A) Haematopathology

The Haematopathology Unit works round the clock and caters to the out-patients and in-patients. All abnormal Haematology parameters are counter checked by Pathologists and the reports are released online. We participated in the external Quality Control Assurance Programme from All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi & Christian Medical College, Vellore.

The haematopathology laboratory investigations include;

  • Routine Blood Counts including Reticulocyte parameters & peripheral films
  • Bone Marrow Study of unexplained anaemia, detection of stage IV malignancies, myelomas and leukemias
  • Basic Coagulation Tests & detection and suspected case of F VIII deficiency state (Hemophilia) diagnosis [in process of implementation ]
  • Testing to aid in diagnosis of haemolytic anaemia such as Osmotic Fragility , HPLC – variant for Hemoglobinopathies [in process of implementation] and Sickle cell test.

In due course of time, we plan to build our current Haematopathology Unit into a facility with provision for Leukaemia and Lymphoma Diagnostics [Including Flow cytometry], Molecular Genetics for Hereditary Coagulation disorders and Hemoglobinopathies.
