Medical Laboratory Professionals Week 2025 (Lab Week), taking place April 20–26, 2025, honors the essential contributions of laboratory professionals and pathologists in advancing patient care, diagnostics, and clinical decision-making. As integral members of the healthcare team, laboratory experts provide the foundation for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.
In recognition of their role, this edition of Guidelines Rundown focuses on laboratory-related clinical practice guidelines published over the past four years. These guidelines—issued by leading medical societies—support high-quality care by offering evidence-based recommendations for diagnostic testing, result interpretation, laboratory safety, and quality assurance. In the sections that follow, we highlight the guidelines that enhance the interface between laboratory medicine and clinical practice.
