- APTT (Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time): another test of how well your blood clots, ensuring you are ready for surgery
Kidney function and blood sugar
- U&E (Urea & Electrolytes): evaluates kidney function and electrolyte balance, vital during and after surgery
- Glucose: measures blood sugar levels, particularly important for diabetic patients undergoing surgery
Infection screening
- HIV: tests for HIV antibodies to assess infection risk before surgery
