Blood tests

Blood tests can provide important information about many diseases. Laboratory analysis also plays an important role in health care. Modern laboratories such as our contract laboratory have the ability to determine a wide range of blood values. The most important routine parameters are, for example Examinations of blood cells (the so-called blood count), blood sugar, cholesterol levels, blood salts, blood coagulation as well as thyroid, liver and kidney values. Modern medicine knows hundreds of different laboratory tests.

The selection of the blood values ​​to be determined must always be made individually and depends on the existing illness or situation (e.g. preventive examination, preparation for surgery). Which values ​​should be determined for which illness or for certain complaints or, for example, as part of a preventive examination, must be determined as part of a medical consultation. Please always take advantage of the opportunity to seek medical advice before taking a blood sample, as this is the only way we can optimally prepare the laboratory test and tailor it to your individual needs.

Important information about the blood collection process

Blood samples must be processed as quickly and freshly as possible, which is why blood samples can only be taken at certain times. We will give you an appointment, usually between 8:30 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. Please keep this appointment exactly so that we can coordinate our laboratory tests as well as possible - this is the only way to save you and other patients unnecessary waiting times.

Some blood tests (blood sugar and cholesterol) require you to fast for at least six hours. Please be sure to take your morning medication (except insulin and other diabetes medications) as usual with a sip of water. Most blood samples are routinely evaluated after 24 hours. Only the analysis of some special values ​​may take a little more time. Please leave us a telephone number where we can reach you if a blood test result is so bad that immediate intervention is required. Due to the large number of laboratory tests, we can only call you in these urgent cases.

Urine/stool examinations

If a stool sample or urine sample is required, we will be happy to provide you with the necessary containers. Please always label your samples with your name clearly visible. If necessary, we will be happy to inform you about the individual collection of the sample.
