Lab Labels For Medical Tests

For example, A doctor may order a blood test for a patient who is suspected of having a bacterial infection. If the results of the initial blood test are inconclusive, the doctor may order additional tests, such as a culture or a sensitivity test. The laboratory may hold the patient's blood sample until the results of the additional tests are available.

Hold for Possible Additional Testing labels are used for a variety of reasons, including:

• The specimen may need to be tested for additional conditions or diseases.
• The specimen may need to be tested using a different method.
• The specimen may need to be tested by a different laboratory.
