Veterinary Hospital Laboratory Department
The primary role of the laboratory is to assist the attending veterinarian in accurately diagnosing diseases, identifying their underlying causes, and monitoring the effectiveness of treatment.
Veterinary diagnostic laboratories generally focus on the analysis and interpretation of the following:
Hematology – This involves the counting and examination of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
Biochemistry – These tests measure enzymes, electrolytes, trace elements, hormones, micronutrients, and metabolic substances.
Urinalysis and Body Fluid Analysis – These tests evaluate the physical, chemical, and microbial properties of the submitted fluids.
The hospital laboratory is one of the most advanced departments in terms of equipment and capabilities. All hematology and biochemistry tests are performed using state-of-the-art, fully automated analyzers that are continuously monitored and calibrated to ensure accuracy and quality.
In addition, our laboratory specialists manually review test results to verify their accuracy. If any abnormalities or inconsistencies are found, repeat testing is performed. A detailed consultative interpretation is then included with the final report, providing the attending veterinarian with insights that go beyond standard values.
This expert interpretation can be crucial—especially in complex or unclear cases—and has, in many instances, played a vital role in saving an animal’s life.
