Genetic laboratory tests, PCR tests
Why is laboratory testing important?
Laboratory tests can help identify or, where appropriate, rule out underlying diseases of certain symptoms.
However, it is important to emphasize that the result of a laboratory test does not in itself make a diagnosis, the finding only contains the results. You will receive the diagnosis, therapy or treatment recommendation from your specialist or treating doctor who orders the laboratory tests.
Contact your doctor with all laboratory test results!
Genetic tests
Genetic laboratory tests are suitable for determining predisposition to disease, which can help us do something to prevent the development of the disease (e.g. lifestyle changes, prevention).
A genetic test only needs to be performed once for everyone because our genetic store is a hereditary substance received from parents that does not change during our lives.
Molecular microbiological tests (PCR tests)
The presence of the microbe can be detected by a PCR test based on the DNA/RNA matter of the microbe.
PCR (polymerase chain reaction) is a molecular biology technology that allows a small piece of DNA to be amplified for analysis. In the case of infectious diseases, it can be performed immediately after infection, so that it is possible to make a diagnosis long before the onset of symptoms and start treatment in time. PCR technology makes it possible to detect infection even if the immune response is missed for some reason, or if the test does not give a false-positive result, even in the case of previous infections.
