Clinical Chemistry
Clinical chemistry examines substances found in blood and other accepted body fluids to provide information about important body functions and health indicators.
At New Padre Garcia Hospital, clinical chemistry tests may support the assessment of blood sugar, cholesterol, kidney function, liver function, electrolytes, and other medically relevant concerns.
These examinations may be requested during a general consultation, preventive check-up, hospital admission, surgical preparation, treatment review, or continued monitoring of an existing medical condition.
Some tests may require fasting, timed collection, dietary preparation, or specific medication instructions. Patients should confirm the requirements before specimen collection.
