Biochemistry laboratories, which study biochemical mechanisms, play an important role in disease prevention, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, prognosis and monitoring of treatment. These laboratories study organ function by performing chemical and molecular biological analyses on biological materials (serum, plasma, tissues and other body fluids).
Biochemistry laboratories are in constant collaboration with clinicians. They analyze biochemical data used in clinical studies and present the results to clinicians in consultation. In this way, the diagnosis and treatment process of patients can be managed more effectively and accurately.
The analysis methods used in biochemistry laboratories consist of chemical and molecular biological techniques. These techniques include spectrophotometry, electrophoresis, enzyme immunology, nucleic acid analysis and genetic testing. Thanks to these methods, the levels of biochemical parameters are determined to check whether the organs are functioning in a healthy way. Biochemistry laboratories play an important role in the diagnosis and follow-up of many diseases. For example, they assess the risk of cardiovascular diseases by determining the levels of blood fats (lipids). Likewise, by measuring blood glucose levels, they diagnose diabetes and monitor the treatment process. Liver function tests detect liver diseases. Such tests are very important in the early diagnosis of diseases and in monitoring the response to treatment.
