When this treatment may help
Laboratory tests can help answer specific questions about inflammation, wounds or other symptoms. The history and examination determine which tests are needed. A laboratory value alone often does not explain symptoms.
How the treatment works
The practice cooperates with “Ihr Labor”, allowing blood collection in the practice. Wound swabs and analysis of aspirated fluid are also among the diagnostic services available.
What happens at your appointment
We first define the clinical question, then collect the appropriate samples for analysis. Beforehand, we discuss whether any preparation is needed and how you will receive your results.
What you can expect
The aim is to inform the next treatment decision. Results are interpreted alongside your symptoms and previous findings. A result outside a reference range does not automatically mean a disease needs treatment.
Limitations and possible risks
Not every test is useful for every symptom. Unfocused testing can lead to incidental findings and additional investigations. Blood collection can cause minor bruising or a faint feeling.
Preparing for your appointment
Ask whether fasting is necessary; this depends on the test. Do not stop medication on your own. Bring previous results so that unnecessary repeat investigations can be avoided.
Costs and insurance
The practice accepts all public health insurances and offers private treatment. This does not mean every individual service is covered. The scope, possible personal costs and follow-up are discussed before starting.
