Clinical Biochemistry is the analysis of bodily fluids to monitor the health of your major organs. This department covers essential profiles for the Liver (LFT), Kidneys (KFT), Heart (Lipid Profile), and Blood Sugar management. It is the cornerstone of routine health checkups and disease monitoring.
Overview:
Biochemistry is the branch of laboratory medicine that focuses on the chemical processes occurring within the human body. By analyzing the levels of chemicals, enzymes, fats, and hormones in your blood, urine, or other body fluids, we can gain a precise picture of how well your organs are functioning.
From diagnosing diabetes to assessing the risk of heart disease, Biochemistry is vital for both preventive healthcare and the management of chronic conditions. Our state-of-the-art analyzers ensure rapid and highly accurate results, helping doctors make informed decisions about your treatment.
What does this category cover?
-
Diabetes Monitoring:
-
Fasting & Random Blood Sugar: Checks current glucose levels.
-
HbA1c: Measures average blood sugar over the last 3 months.
-
-
Organ Function Profiles:
-
Liver Function Test (LFT): Checks for liver damage, jaundice, and enzyme levels (SGOT, SGPT, Bilirubin).
-
Kidney Function Test (KFT): Evaluates how well kidneys filter waste (Creatinine, Urea, Uric Acid).
-
-
Heart Health & Lipids:
-
Lipid Profile: Measures Cholesterol, Triglycerides, HDL (“good” cholesterol), and LDL (“bad” cholesterol) to assess cardiac risk.
-
-
Electrolytes & Minerals:
-
Sodium, Potassium, Chloride: Vital for fluid balance and nerve function.
-
Calcium, Phosphorus: Essential for bone health.
-
-
Cardiac Markers:
-
Troponin / CK-MB: Enzymes released during heart stress or attack.
-

General Patient Instructions
(These apply to most tests in this category)
-
Fasting: Many biochemistry tests (especially Sugar, Lipid Profile) require 8–12 hours of fasting.
-
Sample Type: Primarily Blood (Serum/Plasma) and Urine.
-
Medications: Inform the lab if you are taking supplements (like Vitamin C or Biotin), as they can sometimes interfere with chemical assays.
