Laboratory examinations is one of the most effective ways of diagnosing various diseases. By testing at “Olivia Clinic”, you will receive the results as quickly as possible. This will shorten the interval between the first visit to the clinic and the diagnosis, and allow to prevent the development of diseases and their complications.
Laboratory examinations
“Olivia Clinic”, in cooperation with the modern and professional medical laboratory “E. Gulbja Laboratorija” offers various testing at our clinic.
How to prepare
Many examinations are carried out on an empty stomach. It is necessary to refrain from eating 8-12 hours before the test. It is important that in some cases, abstinence from meals and water occurs at different times. Before performing blood tests or other examinations, it is necessary to specify their conditions by consulting a doctor.
A blood test is one of the most common types of clinical tests. This is due primarily to the fact that any disease in the body always affects the composition of the blood. Blood flows through the entire organ system and can provide detailed information about the state of the body’s systems.
