Clinical Laboratory Services at Chinar Türkiye Clinic
The following laboratory-diagnostic services are available
at Chinar Türkiye Clinic and Laboratory Branch:
Hematopathology Section
The hematology section offers a full battery of routine
& special hematology tests, including complete blood count utilizing a
5-part differential analyzer, peripheral blood smear, hematological
malignancies.
The coagulation tests including PT/ INR, APTT, plasma/ serum
mixing tests are also performed on fully automated systems. The staff include
the supervision of one Consultant Hematopathologist.
Body fluid (pleural fluid, peritoneal fluid, CSF, cystic
fluid and urine).
Molecular pathology: Utilizes polymerase chain reaction
(PCR) techniques to diagnose diseases including viral hepatitis (hepatitis A,
hepatitis B, hepatitis C), HIV and tuberculosis. And we available for the first
time in Afghanistan Multiplex PCR (MPCR) simultaneously amplifies multiple DNA
targets from a single sample in one reaction tube by using multiple primer
pairs.
Microbiology
Two units of most modern blood culture systems are working
in the lab. Modern autoclave, bio-safety cabinet class IIA, the modern
incubator has been acquired to do quality testing at the lab. Bacteriology has
been improved by adding better identification tests like bioMérieux’s API which
is a well-established method for microorganism identification to the species
level. Anaerobic bacteriology has been strengthened as anaerobic cultures are
now done on a routine basis. The lab is aligned with the quality policy of the
hospital and regularly participates in the external quality control survey of
the College of American Pathologists (CAP).
Clinical Biochemistry
Chemical Pathology at TCC offers clinical chemistry tests in
routine as well as specialized areas.
A wide range of analytical techniques, for example,
measurement of enzyme activities and spectrophotometry. Automated techniques
for operation and management of highly automated testing systems capable of
producing thousands of results in a day. All assays are closely monitored and
quality controlled. Examples of tests in Clinical Chemistry include:
Routine Chemistry
Special Chemistry
Evaluation of endocrine organ function
