Abstract :

 Background: Laboratory investigations are an important and reliable tool for proper diagnosis and treatment, carried out to confirm the findings or to estimate the aetiology. It is only an aid and has to be interpreted in its true essence for the medication to be effective to the fullest.

Objectives: To study the biochemical profile of patients admitted in a tertiary health care centre.

Study Design: A Retrospective Study.

Setting: Central Clinical Laboratory of MIMER Medical College, Talegaon Dabhade, Pune and Department of Biochemistry, MIMER Medical College, Talegaon Dabhade, Pune.

Data Sources and Analysis: Biochemical laboratory investigation results of 1525 IPD patients were obtained and analysed for abnormal findings.

Results: The diagnostic yield of various tests were calculated. About 76.52 % of the patients were detected with deranged values. The biochemical parameters with highest diagnostic indices were Fasting Blood Glucose, Serum Direct Bilirubin, Serum Chloride and Serum Aspartate Transaminase (SGOT). To the contrary, Serum Proteins showed the least diagnostic index.  

Conclusion: Laboratory investigations do assist a clinician in proper diagnosis, treatment and prevention of any illness or complications arising out of it. But unnecessary investigations must be ruled out in order to reduce the expenditure, man power and machinery damage due to overload.
