Medical Biochemistry is a medical specialty that encompasses the scientific principles, application and evaluation of laboratory tests used to support the diagnosis of diseases, monitor treatment, assess disease-related risks and evaluate overall health.
Biochemical analyses performed on blood, urine and other biological samples can provide important information about the body’s metabolic processes, organ function, hormonal balance, fluid and electrolyte status, and many other physiological processes.
At the LÖSANTE Hospital Medical Biochemistry Department, laboratory processes are managed through a comprehensive approach that includes proper sample collection, appropriate transportation and processing, laboratory analysis, and the technical and medical evaluation of results.
Laboratory results should not be used alone to establish a diagnosis. They should be interpreted by a physician together with the patient’s medical history, physical examination findings, other laboratory tests and, when necessary, imaging results.
Medical biochemistry is the field of medicine that examines biological and chemical processes in the human body through laboratory methods.
As the organs and systems of the body function, numerous biochemical substances are produced, used or eliminated. Measuring these substances in blood, urine or other biological samples can help investigate various medical conditions and assess a person’s current health status.
Medical biochemistry tests may be used for many purposes, including:
The tests required for each patient are determined according to age, symptoms, existing medical conditions, medications and the physician’s clinical assessment.
A wide range of parameters can be evaluated in the Medical Biochemistry Laboratory. The scope of testing is determined according to the patient’s clinical needs and the physician’s request.
Assessment of blood glucose levels plays an important role in the diagnosis and follow-up of diabetes.
Depending on clinical requirements, testing may include:
Results should be interpreted together with the patient’s clinical condition and other findings.
Various biochemical tests are used to assess the kidneys’ ability to eliminate metabolic waste and contribute to fluid and electrolyte balance.
Parameters such as creatinine, urea and electrolytes may be used to evaluate kidney function. When appropriate, results may also be considered together with calculations such as the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).
Because changes in kidney function tests cannot be interpreted solely on the basis of laboratory results, clinical evaluation is essential. Results may be considered together with the assessment provided by Internal Medicine and Nephrology when clinically appropriate.
The liver performs many essential functions, including protein synthesis, metabolism and the processing and elimination of various substances.
ALT, AST, ALP, GGT, bilirubin, albumin and other relevant parameters may be used in the evaluation of conditions involving the liver and biliary system.
As changes in these tests may occur for many different reasons, results should be assessed together with the patient’s clinical findings.
Assessment of cholesterol and triglyceride levels is an important component of cardiovascular risk evaluation.
A lipid profile commonly includes:
Laboratory results are evaluated by the physician together with the patient’s age, existing medical conditions and other cardiovascular risk factors.
Electrolytes and minerals such as sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus play important roles in nervous system function, muscle activity, heart rhythm, bone metabolism and fluid balance.
Changes in these levels may be associated with a variety of conditions, ranging from kidney disease and hormonal disorders to medication use and fluid loss.
Therefore, when evaluating electrolyte abnormalities, identifying the underlying cause is as important as the laboratory result itself.
Hormones regulate many processes in the body, including growth and development, metabolism, reproductive function and the stress response.
Depending on clinical requirements, laboratory tests may be performed to evaluate thyroid function, reproductive hormones, the adrenal system and other endocrine functions.
When interpreting hormone test results, factors such as age, sex, pregnancy status, medication use, sample collection time and other clinical characteristics may need to be considered.
Proteins, enzymes and other biochemical substances found in the blood can provide valuable information about the function of various organs and systems.
Total protein, albumin and different enzymes, as well as other biochemical parameters considered necessary according to the patient’s clinical condition, may be analyzed.
Laboratory tests are not used only when symptoms of disease are present. They may also be requested to assess disease-related risks or monitor an existing medical condition.
Medical biochemistry tests may be used to:
The laboratory tests required may differ from one patient to another. For this reason, testing should be planned according to clinical necessity.
The reliability of laboratory tests does not depend solely on the analytical stage. The preanalytical process, which begins before sample collection and continues until analysis, is an important stage that can affect the accuracy of laboratory results.
Depending on the test, factors that may influence results include:
Patients should therefore follow the preparation instructions provided by healthcare professionals before laboratory testing.
Laboratory reports generally include reference intervals alongside test results. However, a result outside the reference interval does not always indicate the presence of a disease. Similarly, a result within the reference interval does not, by itself, exclude a medical condition.
Reference values may vary depending on the analytical method used, laboratory conditions, age, sex and certain physiological characteristics.
For this reason, laboratory results should not be interpreted in isolation. They should be evaluated together with the patient’s clinical condition and other medical findings.
The interpretation of laboratory results in children may differ from that in adults. During the neonatal period, infancy, childhood and adolescence, reference intervals for certain biochemical parameters may vary according to age and developmental stage.
At the LÖSANTE Hospital Medical Biochemistry Department, an age- and condition-appropriate approach is emphasized when evaluating laboratory processes involving pediatric patients.
Biochemical tests can make an important contribution to clinical assessment, particularly in the evaluation and follow-up of growth and development, metabolic diseases, endocrine disorders and chronic conditions.
In laboratory services, standardization of processes and patient safety are as important as obtaining accurate results.
Correct patient identification, proper sample collection and labeling, transportation under appropriate conditions, monitoring of analytical processes and accurate reporting of results are fundamental stages of laboratory services.
Medical biochemistry specialists play an important role in ensuring that laboratory tests are performed using appropriate methods, evaluating analytical processes, implementing quality control procedures and, when necessary, communicating with clinicians regarding laboratory results.
The Medical Biochemistry Department works in close collaboration with almost all clinical departments within the hospital.
Laboratory data are used to support diagnostic and follow-up processes in Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Endocrinology, Nephrology, Cardiology, Oncology, Hematology, Obstetrics and Gynecology, surgical specialties and many other medical disciplines.
Through this multidisciplinary approach, laboratory findings are considered as part of the patient’s overall clinical picture and contribute to diagnosis, treatment and follow-up.
The LÖSANTE Hospital Medical Biochemistry Department aims to provide laboratory services required for the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of pediatric and adult patients in accordance with scientific standards.
Analyses performed on blood, urine and other biological samples support the evaluation of organ function, metabolic processes, hormonal balance and a wide range of biochemical parameters.
At every stage of the laboratory process, proper sample management, analytical quality, reliability of results and patient safety are among our key priorities.
Working in close collaboration with clinical departments, the Medical Biochemistry Department aims to ensure that laboratory findings contribute effectively to the comprehensive evaluation of each patient.
