Clinical Pathology
Our Clinical Pathology department plays a vital role in diagnosing a broad spectrum of conditions by analyzing blood and other bodily fluids. We offer a range of tests that help in routine health assessments, disease diagnosis, and monitoring of chronic conditions. Our advanced diagnostic tools and expert team ensure accurate and timely results.
A CBC is a comprehensive blood test that evaluates the number and types of blood cells present. It helps diagnose conditions like anemia, infections, and blood cancers, and monitors overall health.
The frequency of metabolic panels depends on individual health conditions and doctor recommendations. It is often included in routine health check-ups or used to monitor specific conditions such as diabetes or kidney disease.
Coagulation tests measure how well and how quickly your blood clots. These tests are important for diagnosing and managing bleeding and clotting disorders and for monitoring anticoagulant medication effectiveness.
Complete Blood Count (CBC):
A CBC measures various components of the blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. It is essential for diagnosing conditions such as anemia, infections, and blood disorders. The test provides information about blood cell counts, sizes, and overall health.
Metabolic Panel:
The metabolic panel evaluates the levels of various chemicals and electrolytes in the blood, including glucose, calcium, sodium, and potassium. This panel helps assess kidney and liver function, electrolyte balance, and overall metabolic health.
Coagulation Tests:
Coagulation tests measure the blood’s ability to clot. These tests are crucial for diagnosing bleeding disorders, such as hemophilia, and for monitoring patients on anticoagulant therapy. Common tests include prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT).
