Clinical context

Clinical pathway & questions

How this diagnostic category is organized

Tests in Pharmacogenomics & Preventive Medicine are grouped into first-line screening and biomarkers, reflex assays that may follow an initial result, and confirmatory genetic panels. The appropriate pathway depends on the clinical question and any prior results; a larger panel is not automatically the right choice.

Consult a qualified clinician or genetic counselor before booking. They can help determine whether testing is suitable and explain how results should be interpreted alongside your medical history.

Before sample collection

Confirm the specimen, preparation instructions and collection options for your selected test with the laboratory. Requirements differ by test and location.

Common questions

Questions about Pharmacogenomics & Preventive Medicine

How do I choose between routine screening and a genetic panel in Pharmacogenomics & Preventive Medicine?

The right option depends on the clinical question, symptoms, family history and any previous results. A routine screen or focused marker may answer a specific question; a genetic panel examines selected genes. Discuss suitability and interpretation with your clinician or a genetic counsellor before booking.

How are samples collected and prepared across Kenya?

Sample type, preparation and handling vary by test. Confirm the current instructions with the laboratory before collection. Nationwide and home sample collection can be arranged subject to your location, the specimen requirements and transport conditions.

Can SHIF/SHA or private insurance cover tests in Pharmacogenomics & Preventive Medicine?

Coverage depends on your scheme, the specific test, referral and pre-authorisation rules, and provider arrangements. Verify eligibility, any co-payment, and direct-billing or reimbursement requirements with your insurer and the laboratory before booking. Listing a test does not guarantee coverage.
