sections of the clinical laboratory: it is considered to be one of the busiest section in the laboratory
clinical chemistry - test of blood and other body fluids to quantify essential soluble chemicals - blood and urine are the 2 most common body fluids subjected for analysis - majority of tertiary-level clinical lab - thyroid hormone (TSH -T3 and T4) *characterized as a state-of-the-art, fully automated facility
sections of the clinical laboratory: it is intended for the testing of blood and other body fluids to quantify essential soluble chemicals including waste products useful for diagnosis
clinical chemistry - blood and urine are the 2 most common body fluids subjected for analysis - majority of tertiary-level clinical lab - thyroid hormone (TSH -T3 and T4) *characterized as a state-of-the-art, fully automated facility
sections of the clinical laboratory: blood and urine are the most common fluids subjected for analyses in this section
clinical chemistry - test of blood and other body fluids to quantify essential soluble chemicals - majority of tertiary-level clinical lab - thyroid hormone (TSH -T3 and T4) *characterized as a state-of-the-art, fully automated facility
in the clinical chemistry, what are the 2 common body fluids subjected for analyses
urine blood
examples of test performed in clinical chemistry
FBS - fasting blood sugar HbA1c - for diagnosis of diabetes n total cholesterol HDL - high density lipoproteins LDL - low protein lipoproteins TAG, triglycerides - used for the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases BUA - blood uric acid BUN - blood urea nitrogen creatine - for diagnosis of diseases involving the kidney TP, total protein thyroid hormones test drug testing toxicology *hormone in the blood and urine are also measures under endocrinology
what are the 4 four sections that microbiology is subdivided into
bacteriology mycology mycobacteriology virology *more focused on the identification of bacteria and fungi on specimens received
sections of the clinical laboratory: it focused on the identification of bacteria and fungi on specimens
microbiology - submitted are blood and other body fluids, stool, tissues, and swabs from dffierent sites in the body
what are some examples of tests performed in microbiology (CAAMP,II,BIQ)
culture media preparation antigen typing biosafety proper waste disposable infection control
sections of the clinical laboratory: it deals with the enumeration of cells in the blood and other body fluid
hematology and coagulation studies - body fluids like CSF, pleural fluid - coagulation studies focus on blood testing for the determination of various coagulation factors
what are examples of tests performed in the hematology and coagulation studies
CBC hemoglobin hematocrit WC differential count red cell morphology and cell indices quantitative platelet count total cell count and differential count blood smear preparation staining for other body fluids
sections of the clinical laboratory: detection and identification of parasitic worms and ova are the primary activities in this area
clinical microscopy
what are the 2 major areas in the clinical microscopy
first major: macroscopic examinations to determine - color - transparency - specific gravity - ph level microscopic examinations to detect presence of - abnormal cells and/or parasites - quantify red cells and wbc and other chemicals found in urine second major: examination of stool or routine fecalysis - detection of parasitic worms and ova are the primary activities
what are the 2 main activities in the blood bank/ immunohematology
blood typing compatibility testing *this section is considered as the most critical in the lab
it is the most critical section in the clinical laboratory
blood bank / immunohematology
what are the other test performed in the immunohematology
blood donation donor recruitment blood component preparation antibody screening and identification
sections of the clinical laboratory: analyses of serum antibodies in certain infectious agents primarily viral agents are performed
immunology and serology examples: hepatitis B profile tests serological tests for syphilis tests for hepatitis C dengue fever
what equipment is commonly used in the immunology and serology
automated analyzer
what are some test performed in the immunology and serology
hepatitis B profile tests hepatitis C test dengue test serological test for syphilis
it is the place where specimens collected from individuals are processed, analyzed, preserved, and properly disposed
clinical laboratory - specimens like blood, other body fluids, tissues, feces, hair, nails - essential component of health institutions - main task is to provide accurate and reliable information to medical doctors for diagnosis, prognosis, treatment and management of diseases - actively involved in research, community outreach programs, surveillance, infection control inn hospital
what are the classifications of clinical lab according to function
CLINICAL PATHOLOGY - focuses on the areas of clinical chemistry immunohematology and blood banking medical microbiology immunology and serology hematology parasitology clinical microscopy toxicology therapeutic drug monitoring endocrinology among others - concerned w the diagnosis and treatment of diseases performed through lab testing of blood and other body fluids ANATOMIC PATHOLOGY - focuses on the areas of histopathology immunohistopathology cytology, autopsy forensic pathology among others - concerned with the diagnosis of diseases through microscopic examination of tissues and organs
what are the classifications of clinical lab according to institutional characteristics
institution-based clinical lab - operates within the premises of part of an institution - hospital basaed free-standing clinical lab - not part of the institution
what are the classifications of clinical lab according to ownership
government-owned: - wholly or partialy by national or local govt - examples: clinical and anatomical laboratories of DOH-run government hospitals like the San Lazaro Hospital Jose R. Reyes Memorial Medical Center University of the Philippines-Philippine General Hospital and local government-run hospital-based clinical laboratories of the Ospital ng Maynila Medical Center Sta. Ana Hospital Bulacan Medical Center privately-owned: - owned, established and operated by an individual, corporation, institution, association or organization - examples: St. Luke’s Medical Center Makati Medical Center MCU-FDTMF Hospital
what are the classifications of clinical lab according to service capability
primary category - 10 square meters secondary category - 20 square meters tertiary category - 60 square meters national reference laboratory
identify the classifications of clinical lab according to function: it is concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases performed through laboratory testing of blood and other body fluids
