Frequently Asked Questions

What is bio-chemistry testing?

Bio-chemistry testing refers to laboratory tests that analyse chemical processes and substances in the body, such as glucose, enzymes, electrolytes, lipids and proteins, to assess overall health and diagnose metabolic conditions.

Why are bio-chemistry tests done?

These tests help evaluate organ function (like liver and kidneys), detect metabolic imbalances, monitor chronic conditions such as diabetes and heart disease, and guide treatment decisions.

What types of tests are included in a bio-chemistry panel?

A bio-chemistry panel commonly includes tests such as fasting blood glucose, lipid profile (cholesterol, triglycerides), liver function tests (SGPT, SGOT, bilirubin), kidney function tests (creatinine, urea), electrolytes (sodium, potassium), and protein levels.

Do I need to fast before bio-chemistry tests?

Fasting is often required for certain bio-chemistry tests such as fasting blood sugar and lipid profile. Your care provider will give specific instructions when you schedule your tests.

How are bio-chemistry tests performed?

Bio-chemistry tests are performed using a blood sample collected from your vein. The sample is analysed in the laboratory using specialised equipment to measure various biochemical markers.

How long does it take to get bio-chemistry test results?

Most bio-chemistry results are typically available within 24–48 hours after sample collection, though timing can vary depending on the specific tests and lab workload.

Are bio-chemistry tests painful?

These tests involve standard blood collection, which may cause slight discomfort at the needle site, but the procedure itself is quick and generally well tolerated.

Can bio-chemistry tests detect diabetes?

Yes — tests such as fasting blood glucose and HbA1c, which are part of bio-chemistry panels, help assess blood sugar control and diagnose diabetes or pre-diabetes.

Can bio-chemistry tests assess liver and kidney health?

Yes — liver function tests (like SGPT, SGOT and bilirubin) and kidney function tests (like creatinine and urea) within a bio-chemistry panel help evaluate how well these organs are working.

How should I prepare for my bio-chemistry appointment?

Follow your doctor or lab’s instructions, which may include fasting for certain tests, avoiding certain medications, and arriving with a list of current medications you are taking.
