What is a Blood Draw?
A blood draw, also known as venipuncture, is a common medical procedure where a small sample of blood is taken from a vein. This sample is then analyzed in a laboratory to diagnose various health conditions, monitor treatment progress, and evaluate overall health.
Why Blood Draws are Important
Blood draws are crucial for diagnosing and monitoring a wide range of health conditions. From routine check-ups to specific medical concerns, blood tests can provide valuable insights into your body’s functions, helping your healthcare provider make informed decisions.
