At Ali Ahmad Khan Hospital, our pathology laboratory offers a wide range of diagnostic tests and services, including:
- Clinical Chemistry: We perform tests to evaluate the levels of various substances in the blood, such as glucose, cholesterol, electrolytes, liver and kidney function markers, hormones, and more. These tests aid in diagnosing metabolic disorders, monitoring treatment effectiveness, and assessing overall health.
- Hematology: Our laboratory conducts tests to analyze blood cells and components, including complete blood counts (CBC), coagulation studies, blood typing, and blood smear examinations. These tests help in diagnosing anemia, infections, bleeding disorders, and monitoring response to treatment.
- Microbiology: We perform microbiological tests to detect and identify infectious microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. This includes cultures, sensitivity testing, molecular diagnostics, and antigen/antibody testing. Microbiology testing is crucial in diagnosing and managing infectious diseases.
- Immunology and Serology: Our laboratory offers tests to evaluate immune system function, detect antibodies or antigens related to specific diseases, and assess autoimmune disorders. This includes tests for infectious diseases, autoimmune markers, allergy testing, and immunoglobulin levels.
- Histopathology: We analyze tissue samples obtained through biopsies, surgeries, or autopsies to examine cellular and tissue changes associated with diseases. Our pathologists use various staining techniques and microscopic examination to provide detailed information for diagnosis, staging, and treatment planning.
- Cytology: Our laboratory performs cytological examinations to analyze individual cells collected from body fluids, such as Pap smears, fine-needle aspirations, and fluid aspirations. Cytology aids in the diagnosis of cancer, infections, and other cellular abnormalities.
- Molecular Diagnostics: We utilize advanced techniques to detect specific DNA, RNA, or protein markers associated with genetic disorders, infectious diseases, and certain types of cancer. Molecular diagnostics provide precise and targeted information for diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment decisions.
