Description

INTRODUCTION Laboratory tests are used by clinicians for diagnosis, monitoring and prognosis in patients with different diseases. A number of factors, primarily preanalytical and analytical or normal biological variations affect the accuracy of test results. Preanalytical factors such sample collection and handling, diet, exercise and drugs can all impact a test result. The key characteristics of any test are its bias and imprecision. Bias is primarily an analytical characteristic, in which reported results differ from the actual value. Imprecision, or lack of reproducibility, is due to both physiological and analytical factors (1).
