Pathology
At Tenet, we pride ourselves on providing quality services for the prevention and accurate detection of diseases. The latest technology, sophisticated equipment and stringent quality measures let us do this consistently. Under our roofs, your patients will find the full spectrum of services from routine CBP and Blood Glucose tests to highly specialised investigations for infectious diseases, cancer markers, hormonal assays and more. Each discipline is headed by reputed and experienced medical professionals supported by teams of rigorously trained technologists. All quantitative investigations are done on fully automated, state-of-the-art analysers in our Central Processing Lab, that meets the clean room standards with the capacity of processing 15000 tests per day.
LCMSLCMS is a speciality division of biochemistry which deals with the quantitative analysis of proteins in blood and urine samples. This technique has numerous applications including newborn screening for various treatable disorders ,quantification of drugs and vitamins.
ImmunologyImmunology tests deal with the detection of antigen and antibodies present in the blood in response to a particular pathogen. These tests are used in infectious diseases, cancers, organ transplantation, and autoimmune disorders.
Clinical BiochemistryClinical biochemistry deals with the measurement of analytes, which aims to diagnose and monitor various diseases. This department includes a large number of diagnostic tests that help understand pathogenesis and etiology of different diseases. It is essential for early diagnosis of a disease and also assessment of its therapy efficacy
HematologyThis division of pathology deals with estimation of cell counts and study of cell morphology to diagnose various blood disorders ranging from simple infections to cancers. Bone marrow studies bleeding disorder tests and tests related to blood genetic disorders are also performed here using some advanced techniques like flow cytometry and HPLC etc.
Clinical PathologyThis division of pathology deals with study of various body fluids like urine, CSF, ascitic fluid, synovial fluid, pleural fluid etc. The quantitative estimation of cell counts helps in the presumptive diagnosis of various conditions thus helping in the differentiation of infectious from non infectious and malignant causes.
MicrobiologyThis department deals with tests to detect microbes like the bacteria, virus and fungi. Different manual and automated techniques are used to identify the organisms present in blood and body fluid. The antibiotic sensitivity pattern to that particular organism can be obtained for appropriate treatment.
CytogeneticsThis department deals with the tests related to detect the structural and numerical abnormalities in the chromosomes responsible for various disorders.These tests are used to diagnose a few cancers and genetic disorders.
Molecular PathologyThis department deals with the DNA and RNA based tests for particular genes present in blood, body fluid and tissue. These molecular techniques are used to diagnose and monitor some infectious disease, cancers etc.
CytopathologyThis is a diagnostic division of pathology that deals with study of cellular elements obtained by minimal invasive procedures like fine needle aspiration of palpable superficial swellings and other studies include morphological study of cells collected using a cyto brush. PAP smear test is the best example. These procedures are quick, efficient and a non-traumatic way of detecting cancers and aid in differentiating from non cancers.
HistopathologyThis division of pathology deals with study of surgically excised tissue involving microscopic examination using routine and special stains. Ancillary tests like immunohistochemistry, Frozen sections, Immunofluorescence are also used for precise diagnosis. Services of this division play an essential role in diagnosis and prognostication of both cancers and non cancers.
