Range of tests
Our rapid laboratory selection covers the most common inflammation and infection markers, as well as a complete blood count (CBC) and rapid blood glucose. The tests help distinguish between viral and bacterial infections, assess the body’s inflammation level, and support the doctor’s treatment decisions.
- CRP (inflammation marker) – indicates the body’s inflammation level.
- CBC (Complete Blood Count) – reveals potential infections and signs of anemia.
- Rapid blood glucose – assesses sugar balance quickly.
- Influenza and COVID-19 rapid tests – assist in diagnosing infectious diseases.
- Urinalysis – detects infections and other abnormalities.
Interpretation of results and follow-up
The doctor interprets the test results immediately and provides a diagnosis and treatment recommendations based on them. If the results indicate a more serious inflammation or infection, treatment is started immediately on-site. If necessary, we arrange further examinations, such as X-rays or specialized laboratory samples.
