Hematology is the study of the blood cells. There are 3 kinds of cells in the bloodstream: Red Cells transport oxygen from the lungs to other parts of the body. White Cells are vital in fighting infection. Platelets help stop bleeding by forming "plugs" in the vessels. A CBC measures the total amount of hemoglobin and the total number of red cells, white cells, and platelets. There are many different kinds of Chemistry tests. Some examples of "routine" chemistry tests are: Glucose is measured for the diagnosis and monitoring of Diabetes Mellitus. BUN/Creatinine are tests of kidney function. Sodium and Potassium are salt balance tests. They are important in people with disease and in those taking diuretics. Bilirubin, Alkaline Phosphatase, ALT, AST and GGT are liver function tests. Total Protein and Albumin provide information about liver function, kidney disease, infection, nutrition, and certain disorders of the antibody producing cells. TSH and Free T4 detect disorders of the thyroid gland. Coagulation testing is ordered to rule-out a bleeding disorder. Some people take anticoagulants to prevent their blood from clotting too quickly. The PTINR is used to monitor these medications. The Microbiology lab helps to find what is causing an infection, and how the doctor should treat it. Testing can be done on a wound or sore, blood, urine or stool. The specimens are smeared on a small plate of agar (a gelatin-like material) and placed in an incubator that is maintained at body temperature. After incubating, the plates are examined for bacterial growth. The technologists determine what types of bacteria are present, and which antibiotics would be best for treatment, usually within two days. For some slowly growing organisms, it may take up to six weeks to get the final results. Urinalysis is a common evaluation consisting of several chemical tests. These tests help detect diabetes, liver disease, diseases of the kidney and bladder, and some blood disorders and infections. The urine may also be examined under a microscope to confirm findings.
