Blood sample

A blood sample is a small amount of blood taken from your body, usually from a vein in your arm, to help doctors examine your health. It contains vital information about your overall wellness, organ function, and can detect conditions like infections, anemia, or diabetes. The sample is analyzed in a lab to measure various components such as red and white blood cells, hormones, and chemicals. This information guides diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of health issues. The procedure is quick and generally safe, providing essential insights into your body's internal state.
