Laboratory tests are an important part of modern healthcare. They can provide valuable information that helps healthcare professionals assess your health, investigate symptoms, monitor existing conditions, and make informed decisions about your care.
At Deliverance Church Kasarani (Zimmerman) Medical Clinic, our laboratory and diagnostic services support a wide range of healthcare needs, from routine wellness testing to investigations for specific medical concerns.
Why Are Laboratory Tests Important?
A consultation and physical examination provide important information about your health, but laboratory investigations can provide additional insight that may not be available from symptoms alone.
Depending on your individual needs, a healthcare professional may recommend blood, urine, or other tests to help assess your condition, support a diagnosis, or monitor your health over time.
What Types of Tests Are Available?
Our laboratory catalogue includes a broad range of investigations covering different aspects of health.
These include routine and general tests such as Complete Blood Count, CRP, HbA1c, malaria testing, typhoid testing, PBF, ESR, urinalysis, blood sugar testing, and blood grouping.
We also provide kidney function testing, including assessments of sodium, potassium, chloride, urea, and creatinine.
For other health needs, the laboratory catalogue includes bone and vitamin tests, hormone testing, and thyroid function tests such as TSH, T3, and T4.
Our services also cover liver function testing, including bilirubin, albumin, AST, ALT, alkaline phosphatase, GGT, and total protein, as well as lipid profile testing for cholesterol and triglycerides.
For gastrointestinal investigations, the catalogue includes stool analysis, H. pylori testing, and typhoid testing.
How Quickly Are Results Available?
Turnaround times vary depending on the test. Some investigations in our catalogue have results available within approximately 30 to 45 minutes, while others may take longer. For example, the catalogue lists 30-minute turnaround times for tests such as CRP, HbA1c, and stool analysis, while some hormone tests are listed at 45 minutes and certain liver investigations at 1 hour 30 minutes.
Your healthcare provider can advise you about the appropriate test and expected turnaround time based on your specific needs.
Do I Need a Laboratory Test?
Not every person needs the same tests. The appropriate investigation depends on your symptoms, medical history, health concerns, and the assessment of a qualified healthcare professional.
Rather than requesting tests without guidance, speak to a healthcare professional who can help determine which investigations are appropriate for you.
