Pathology services
Clinical Pathology
Involves the analysis of bodily fluids (blood, urine, cerebrospinal fluid) and cells to diagnose diseases and monitor treatment responses. Common tests include complete blood count (CBC), blood chemistry panels, and urinalysis.
Anatomic Pathology
Focuses on the examination of tissues and cells to diagnose diseases. This includes surgical pathology (examining tissues removed during surgery) and cytopathology (examining individual cells).
Histopathology
Examines tissues at a microscopic level to identify abnormal cellular structures and patterns. It is crucial for diagnosing conditions like cancer.
Microbiology
Identifies and studies microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, to diagnose infections and guide treatment decisions.
Immunology
Focuses on the immune system and includes tests such as serology to detect antibodies and antigen tests for infectious diseases.
Emetology
Analyzes blood and blood-forming tissues to diagnose disorders such as anemia, leukemia, and clotting disorders.
Laboratory services
Diagnostic Testing
Conducting a variety of diagnostic tests to identify the presence of diseases or abnormalities. Examples include blood tests, imaging studies, and genetic testing.
Blood Tests
Analyzing blood samples to assess various parameters, including complete blood count (CBC), blood chemistry, lipid profile, glucose levels, and more.
Urinalysis
Examining urine samples to assess kidney function, detect urinary tract infections, and identify other health conditions.
Drug and Toxicology Testing
Detecting the presence of drugs or toxic substances in the body, important for clinical and forensic purposes.
Clinical Chemistry
Assessing chemical components in bodily fluids to evaluate organ function, electrolyte balance, and detect abnormalities.
Genetic Testing
Analyzing an individual’s genetic material to identify genetic disorders, assess disease risk, and guide personalized treatment plans.
