Biochemistry
A biochemistry laboratory is a health unit where medical and biological analyzes are performed and various biochemical tests are performed. These laboratories are vital in the diagnosis of diseases, treatment follow-up and assessment of general health status. In biochemistry laboratories, blood, urine, saliva and other biological samples are analyzed to obtain detailed information about biochemical processes in the body.
Tests and Analyzes Performed in the Biochemistry Laboratory
Complete Blood Count (CBC): Determines the number and ratio of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.
Blood Glucose: Measures blood glucose levels and is used to diagnose and monitor diabetes.
Lipid Profile: Measures cholesterol and triglyceride levels, helps assess the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Liver Function Tests: Assesses liver health by measuring levels of enzymes and substances such as AST, ALT, ALP and bilirubin.
Kidney Function Tests: Assesses kidney health by measuring levels of substances such as creatinine and urea.
Complete Urinalysis (TIT): Evaluates the physical, chemical and microscopic properties of urine.
Urine Culture: Examines bacterial growth to determine whether there is an infection in the urine.
Thyroid Hormones: Evaluates thyroid function by measuring T3, T4 and TSH levels.
Reproductive Hormones: Measures levels of hormones such as estrogen, progesterone and testosterone.
Cortisol: Evaluates stress hormone levels.
Amylase and Lipase: Evaluates pancreatic function by measuring levels of pancreatic enzymes.
CK-MB and Troponin: Used to assess heart muscle damage.
Sodium, Potassium, Chloride: Evaluates fluid and electrolyte balance in the body.
Vitamin D, B12, Folic Acid: Evaluates vitamin levels.
Iron, Calcium, Magnesium: Measures mineral levels.
Importance of Biochemistry Laboratory
Biochemistry laboratories play a critical role in the early diagnosis of diseases, monitoring the treatment process and assessing overall health. The tests performed in these laboratories provide doctors with detailed information about patients' biochemical profiles and appropriate treatment plans can be created in the light of this information.
