About the Test

The fluids that are present within a person s body are commonly referred to as body fluids. There are various types of bodily fluids found in the human body, and they account for over 60% of the body s liquids. The body fluid culture test is one that is carried out on the different bodily fluids. This test s purpose is to assist in finding, isolating, and identifying any more harmful bacteria that may be in the body. Because they provide a clearer picture of the types of diseases or disorders prevalent in certain body sections, it can also be performed on other body fluid types.

What happens during a blood test?

A health care provider will need to take a sample of your blood. This is also called a blood draw. When a blood draw is taken from a vein, it's known as venipuncture; It is the most common type of blood collection.

What beforehand preparations need to be done for the test?

Most blood tests do not require any special preparations. For some tests like lipid or glucose tests you may need to fast (not eat or drink anything except water) for around 8 to 12 hours. Your doctor will provide all the instructions, in case any special instructions are to be followed before the test.

Are there any associated risks with a blood test?

"There is very minimal risk with having a finger prick test or venipuncture. During venipuncture, you may have slight pain or bruising at the spot where the needle was put in, but most symptoms go away quickly.
Collecting blood from an artery is more painful than collecting from a vein, but complications are rare. You may have some bleeding, bruising, or soreness at the spot where the needle was put in. Also, you should avoid lifting heavy objects for 24 hours after the test."

What else do I need to know about blood test?

"Blood testing provides important information about your health; however, it does not always give sufficient information about your condition. If you had a blood work, you may need other types of tests before your doctor can make a definitive diagnosis."
