Blood tests and diagnosis of diseases in Valencia

What do you need to know before getting a blood test?

In the Valencian Community (Comunidad Valenciana) we have laboratories (biochemical and genetic) in which all laboratory examinations are available for all categories of patients. Many tests are specific to a particular disease or a group of related diseases. And other laboratory tests are often used for chronic conditions.

When you visit your attending physician, you will most likely receive a referral for analytical blood tests, or analysis of other biological fluids and tissues.

We perform analysis mainly for these main reasons:

Screening is a type of tests to detect an early stage or latent form of the disease
Diagnosis of diseases and confirmation of the diagnosis – tumor markers
Assessment of the severity of the disease in order to establish treatment
Monitoring treatment response and prognosis

I would like to remind all patients and some specialists that the most important thing is a complete and concise history of a person’s illness, with all the details, and then laboratory tests.  Therefore, it is completely unacceptable to first do all sorts of tests and then start compiling the patient’s medical history.  

All information is provided here for the correct orientation and familiarization of patients with all the existing possibilities of modern medicine in Spain, but, without a doubt, we strongly advise against self-diagnosis.
