Hematology
Introduction to Laboratory Hematology
Laboratory hematology encompasses all blood tests, and provides both quantitative and qualitative characteristics of analysed blood. The work of hematologists is usually divided into three areas: diagnosis of hematological disorders, management of hematological disorders, and blood transfusion. The diagnosis of hematological disorders is based on clinical history and examination, measurement of parameters in the blood, and microscopic examination of blood films, bone marrow aspirates and trephine samples. Automated machines measure multiple parameters in samples of blood; the most common are: Hb concentration, Red cell count, Hematocrit, red cell indices (MCV, MCHC), white cell count (WCC, DIFF), platelet count, and coagulation screening.
Quality You Deserve
Complete Blood Count (CBC) Test
Our CBC test provides a detailed analysis of red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin, and platelets. This test helps in diagnosing infections, anemia, and other blood-related conditions. We ensure accurate results using modern laboratory equipment. Fast reporting and strict quality control help doctors make reliable medical decisions. Patient care and accuracy are our top priorities.
Peripheral Blood Smear
A blood smear examination offers insight into the quantity, shape, and varieties of blood cells as part of a hemogram. It enables the measurement of leukocytes (DIFF), an approximate assessment of platelet numbers, and the detection of structural abnormalities associated with disease. Blood films can demonstrate alterations in red blood cell size and morphology (for example, anisocytosis, poikilocytosis, and macrocytosis) as well as the presence of atypical white cells, such as blasts in leukemia. Observations like rouleaux formation may point to abnormal plasma constituents, such as elevated antibody levels. Flow cytometry, which is applied for immunophenotyping, is vital for identifying and tracking hematological neoplasms by detecting and counting cells tagged with antibodies against specific antigens that reflect cell identity, function, and maturation.
