Hematology

Hematology is a medical specialty that is dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of blood diseases, among which we have: Oncological diseases such as leukemias-Lymphomas Thrombosis Bleeding diseases such as hemophilia Anemias such as iron deficiency, among others They also help us diagnose viral, bacterial or parasite diseases Among the hematological tests that we can offer you are: Complete blood count: analyze how your leukocyte levels (immune system) are, your hemoglobin levels and your platelets Clotting time including PT and PTT Erythrocyte sedimentation rate...

Clinical Chemistry

Clinical Chemistry is a branch of microbiology that deals with the study of the functionality of organs individually or together, for the diagnosis, monitoring, treatment control, prevention and investigation of disease Among the profiles offered in the laboratory we have: Kidney function tests: creatinine and urea nitrogen Liver function tests: total and fractionated bilirubins, total and fractionated proteins, transaminases, ALP and GGT Control of diabetic patient: Glucose, glycated hemoglobin, creatinine, urea nitrogen and microalbuminuria Lipid Control: Total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, Triglycerides and atherogenic index Control of adults: Total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, Glucose and uric acid Infection profile: PCR Electrolyte control: Sodium, Potassium, Magnesium, Calcium, Phosphorus and...

Hormones

Within the services of the Laboratory is the Hormones section, whose function is to determine the levels of various hormones in the body, either in a blood or urine sample Among the profiles that we find we can list: Reproductive hormones: LH, FHS, Progesterone, Estradiol Thyroid hormones: TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Anti-thyroglobulin, Thyroglobulin Adrenal hormones: Cortisol, Aldosterone Pituitary Hormones: Prolactin, Growth Hormone, Thyroid Stimulating Hormone,...

Parasitology

In the Parasitology Section of the Laboratory, the study of living parasitic organisms and their relationship with the hosts, human beings and the environment, is carried out for their appropriate use in diagnosing a disease and determining the best treatment Among the samples that are analyzed in Parasitology are: Stool sample: we can find amoebae, eggs or larvae Blood sample: we can find malaria, filariasis Sample of tissue scrapings: we can find...

Bacteriology

The Clinical Bacteriology section is responsible for the identification of infectious disease-causing bacteria through various procedures in addition to potentially effective therapeutic agents To identify these causes and develop an efficient therapy, it is essential to isolate and identify the microorganisms, therefore, generally the results of these tests last three to five days Subsequently, the corresponding sensitivity tests of the agents are carried out to verify the efficiency of the therapeutic agent Among the samples that are analyzed in bacteriology are: Urine culture: urine sample Stool culture: stool sample Sample of tissue scrapings Secretions: vaginal, urethral (penis), otic (ear), among others Body fluids: peritoneal, articular, among...

Clinical Immunology

Clinical Immunology is a specialty of Microbiology that is based on the study of the immune system (organs, tissues and cells) whose function is to recognize foreign elements giving an immune response In the Immunology laboratory section we can analyze: Alterations in the physiological functioning of the immune system, autoimmune diseases, hypersensitivities, immunodeficiencies For example, Celiac Disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis, among others Recognition of antigens or antibodies when we face bacteria, viruses or parasites For example, Sexually transmitted diseases, CRP-COVID, among...
