Clinical Laboratory

Clinical laboratory is a set of physicochemical, biochemical and biological research methods that enable the study of the composition and properties of human biological fluids (e.g. blood) and tissues in order to detect pathological processes occurring in the body.

Laboratory tests contribute to the:

• Identification of pathological processes occurring in the human body;
• Determination of health problem causes and monitoring of disease course;
• Selection of correct treatment modality and assessment of treatment results; 
• Identification of disease development risk factors;
• Identification of environmental factors' effect on health.

During treatment, your doctor may need to prescribe repeated additional tests to monitor the effectiveness of your treatment regimen.

Different profile tests are performed at the Institute of Clinical Oncology. The laboratory is equipped with modern automated analyzers. The following tests are conducted on the US-produced biochemical automated analyzer MEDICA eazy Ra, FUJIFILM:

 

• Liver functional tests;
• Renal functional tests;
• Lipid spectrum;
• Glucose and glycated hemoglobin test;
• Total protein and albumin test;
• Pancreatic enzyme test;
• Measuring microelements: magnesium, phosphorus, total calcium, iron. Determination of rheumatoid factors.
• Electrolyte and gas analysis is performed on EasyStat Medica analyzer.

 

Hematological tests are performed at modern, Germany-produced 5 part 29 parameters Humstar 5 D automated analyzer.

General analysis of Urine is performed on a Combylizer 13 analyzer. The laboratory performs immunological studies for the diagnostics of endocrine and oncological pathologies, and metabolic disorders and for treatment monitoring. 

Tests on immunoassay analyzer Snibe MAGLUM 800, tests are performed using the chemiluminescence method and include various test systems.

 

Laboratory study of endocrine gland function:

• Thyroid gland hormones;
• Pituitary hormones;
• Sex hormones;
• Metabolic disorders;
• Vitamins.

 

Cancer markers:

• Common carcinoembryonic antigen;
• Breast;
• Cervical;
• Ovarian;
• Gastrointestinal tract;
• Prostate;
• Beta chorionic gonadotropin;
•  Alpha fetoprotein
• Cardiac markers

 

Also, the level of vitamins in blood sugar is measured

Blood coagulation system examination is performed on a German-produced automated analyzer CV 600.

All the tests performed in the lab are permanently involved in International external quality control (ESFEQA, GMBH) and daily internal quality control is conducted that provides accuracy and reliability of tests.

The key principle of the laboratory operation is to perform each analysis with the highest possible accuracy in a short timeframe.
