Blood Grouping is a method to tell what specific type of blood you have. What type you have depends on whether or not there are certain proteins, called antigens, on your red blood cells. ABO blood group system classifies four blood types: O, A, B and AB (in relation to erythrocyte agglutination with neither, anti-B, anti-A or both anti-A and anti-B antisera); donor blood must be compatible with the recipient's blood group, i.e. A can receive A and O blood; B can receive B and O blood; AB (universal recipient) can receive AB, A, B or O blood; O (universal donor) can receive only O blood.

Neonatal hemoglobin electrophoresis is a blood test used to measure and identify the different types of hemoglobin in blood in kids. It helps to diagnose diseases (called hemoglobinopathies) involving abnormal hemoglobin production, such as sickle cell disease and thalassemia in kids.

Sickle cell test is a simple blood test used to determine whether or not you have sickle cell disease or sickle cell trait. Sickle cell disease is an inherited blood disease that causes red blood cells to be deformed (sickle-shaped camera.gif). The red blood cells deform because they contain an abnormal type of hemoglobin, called hemoglobin S, instead of the normal hemoglobin, called hemoglobin A. Sickled blood cells are destroyed by the body faster than normal blood cells. This causes anemia. Also, sickled cells can get trapped in blood vessels and reduce or block blood flow. This can damage organs, muscles, and bones and may lead to life-threatening conditions.

A total iron-binding capacity (TIBC or transferrin) test is used to measure the amount of iron in the body. It helps to detect iron deficiency or iron overload. It is a part of Iron Deficiency Profile. It is always advisable to go for complete profile, as level of each test in profile are considered while making decision on diagnosis as well as monitoring the treatment.

Iron Deficiency Profile are a group of blood tests that are done to evaluate the iron level in blood serum, the body's capacity to absorb iron, and the amount of iron actually stored in the body. There are three different types of tests that measure the body's iron levels and storage. They are called iron level tests, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) tests, and transferrin tests. These tests are given for several reasons: To help in the differential diagnosis of different types of anemia, to assess the severity of anemia and monitor the treatment of patients with chronic anemia, To evaluate protein depletion and other forms of malnutrition, To check for certain liver disorders, •To help diagnose certain unusual disorders, including iron poisoning, thalassemia, hemosiderosis, and hemochromatosis.

This test uses a microscope to detect bacteria called acid-fast bacilli in fluid or tissue samples. This test is used to detect tuberculosis. A sample of sputum, bronchial samples, blood, cerebrospinal fluid, urine, stool, or other body fluids or tissues may be collected for this test.

A culture is a test helps determines what organism is causing an infection by allowing the bacteria to grow to be better examined and a sensitivity determines how the organism can best be treated.

Reports in Fungal Smear Same day,Culture Report 2 weeks

Fungal tests are used to help detect and diagnose a fungal infection, to help guide treatment. Fungal cultures are used to evaluate for suspected fungal disease (eg, candidiasis).

A Gram stain of the material from an infected site are the most commonly performed microbiology tests used to identify the cause of a bacterial infection. Gram stain of the specimen smeared on a slide to determine numbers of bacteria, whether cocci or bacilli and whether gram–negative or gram–positive. In a case of meningitis, for example, the gram stain gives a presumptive diagnosis and dictates initial antibiotic treatment.

A stool culture is used to detect the presence of disease-causing bacteria (pathogenic) and help diagnose an infection of the digestive tract.

Reports in AFB Smear same day,Interim Report 1- 10days,Interim report 2-3 weeks,Final report 6 weeks

TB cultures are used to diagnose active M. tuberculosis infections. They are used to help determine whether the TB is confined to the lungs (pulmonary disease) or has spread to organs outside the lungs (extrapulmonary disease). AFBcultures can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment and can help determine when a patient is no longer infectious.

Blood cultures are used to detect the presence of bacteria or fungi in the blood, to identify the type present, and to guide treatment.

A pus culture is primarily ordered to help determine whether a wound is infected and to identify the bacteria causing the infection.

This test measures blood levels of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), also known as Serum Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (SASE). The primary function of ACE is to help regulate arterial pressure. The ACE test is used primarily to detect and monitor the clinical course of sarcoidosis (a disease that affects many organs, especially the lungs), to differentiate between sarcoidosis and similar diseases, and to delineate between active and inactive sarcoid disease. Elevated ACE levels are also found in a number of other conditions, including Gaucher's disease (a rare familial disorder of fat metabolism) and leprosy.
