Blood samples
Blood samples are small amounts of blood taken from the body for testing. These tests help doctors assess your overall health, check for infections, or diagnose diseases. Blood contains important components like red and white blood cells, plasma, and platelets, which provide vital information about how well your organs and immune system are functioning. The process involves drawing blood with a needle, usually from a vein in your arm. Laboratory analysis of the sample can reveal signs of illness, deficiencies, or other health issues, guiding appropriate treatment or further testing.
