Essential diagnostics include a complete blood count (CBC), liver function tests, coagulation profiles (PT/INR, PTT), and kidney function screenings. An abdominal ultrasound is mandatory to confirm the clinical diagnosis before the procedure.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Blood diagnostics:</strong> CBC, metabolic panel, and clotting studies assess infection and bleeding risks.</li> <li><strong>Abdominal ultrasound:</strong> A fresh scan is required within weeks to verify gallbladder pathology.</li> <li><strong>Heart screening:</strong> Most clinics require an ECG/EKG for patients over 40 years old.</li> <li><strong>Safety protocols:</strong> Pregnancy tests are non-negotiable for female patients of childbearing age.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Bookimed Expert Insight:</strong> While many international patients attempt to bring results from home, Polish clinics like KCM Clinic or The Holy Family High Specialty Hospital often require fresh labs performed 1–2 weeks before surgery. Coordinating your blood work immediately upon arrival prevents delays caused by abnormal results that need pre-clerkship clearance.</p> <p><strong>Patient Consensus:</strong> Patients often find that tests from local GPs are not accepted.
