Biochemistry is the branch of science dedicated to the study of the chemical processes within a cell.
The findings of biochemistry are applied primarily in medicine, nutrition, and agriculture. In medicine, biochemists investigate the causes and cures of diseases. Several blood tests are carried out to detect the presence of disease, monitor its progression, and evaluate the effectiveness of treatments.
Blood Tests
A blood test is carried out with a blood specimen that measures the concentration of certain chemicals in a blood sample. Blood tests are essential for understanding the body's internal function and balance. They analyse various breakdowns in the blood, including ions, enzymes, sugars, lipids, and proteins, providing crucial insights into overall health. Blood chemistry tests provide significant information about how well our kidneys, liver and other organs are working.
