Haematology and Coagulation

This division of pathology deals with estimation of your overall health, cell counts and study of cell morphology to diagnosis of blood disorders, infection ranging from simple infections to cancers, anaemiaetc.

Bleeding disorder, and tests related to blood genetic disorders are also performed here using some advanced techniques like flow cytometry and HPLC etc.

Few of the Haematology services are,

  • Routine haematology testing (CBC)
  • Coagulation tests (blood grouping)
  • Urinalysis
  • Flow Cytometry

The haematology department encompasses most advanced, sensitive, and precise instruments and well experienced faculties enabling accurate and prompt diagnosis of hemoglobinopathies and coagulation deformities.

The department offers a wide range of routine and special coagulation assays such as PT, APTT, fibrinogen, TT, protein C activity, protein S activity, antithrombin III activity, lupus anticoagulant, specialised factor assays such as F-VIII activity, F-IX and vWF (Von Willebrand Factor) and routine haematological assay such as CBC, reticulocyte count, platelet count.

We drive for quality in this department by going an extra mile to ensure accuracy, efficiency and speedy reporting; all the hemoglobinopathies are thoroughly studied and correlated with the CBC, ethnicity and clinical history. Moreover, all the abnormal CBC samples are cross checked with a peripheral smear to avoid any misinterpretations.

Our wide range of manual assaying include sickling test, osmotic fragility, HAMS, sucrose lysis, special staining for leukaemia such as LAP, Sudan black, and Myeloperoxidase and blood parasite studies such as malaria, filaria and leishmania in blood and bone marrow. We also analyse semen samples which includes testing for counts, motility, fructose, viability, concentration of round cells, semen cytology/ round cells (germ cells) morphology and detailed study of sperm morphology as per Kruger’ criteria.
