What Is Clinical Chemistry Testing?

Clinical Chemistry testing encompasses a series of laboratory tests performed to analyze chemical components in blood, urine, and other body fluids. This examination is the backbone of laboratory diagnostics — nearly every patient admitted to a hospital requires at least one type of clinical chemistry test.

Results of these tests help physicians establish diagnoses, monitor disease progression, evaluate treatment effectiveness, and determine patient prognosis.

Types of Clinical Chemistry Tests
