Overview

Laboratory tests are analytical procedures performed on biological specimens such as blood, urine, and tissue to detect, diagnose, monitor, and predict disease, providing objective measurements that inform clinical decision-making. They span clinical chemistry, haematology, microbiology, immunology, and molecular diagnostics, encompassing assays for cells, proteins, metabolites, antibodies, nucleic acids, and microorganisms. Test selection and interpretation depend on analytical validity, reference ranges, sensitivity and specificity, and the clinical context, and increasingly incorporate biomarkers and molecular techniques for greater precision. Research relevant to this area examines tests used in the diagnosis of immune thrombocytopenia and the evaluation of inherited and acquired bleeding disorders, including genetic mutations in coagulation factors and von Willebrand factor parameters. Further work addresses laboratory analysis of home-collected samples for sexually transmitted infections, immunological biomarkers in unexplained infertility, claims-based severity classification, and the use of biomarkers such as C-reactive protein in infection. Allied strands consider the epistemology of medical practice and the integration of laboratory data into diagnosis. The discipline underpins evidence-based medicine, screening, and disease surveillance. The journal publishes peer-reviewed research involving laboratory testing, including haematological and coagulation assays, biomarker discovery, and the application of laboratory methods to diagnosis and monitoring.
