There are various types of blood tests, some of them are:

• Complete blood count.
• Basic metabolic panel.
• Comprehensive metabolic panel.
• Lipid panel.
• Thyroid panel.
• Cardiac biomarkers.
• Sexually transmitted infection tests.
• Coagulation panel.

Oxygen rich blood is taken by veins.

Your blood will need to be sampled by a medical professional. Another name for this is a blood draw. Venipuncture is the term for drawing blood from a vein and it is mainly practised when collecting blood samples from your place.

Using a tiny needle, a lab professional will draw blood from a vein in your arm during venipuncture. A small amount of blood will be collected into a test tube or vial after inserting the needle. The needle may sting slightly as it enters or exits your body. Usually, this only needs a few minutes.

There are additional methods for conducting a blood test, including:

Pinprick Test: You must prickle the tip of your finger for this test to obtain a tiny amount of blood. Rapid tests and at-home test kits frequently use finger prick testing. Rapid tests are simple to use, yield results quickly and require little specialised equipment.

Heel Stick Test: On newborns, this is most frequently done. A healthcare professional will clean your baby's heel with alcohol and poke it with a tiny needle during a heel stick test. A few blood samples will be taken, and the wound will be bandaged.

A glucose challenge test is a unique test that your doctor may recommend if you're pregnant or otherwise. Before the blood test, you must consume 75 grams of glucose (Glucon D) in a glass of water. Do not consume anything during that time, either.

Fasting for 8 to 10 hours or overnight is necessary for blood sugar tests.

A sample of your PP blood sugar or PLB5 is taken two hours before you eat.

Before taking a blood sample for lipid profile, you must fast for 10 to 12 hours.

A clean catch, midstream urine sample will be needed for the urine routine and urine culture test. The Simira Diagnostics staff will explain the procedure and provide the container. You must collect urine samples for a full 24 hours in order to participate in a urine 24 hours test. The lab staff will explain any specific exemptions, such as restricting particular foods or drugs, to you in accordance with your test requirements.

Do not stop taking your medication before a test if you regularly check your thyroid, blood sugar, or prothrombin time. Please provide information about any changes in medication dosage at the time of blood collection.

The tests will be performed after the skilled professionals draw your blood. The tests are reviewed by a medical professional who has received training in interpreting these studies, and you will receive your Blood Test results the same day.
