IDC Lab and Diagnostic Center Mansehra

IDC Lab and Diagnostic Center Mansehra is a diagnostic facility located near DHQ Hospital at Kaghan Flour Mills, Abbottabad Road, Mansehra. The center is part of the Islamabad Diagnostic Centre (IDC) network and provides laboratory and diagnostic services for patients in Mansehra and surrounding areas.

The Mansehra branch provides laboratory testing services that can assist healthcare professionals in the diagnosis, monitoring, and follow-up of different medical conditions. Laboratory investigations may involve blood, urine, tissue, and other clinical specimens, depending on the requirements of the requested test.

IDC's laboratory network covers a wide range of diagnostic disciplines, including hematology, clinical pathology, chemistry, microbiology, molecular biology, virology, histopathology, immunology, serology, and specialized chemistry. Advanced and specialized investigations may be processed through IDC's wider laboratory network rather than directly at every collection or diagnostic location.

The Mansehra center also provides selected imaging services. According to IDC's official branch information, the location offers X-Ray and OPG services in addition to laboratory testing. These imaging investigations can support the evaluation of bones, chest and other anatomical structures, while OPG provides panoramic dental imaging.

Home sampling is another service specifically listed for IDC Mansehra. Patients who are unable to visit the center or prefer sample collection at home can use IDC's home sampling service, subject to the applicable service area and scheduling arrangements.

IDC Mansehra is situated close to DHQ Hospital on Abbottabad Road, making it accessible for patients from Mansehra and nearby communities. The official IDC website lists the central UAN numbers 051-111-000-432 and 0311-1000-432 for inquiries and appointments.

The center focuses on providing reliable diagnostic services with professional laboratory and imaging support. Patients should confirm the current test availability, charges, preparation requirements, appointment timings, and reporting time before visiting, particularly for specialized investigations.

Laboratory and Diagnostic Services

IDC Lab and Diagnostic Center Mansehra provides laboratory testing and selected diagnostic imaging services. The official IDC branch page specifically lists Lab Tests, X-Ray, OPG, and Home Sampling for the Mansehra location.

Hematology Tests

Hematology investigations evaluate blood cells and related parameters. Depending on the requested investigation and IDC's current testing arrangements, services may include Complete Blood Count (CBC), hemoglobin, red blood cell indices, white blood cell count, platelet count, ESR, and other hematological investigations.

Clinical Chemistry

Clinical chemistry tests measure biochemical substances in blood and other specimens. These investigations may include blood glucose, liver function tests, kidney function tests, lipid profile, uric acid, electrolytes, calcium, proteins, and other biochemical parameters.

Diabetes Testing

Diabetes-related investigations may include fasting blood glucose, random blood glucose, postprandial glucose, and HbA1c. These tests are commonly used for diabetes screening, diagnosis, and monitoring of blood-glucose control.

Liver Function Tests

Liver-related laboratory investigations can include bilirubin, ALT, AST, alkaline phosphatase, albumin, total protein, and other parameters used to assess liver function.

Kidney Function Tests

Renal function investigations may include serum creatinine, urea, uric acid, electrolytes, and other kidney-related parameters. These tests can help healthcare professionals assess and monitor kidney function.

Lipid Profile

Lipid testing measures cholesterol and triglycerides and may be requested for cardiovascular risk assessment, routine screening, or monitoring of patients with abnormal lipid levels.

Immunology and Serology

IDC's laboratory network provides immunology and serology investigations used to evaluate antibodies, antigens, immune responses, infectious diseases, and selected autoimmune conditions. Individual test availability at the Mansehra location should be confirmed before sample collection.

Microbiology

Microbiology investigations examine clinical specimens for microorganisms. Depending on the test, samples may be used for microscopy, culture, identification of organisms, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing.

Histopathology

Histopathology involves microscopic examination of tissue specimens. It can assist in the assessment of abnormal tissue, lesions, masses, and other conditions requiring pathological evaluation. Specialized pathology samples may be processed through an IDC laboratory facility designated for the investigation.

Molecular and Specialized Testing

IDC's wider laboratory network includes molecular biology, virology, and other specialized diagnostic testing. Some advanced investigations may require samples to be transported to another IDC facility for processing rather than being performed directly at the Mansehra branch.

X-Ray

X-Ray is specifically listed among the diagnostic services available at IDC Mansehra. X-Ray imaging can be used to evaluate bones, the chest, and other anatomical structures and may assist physicians in assessing fractures, infections, and other abnormalities.

OPG

Orthopantomography (OPG) is a panoramic dental X-Ray that provides a broad view of the teeth, upper and lower jaws, and surrounding structures. OPG is specifically listed as a service at the IDC Mansehra branch.

Home Sample Collection

IDC Mansehra offers home sampling for laboratory investigations. This service allows patients to have specimens collected at home, subject to service-area coverage and scheduling. It can be useful for elderly patients, children, people with mobility limitations, and individuals who prefer not to visit the laboratory.

Sample Collection and Reporting

The laboratory collects and handles specimens according to the requirements of each investigation. Routine tests may be processed through the appropriate IDC facility, while specialized investigations can be referred to designated laboratories within the IDC network. Reporting time therefore depends on the type and complexity of the requested test.

Important Note

The branch-specific services officially confirmed for IDC Mansehra are Lab Tests, X-Ray, OPG, and Home Sampling. The wider IDC network offers many additional specialized laboratory investigations, but their availability should not automatically be assumed at the Mansehra branch. Patients should confirm the current test menu, fees, preparation requirements, home-sampling schedule, and reporting time directly with IDC before visiting.
