Clinical Analysis

Laboratory tests examine samples such as blood, urine or stool. They provide information that can help a doctor investigate a health problem, monitor a condition or assess the response to treatment.

They may also form part of routine health assessments or screening, when appropriate. The choice of tests depends on each person’s situation and what needs to be investigated.

How does the service work at Clinimed?

Patients are seen on a first-come, first-served basis, with no appointment needed, Monday to Friday, from 8 am to 4:30 pm, and on Saturdays, from 8 am to 12 noon.

If you have a doctor’s request for tests, please bring it with you. You can also request tests without a doctor’s referral, specifying which tests you would like to have. If you are unsure which tests are appropriate for your situation, seek medical advice before choosing them.

Do you need to fast?

Not all tests require fasting. Preparation depends on the tests requested, so you should check the instructions before your visit. Do not change or stop taking your medication on your own initiative.

If you have questions about preparation or feel anxious about having a sample taken, you can share these concerns with the laboratory technician. These concerns are a reason to seek clarification, and you do not need to dismiss them.

How do you receive and understand your results?

Results are sent by email or can be collected in person at the clinic.

The laboratory technician can answer questions, but a diagnosis is made during a medical consultation. Results should be interpreted alongside symptoms, medical history and other relevant information. A value outside the reference range does not, on its own, mean that you have a disease.

Do you have any questions before your visit?

Contact Clinimed to clarify any questions about the tests you would like to have.
