Laboratory tests are among the most critical medical tools that contribute to the early detection of chronic diseases before clear clinical symptoms appear. This early detection is a crucial step in reducing complications and improving the chances of treatment and disease control. These tests rely on measuring specific biomarkers in blood or urine, such as glucose levels, lipids, liver and kidney functions, and inflammatory proteins. For example, blood sugar tests can predict diabetes in its early stages, while lipid tests help assess the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Conducting periodic laboratory examinations enhances health awareness among individuals and promotes the concept of prevention before treatment. This, in turn, reduces the health and economic burden of chronic diseases on both the individual and society. --- University of Al-Mustaqbal Ranks First Among Iraqi Private Universities
