kidneys, and other biochemical abnormalities like fat metabolism or carbohydrate metabolism, etc.
