About Our Service

Our Biochemistry department focuses primarily on the measurement of chemical constituents or physiologic processes in the body and these are used to assist in the diagnosis, treatment, monitoring, and prevention of disease. Testing is performed in a range of body fluids such as whole blood, plasma, serum, urine and cerebrospinal fluid. The results of clinical biochemistry tests are compared to reference intervals or a medical decision level to provide diagnostic and clinical meaning for the values.
