Laboratory Testing

IDC Mall Road Saddar provides access to a broad range of laboratory investigations covering routine and specialized diagnostic requirements. The IDC laboratory network includes hematology, clinical pathology, chemistry, microbiology, PCR, immunology, histopathology, virology, parasitology, and special chemistry.

Hematology Tests

Hematology investigations evaluate blood cells and related parameters. These tests can assist in the assessment of anemia, infections, inflammation, platelet abnormalities, and other blood-related conditions.

Complete Blood Count (CBC)

CBC is a routine blood investigation used to evaluate red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelets. It may be requested during routine screening or when investigating symptoms such as weakness, fever, infection, or suspected blood disorders.

Clinical Chemistry

Clinical chemistry testing evaluates biochemical substances in blood and other specimens. These investigations can support assessment of metabolic health, organ function, electrolyte balance, and other clinical conditions.

Liver Function Tests

Liver-related biochemical investigations help evaluate liver function and may be used for diagnosis and monitoring of liver conditions. Individual liver enzymes and related parameters can be tested according to the requested profile.

Kidney Function Tests

Renal function investigations assess biochemical markers associated with kidney health. These tests may be requested for routine screening, monitoring, or evaluation of suspected kidney disorders.

Blood Glucose Testing

Glucose investigations are used for diabetes screening, diagnosis, and monitoring. Depending on the doctor's recommendation, testing may include fasting, random, or longer-term blood sugar assessment.

Lipid Profile

Lipid testing measures cholesterol and triglyceride-related parameters and can form part of cardiovascular risk assessment and routine health screening.

Hormonal Testing

Hormone investigations can support the evaluation of endocrine and reproductive conditions. The available tests may include selected reproductive, metabolic, thyroid, and other hormone profiles.

Thyroid Function Tests

Thyroid investigations are used to assess thyroid hormone function and may assist in the evaluation of hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, thyroid disorders, and related symptoms.

Microbiology

Microbiology services support the detection and investigation of microorganisms responsible for infectious diseases. Depending on the investigation, testing may involve clinical specimens and culture or other laboratory techniques.

Microbiological Culture and Sensitivity

Culture and sensitivity testing may be used to identify microorganisms and assess their response to selected antimicrobial agents when clinically appropriate.

PCR and Molecular Testing

IDC provides molecular diagnostic services including PCR-based testing. Molecular investigations can detect specific genetic material and are used for selected infectious diseases and other specialized diagnostic applications.

Immunology and Serology

Immunological and serological investigations evaluate antibodies, antigens, and other immune-related markers. These tests can support the investigation of infections, autoimmune conditions, and other clinical disorders.

Histopathology

Histopathology involves laboratory examination of tissue specimens. It can help identify abnormal cellular and tissue changes and is an important part of diagnosis for many diseases.

Clinical Pathology

Clinical pathology services involve laboratory examination of blood, urine, and other clinical specimens. They support routine diagnosis, screening, disease monitoring, and follow-up care.

Urine Testing

Urine investigations can assess urinary and kidney-related health and may provide information about infection, glucose, protein, blood, and other abnormalities.

X-Ray

Digital X-ray services are available within the IDC diagnostic network and may be used for chest, bones, joints, spine, and other anatomical areas according to clinical requirements.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound uses sound waves to create real-time images of internal organs and tissues. Depending on the examination, abdominal, pelvic, obstetric, thyroid, soft-tissue, and other ultrasound studies may be performed.

CT Scan

Computed tomography provides detailed cross-sectional images of the body and can support evaluation of the head, chest, abdomen, pelvis, bones, trauma, and other clinical conditions.

MRI

Magnetic resonance imaging provides detailed images of soft tissues and other body structures. MRI may be used for examinations of the brain, spine, joints, muscles, and other areas.

CBCT

Cone Beam Computed Tomography provides three-dimensional imaging, particularly useful in dental and maxillofacial assessment and selected specialized imaging applications.

ECG

Electrocardiography records the electrical activity of the heart and can assist in evaluating rhythm and other cardiac findings.

ECHO

Echocardiography uses ultrasound to produce images of the heart and can help assess cardiac structure and function.

ETT

Exercise Tolerance Testing, or ETT, monitors cardiac response during controlled physical activity and may be used as part of selected cardiac assessments.

EEG

Electroencephalography records electrical activity of the brain and may be used in the evaluation of selected neurological conditions.

EMG

Electromyography assesses electrical activity associated with muscles and can support evaluation of certain neuromuscular disorders.

NCS

Nerve Conduction Studies evaluate the function of peripheral nerves and may help investigate symptoms such as numbness, weakness, tingling, or suspected nerve disorders.

DEXA Scan

DEXA scanning measures bone mineral density and is commonly used for assessment of bone health and osteoporosis risk.

Spirometry
