Blood Tests

Blood tests have a wide range of uses and therefore are one of the very commonly ordered medical tests.

A blood test is useful for:

• checking your general health
• checking if you have an infection
• seeing how well certain organs are working – such as the liver and kidneys
• screening for certain genetic conditions

A blood sample will be needed for your blood tests.

In DF Medical Centre your blood sample will be taken by a phlebotomist (a specialist in taking blood samples), available every Tuesday and Friday between 13.00 and 14.45.

Besides blood tests we collect urine, stool, microbiology samples and can access histology, genetic testing, etc.

We work with Tallaght Hospital and two other private laboratories and are able to provide all tests that modern Laboratory Medicine has to offer.
