A clinical analysis centre is fundamental within the field of medicine, and with technological methodologies in constant progress, the results are quicker and more precise. So the task of finding a suitable center can be complex.
In addition, the terminology used doesn’t help a lot, since it practices an unusual vocabulary. Let’s face it, it’s not a coffee shop conversation, but, specialized conversations that use specific terms, just like in any other profession.
Therefore, in the following paragraphs, we hope to be able to help, using a more practical terminology. With comparisons that can be referred to in a cafeteria and that will allow you to formulate a more educated decision.
What to look for in a clinical analysis centre?
One of the first steps to take, when searching for a clinical analysis centre, are the types of analysis provided by the center. As we have previously reported, advances in medicine are many and new products emerge continuously.
If we look at THIS’, we can find up to 16 types of analysis on offer, such as: Biochemistry, Hematology, Immunology, Endocrinology, Allergies or Serology.
The top clinical analysis centre’s requests
-
- Blood Count – the components of the blood and the tissues that form it are studied (bone marrow, lymph nodes…). Taking the Earth as a reference, it could be compared with an analysis of the waters that flow through it and its effects on forests, jungles and beaches.
- Biochemistry – analysis of the chemical elements of the liquid fractions in the blood and urine (glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, uric acid, creatinine …). Continuing with the Earth as a reference, we would be analysing the liquid components that exist in fresh and salty waters. Providing data in relation to the existing pollution and its effects.
- In coagulation – hemorrhagic, thrombotic and hypercoagulable conditions are detected in these analysis. In this case we would be analysing the flow’s state in oceans, seas, rivers, lakes and streams; their speed, congestion and freezing zones.
- In microbiology – there is a wide variety of analysis such as: immunology (studies the immune system), feces, tumor markers, endocrinology to evaluate the endocrine system, allergies and toxicology. This section could be referred to as the study of natural disasters in the earth (earthquakes, tidal waves, explosions, cyclones and poisonings).
If the above has enriched you and has helped you know exactly what you are looking for, the next step is to find a center that suits your needs. Once we have assured that the center offers the analysis in accordance with what is required, we must take into account the location, professionalism of the team and the facilities.
