Hematology
Hematology is the study of blood, blood-forming tissue, and
disorders of blood. Common tests used in the investigation
of hematological problems include full blood counts, blood
films, and bone marrow biopsies. These tests allow us to
see if there is an infection or the need for a blood
transfusion.
Chemistry
Chemistry allows the lab to test the different organs and
enzymes of the body and measure how they are functioning.
Coagulation
Coagulation of
blood is a complex process during which blood forms
solid clots. Chemical interactions are required to dissolve
the blood clot as the body heals. This process allows us to
measure the effect of the chemical provided.
Urinalysis
Urinalysis is used to test whether there are infections of
the urine. Urinalysis can reveal diseases that have gone
unnoticed because they do not produce striking signs or
symptoms. Examples include diabetes mellitus, various forms
of kidney disease, and chronic urinary tract infections.
Blood Banking
The
hospital also does blood banking. We collect, test,
process, and store blood. This is vital for emergency and
surgical medical reasons. You can ensure that our laboratory
is safe and effective when it comes to the use of blood and
its components. |
