Hematology

Monocytes

The Monocytes test measures the absolute count or percentage of monocytes in the blood, which are critical components of the immune system that help in breaking down bacteria and removing cellular debris. This test is often used to assess immune system function and diagnose various conditions such as infections, autoimmune disorders, and blood disorders.

Hematology

Mean Platelet Volume (MPV)

Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) is a blood test that measures the average size of platelets. It helps assess platelet function and production, as larger platelets are usually younger and indicate active platelet production from the bone marrow, which can be relevant in various medical conditions including clotting disorders and bone marrow diseases.

Microbiology & Parasitology

Herpes PCR

Herpes PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) is a laboratory test designed to detect the genetic material of the herpes simplex virus (HSV) in bodily fluids, such as blood or lesions. It is often performed to confirm an active herpes infection, differentiate between HSV-1 and HSV-2, and guide appropriate treatment decisions.

Hematology

Factor X

The Factor X test measures the activity of Factor X, a crucial protein in the blood coagulation cascade. It is primarily used to assess bleeding disorders, monitor anticoagulant therapy, and evaluate the risk of thrombosis.

Hematology

Fibrinogen

The Fibrinogen test measures the level of fibrinogen, a protein essential for blood clotting, in the blood. This test is often performed to assess bleeding disorders, monitor liver function, or evaluate the risk of thrombotic diseases.

Ultrasound

Doppler Ultrasound Upper Limbs (Venous)

The Doppler Ultrasound Upper Limbs (Venous) test evaluates blood flow in the veins of the arms, utilizing ultrasound technology to detect abnormalities such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). It is commonly performed to assess circulation issues, ensuring timely diagnosis and treatment to prevent complications.
