Over 70% of diagnostic and treatment decisions made by doctors are based on medical laboratory test results. Without the work of laboratory professionals, physicians would not be able to confirm their diagnosis. Lab results can give the exact diagnosis or can point toward a possible cause which may be confirmed by further testing. Be it a case of diabetes or malignancy or infection or a case of cardiac disease it is impossible to proceed with the treatment without laboratory investigations. In short treating a patient without lab support is like sailing an uncharted sea.
