Tatva! Theories! Principles!

Blood, urine, sputum, and stool tests are common diagnostic tools used in medicine to assess various aspects of health. Each type of test provides valuable information about different bodily functions and can help healthcare professionals diagnose and monitor a wide range of conditions. Here's a brief overview of each type of test:

1. Blood Tests: Complete Blood Count (CBC): Measures different components of the blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
Blood Chemistry Tests: Assess levels of various chemicals and substances in the blood, such as glucose, cholesterol, electrolytes, and enzymes.
Blood Clotting Tests: Evaluate the blood's ability to clot and can detect disorders like hemophilia or monitor the effectiveness of anticoagulant medications.

2. Urine Tests: Urinalysis: Examines physical and chemical properties of urine, including color, clarity, pH, and the presence of substances like glucose, protein, and blood.
Urine Culture: Identifies and quantifies bacteria or other microorganisms in the urine to diagnose urinary tract infections.

3. Sputum Tests: Sputum Culture: Identifies bacteria or fungi in respiratory secretions to diagnose respiratory infections such as pneumonia or bronchitis. Cytology: Examines cells in the sputum to detect abnormal changes that may indicate lung diseases or cancer.

4. Stool Tests: Stool Culture: Identifies bacteria, viruses, or parasites in the stool to diagnose gastrointestinal infections.
Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT): Detects hidden blood in the stool, which may indicate gastrointestinal bleeding.
Stool pH Test: Measures the acidity of the stool, helping to diagnose conditions such as malabsorption.
