Rules of blood sampling for laboratory tests

Abstract

There are rules that are mandatory when taking biological material for laboratory research. For the results of the study, not only the age, gender, race of the patient, factors of biological variation are important, but also the time of blood collection, physical activity, emotional state, the use of certain products, pharmacological preparations and biological additives. Analysis of a sample taken with a violation may be more dangerous for the patient than the absence of a study. This is fraught with incorrect tactics of the doctor when monitoring the course and pharmacotherapy of an already known disease and diagnostic errors in primary and / or differential diagnosis.
