HAEMATOLOGY TEST ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW
Haematology tests are performed to diagnose many health and disease conditions.
FULL BLOOD COUNT TESTING Full blood count testing is a routine test that evaluates three major components in the blood: leukocytes (WBC), erythrocytes (RBC) and platelets.
WHITE BLOOD CELLS TESTING WBC’s are responsible for assisting the body’s defences in fighting illness and disease. People who are fighting infection or suffering from anaemia have an increased number of white blood cells.
RBC TESTING Through dehydration, stress, anxiety or failure of the bone marrow, the number of red blood cells in the body can be increased. It may decrease in number as a result of chemotherapy treatments, chronic inflammations, blood loss and due to some types of cancer.
CHOLESTEROL CHECKING If the cholesterol level is increased above a certain level it may lead to several heart diseases and other potentially fatal conditions. With the help of a cholesterol test, the patient can take action to lower blood cholesterol.
BLOOD GLUCOSE TESTING With the help of blood glucose testing, one can identify the amount of glucose in the blood. This blood test is carried out in patients with type 1 and 2 diabetes.
HEMATOCRIT It is the ratio of plasma to red blood cells. This test is usually carried out when hydration levels and anaemia are suspected of causing problems.
