analizele

Analizele, in Romanian, refers to the analyses or tests performed to assess health, diagnose conditions, or monitor treatment. The definite plural form analizele is used when talking about specific analyses for a patient. While the term can apply to various kinds of analysis, in common usage it denotes medical laboratory tests ordered by a clinician.

Medical analyses are typically carried out in laboratories and cover a range of domains. Common categories include hematology analyses, such as a complete blood count; biochemical analyses that evaluate liver and kidney function (for example, enzymes, bilirubin, creatinine); metabolic panels including electrolytes and glucose; lipid profiles; and endocrine tests such as thyroid function. Additional analyses may include urinalysis, stool tests, microbiology cultures, pregnancy tests, and, when indicated, genetics or other specialized assays. Some contexts also involve imaging studies alongside laboratory markers.

Process and interpretation: A clinician orders analyses based on symptoms, screening guidelines, or treatment follow-up. Biological samples—most often blood, urine, or stool—are collected by trained personnel following standardized procedures and sent to a laboratory. Trained technicians perform validated assays and generate results with reference ranges and units. Clinicians interpret results in conjunction with the patient’s history, physical examination, and other investigations. The timing of analyses can vary; fasting or timed samples are sometimes required.

Limitations: Laboratory results are informational and must be interpreted within the clinical context. Variability can arise from pre-analytical factors (sample collection and handling), analytical methods, and biological variation. Abnormal results often lead to repeat testing or additional investigations to confirm findings.
