- Abstract
Medical science undergoes continuous development and improvement over the years - both the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases are changing, as well as the transition from the general solution for the treatment of the sick to the individual approach, which includes different ways tailored to the needs of each patient according to his needs. In this regard, the clinical laboratory as a medical specialty undergoes continuous development - new technologies are introduced, the spectrum of clinical-laboratory research is expanded, preserving the traditions of the founders of laboratory medicine. In modern medical practice, great importance is attached to laboratory tests, the results of which provide an objective assessment of the state of the body. The methods of laboratory diagnostics are used to confirm the clinical diagnosis, to specify the causes of the diseases, to characterize the severity of their course, to make a prognosis and to choose the appropriate etiological, pathogenetic and symptomatic therapy.The relevance and significance of the topic is determined by the fact that, on a global scale, the concept of laboratory medicine is used and considered as an integral part of the treatment of the patient. Without the data from the clinical and laboratory results, it is impossible to make the most accurate diagnosis, control the disease process and apply effective drug therapy. This gives reason to consider laboratory diagnostics as an irrevocable and significant part of all medico-biological disciplines. The aim of this article is to study and analyze the changes in the development of the clinical laboratory worldwide from the distant past to the present day, creation and development of the discipline in Bulgaria, as well as to reveal the opportunities and challenges faced by modern laboratory medicine. Materials and methods: The research includes a study of documents and sources regarding the development of laboratory medicine as a specialty, the challenges it faces and the prospects for its development. Methods of analysis and theoretical reasoning were used based on the available scientific literature. Conclusions: Based on the overview, it is proven that laboratory medicine around the world and the clinical laboratory in Bulgaria are constantly developing and improving, preserving the traditions created by the founders and leading to the creation of new highly qualified specialists, worthy successors of the doyens in the discipline that is entering in a new era of its development - introduction of innovative precision equipment, standardization, continuous communication between the clinician and the laboratory doctor, between the laboratory result and the correct and timely clinical decision.
