Clinical Biochemistry

Clinical Biochemistry

The Clinical Biochemistry department at Rejath Lab specializes in analyzing bodily fluids such as blood, urine, and other samples to provide essential information about patients' health status and biochemical functions. This department plays a critical role in diagnosing diseases, monitoring patient health, and guiding treatment plans. Here’s an expanded description of its functions and capabilities:

Key Functions and Capabilities

  1. Routine Biochemical Testing:

    • Blood Glucose: Monitoring blood sugar levels to diagnose and manage diabetes.
    • Lipid Profile: Assessing cardiovascular risk by measuring cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, and LDL levels.
    • Electrolytes: Measuring sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate levels to evaluate electrolyte balance and kidney function.
    • Renal Function Tests: Assessing kidney health through blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine levels.
    • Liver Function Tests: Evaluating liver health with enzymes such as ALT, AST, alkaline phosphatase, and bilirubin levels.
    • Thyroid Function Tests: Measuring TSH, T3, and T4 levels to diagnose thyroid disorders.

  2. Specialized Biochemical Tests:

    • Hormone Assays: Testing levels of various hormones, including insulin, cortisol, and reproductive hormones, to diagnose endocrine disorders.
    • Tumor Markers: Identifying specific cancer markers like CA-125, PSA, and CEA for early detection and monitoring of cancers.
    • Vitamin and Mineral Analysis: Determining levels of essential vitamins and minerals such as B12, D, calcium, and magnesium.
    • Enzyme Activity Assays: Analyzing the activity of specific enzymes to diagnose metabolic and genetic disorders.

  3. Metabolic and Genetic Testing:

    • Newborn Screening: Early detection of metabolic and genetic disorders in newborns.
    • Inherited Metabolic Disorders: Diagnosing conditions like phenylketonuria (PKU) and cystic fibrosis through biochemical markers.

  4. Drug Monitoring and Toxicology:

    • Therapeutic Drug Monitoring: Ensuring optimal drug levels for efficacy and safety, particularly in medications with narrow therapeutic ranges.
    • Toxicology Screens: Detecting and quantifying toxic substances or drugs of abuse for clinical and forensic purposes.
