Many conditions can be diagnosed and treated by discussing symptoms and examination alone. However, in some cases further investigations are necessary. These include:
• Blood tests
• Microbiology (swabs etc)
• Imaging / Radiology
- assess your general health status
- check for infections
- assess how well certain organs, such as the liver and kidneys, are working
- screen for certain genetic conditions
Most blood tests only take a few minutes to complete and can be arranged with a short appointment at Medcliniq.
