  4. Assessment of bone marrow
  5. Full blood count:
  6. Assessment and staining of immature platelets
  7. Blood film
Biochemistry:

Biochemistry is the branch of science, particularly the application of chemistry to the study of biological methods at the cellular and molecular level.

It examines the chemical processes within and related to living organisms. It is a laboratory-based science that combines chemistry and biology. By using chemical principles and techniques, biochemists can understand and solve biological problems.

Biochemistry has become the base for recognizing all biological processes. It has provided explanations for the causes of many diseases in humans, animals, and plants.

The Clinical Laboratory performs a variety of tests to establish the diagnosis of several conditions.

Some of the standard tests in biochemistry conducted at AVIVO Clinics, Pathology Lab, Dubai, are:
  • Blood Sugar/Glucose Test
  • Liver Function Test
  • Lipid Profile
  • Kidney Function Test
Microbiology:

Microbiology is the study of microscopic organisms. They may be unicellular or multicellular. Pathology is the section of medical sciences that deals with the research and analysis of organs, tissues, and body fluids for the detection of disease. Pathology represents the scientific study of disease, which can explain any irregularity that is causing differences in the structure or function of body parts.

Microbiology tests performed at AVIVO Clinics Pathology Lab, Dubai, are primarily concerned with helping doctors in the diagnosis and management of microbial diseases, respiratory tract, meningitis, and ailments of the digestive system. Samples commonly tested are blood, urine, faeces, and sputum.

Serology

At AVIVO Clinics Pathology Lab, Dubai, a serology blood test takes place to diagnose and measure the number of antibodies as a consequence of exposure to a particular bacteria or viruses.

When people get exposed to viruses, their body’s immune system creates specific antibodies against the organism. Antibody levels help doctors conclude if an infection took place recently or years ago.

The virus (Antigens) are substances that can provoke a response from the immune system, and they are often too small to view with the naked eye. Antigens can enter the human body through the mouth, broken skin, or nasal passages.

The following are the antigens that commonly affect people:
  • bacteria
  • viruses
  • parasites

Cytology:

Cytology is the study of individual cells. Cytopathology deals with the study of individual cells in diseases. Tissue from a patient is applied b onto a slide and stained. It is examined under the microscope by the anatomical pathologist to know the number of cells on the slide, the types of cells they are, how they make a group together, and the cell details (shape, size, nucleus). This information is useful in deciding if a disease is present and what could be the diagnosis.
