👉 Diagnostic fluids are essential components of laboratory medicine used to analyze bodily fluids such as blood, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, and pleural fluid for the purpose of diagnosing various diseases and conditions. These fluids are collected from different parts of the body, each serving unique diagnostic needs; for instance, blood is used for detecting anemia or infections, while cerebrospinal fluid helps diagnose neurological disorders. Diagnostic fluids undergo a series of tests to identify abnormalities, such as changes in cell counts, protein levels, or the presence of specific pathogens, aiding healthcare professionals in making accurate diagnoses and guiding treatment plans.
