What is Haematology?

Haematology is the study of blood and blood disorders that is usually done by Haematologists and Hematopathologists who are highly trained and specialized in identifying diseases of the blood and blood components which include blood and bone marrow cells. Haematological tests can help diagnose conditions like anaemia, blood infections, haemophilia, blood-clotting disorders, and leukaemia.

Who is a Haematologist?

A haematology is an internist who has specialized in the diagnosis and management of haematologic diseases, especially cancer

Who is a Haematopathologist?

A hematopathologist is well versed in both anatomical and clinical pathology and has additional years of training in hematopathology. The haematopathologist focuses on the diagnosis of conditions of the haematopoietic and lymphocyte-rich tissues (organs and tissues like the lymph nodes, the spleen, thymus, and other lymphoid tissue which uses blood cells to perform their physiologic functions) by directly examining the tissues and blood in the laboratory.

What are the common haematology tests done?
  • Complete blood count (CBC), which includes, White blood cell count (WBC), Red blood cell count (RBC) and Platelet count
  • Haematocrit red blood cell volume (HCT)
  • Haemoglobin concentration (HB)
  • Differential white blood count
  • Red blood cell indices (measurements) that helps to diagnose certain blood cancers, anaemia, inflammatory diseases and to monitor blood loss and infection
  • Platelet count for monitoring and diagnosing certain types of bleeding and clotting disorders
  • Prothrombin time (PT) Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT) International Normalized Ratio (INR) for evaluating bleeding and clotting disorders and to monitor anticoagulation (anticlotting) therapies.

Our clinical microbiology laboratory services help in the accurate identification of infectious diseases caused by microorganisms like aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, fungus, parasites, virus and mycobacteria. The specimen (blood, urine, nasal/throat swab, saliva) received from the patient is studied using latest, advanced technologies and tests to identify the microorganism responsible for causing the disease. We also do serological tests for detecting any antibodies present in serum (a blood component) in response to an infectious disease.

The following are the different tests done at our microbiology and serology laboratory:
  • Bacterial tests which include blood culture and sensitivity tests, urine culture and sensitivity tests, throat swab culture and sensitivity tests, sputum culture and sensitivity tests, ear swab culture and sensitivity tests, eye swab culture and sensitivity tests, pus swab culture and sensitivity tests, body fluid culture and sensitivity tests, aspirate or deep wound culture and sensitivity tests, cerebro spinal fluid culture and sensitivity tests, stool culture and sensitivity tests, vaginal swab culture and sensitivity tests.
