How accurate are pathology test results?
Edited
Blood test results are generally very accurate, but several factors can affect their precision. Variables like improper fasting, dehydration, or medications can alter results. Additionally, lab errors, while rare, can occur.
If a result seems inconsistent with your symptoms or history, your healthcare provider may recommend repeating the test.
