[vc_row full_width=”0″ full_height=”0″ particles=”0″][vc_column][vc_column_text]We have partnered with imaging and diagnostic centres to make your visit hassle free. Our diagnostic centres are well equipped with highly sophisticated, modern state of the art technology and provide timely, cost-effective and high quality service. <\/span><\/p>\n

We provide wide range of services from routine blood tests like complete blood picture to hormonal assays using automated blood cell counter, Chemiluminescent Immunoassay (CLIA) and Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent (ELISA) assays. <\/span><\/p>\n

We are also equipped with brain imaging facilities like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography scan (CT-scan), X-ray, electroencephalogram (EEG) and nerve conduction velocity (NCV) tests. \u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_tta_accordion shape=”square” color=”white” spacing=”10″ c_icon=”chevron” active_section=”100″ collapsible_all=”true”][vc_tta_section title=”Haematology” tab_id=”Haematology”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]Is a branch of medicine that deals with diagnosis and treatment of blood and bone marrow related disorders. Common hematology tests include complete blood count to diagnose <\/span>anaemia<\/b> (low number of red blood cells), <\/span>leukemia<\/b> (low number of white blood cells), <\/span>thrombocytopenia<\/b> (low number of platelets), <\/span>leucocytosis<\/b> (increase in number of WBC) and <\/span>thrombocytosis<\/b> (increase in number of platelets). All the tests are performed by collecting blood samples by a haematologist. <\/span><\/p>\n

Other haematology tests include<\/span><\/p>\n

Haematocrit (HCT) <\/b>– measures the volume of RBC in blood. Low levels of HCT indicate anaemia, bone marrow problemas and kidney problems. High levels of HCT is seen in people living in mountain regions, bone marrow disorders and smokers.<\/span><\/p>\n

ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate)<\/b> – measures the rate at which RBC sediments. Helps in identifying inflammatory conditions autoimmune diseases, viral or bacterial infections. Autoimmune conditions can be further identified by specific tests like RA factor for rheumatoid arthritis and thyroid antibodies for hashimoto thyroid. <\/span><\/p>\n

C- reactive protein<\/b> (CRP test)- measures for CRP protein in the blood plasma. Indicator for inflammation in body. Increase levels of CRP indicates presence of infection, cancer, autoimmune conditions etc. As this is only a marker, further tests are required to confirm the disease. <\/span><\/p>\n

Prothrombin time (PT)<\/b> – measures time blood takes to clot. This test is performed to evaluate clotting disorders. Prolonged PT means blood takes longer to clot and could be due to clotting factor deficiency. <\/span><\/p>\n

Thyroid hormones regulates body metabolism and can affect body weight, mood swings, fertility. Hypothyroidism is when thyroid gland do not produce enough hormones. When there is excess production of thyroid hormones, causes hyperthyroidism. <\/span><\/p>\n

Hypo and hyperthyroidism can also occur due to autoimmune antibodies to thyroid. They do not produce any visible symptoms like enlargement of thyroid gland as with other cases of thyroiditis. Autoimmune thyroiditis can be detected by thyroid antibodies test.<\/span><\/p>\n
