CITILAB Range Road

CITILAB Range Road

CITILAB Range Road is a medical laboratory and diagnostic testing facility located at Shalley Valley Chowk on Range Road in PIA Colony, Rawalpindi. The branch provides laboratory diagnostic services for patients requiring routine and specialized medical investigations.

CITILAB is a clinical laboratory network offering diagnostic testing across multiple pathology disciplines. Its laboratory services cover areas such as hematology, clinical chemistry, microbiology, immunology, endocrinology, viral markers, and tumor markers. The Range Road branch provides a convenient local collection point for residents of Range Road, PIA Colony, Shalley Valley, and surrounding areas of Rawalpindi.

Laboratory investigations are an important part of modern healthcare because they help doctors evaluate symptoms, support diagnosis, monitor ongoing conditions, assess treatment response, and perform routine health screening. Blood, urine, and other clinical specimens can be analyzed to provide information about blood cells, organ function, metabolic conditions, infections, hormones, and other health indicators.

Depending on the specific investigation, patients may be able to access routine pathology tests as well as specialized diagnostic examinations through CITILAB's laboratory network. Specialized tests may be processed through the laboratory's wider facilities rather than necessarily being performed at the individual collection branch.

The Range Road branch is located at Shalley Valley Chowk, adjacent to Habib Bank Limited, making it accessible for patients living and working around Range Road and nearby Rawalpindi neighborhoods. The current listing shows the facility operating approximately from 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM daily.

Patients should contact the laboratory before visiting to confirm the availability of a particular test, current charges, fasting or other preparation requirements, sample collection arrangements, and expected reporting time. Laboratory results should be interpreted by a qualified healthcare professional in combination with the patient's medical history and clinical findings.

Laboratory Diagnostic Services

CITILAB Range Road provides access to medical laboratory investigations through CITILAB's diagnostic laboratory services. The laboratory network covers a broad range of pathology and diagnostic disciplines, including hematology, biochemistry, microbiology, immunology, endocrinology, viral markers, and tumor markers.

Hematology

Hematology testing evaluates blood cells and related parameters. Common investigations may include Complete Blood Count (CBC), hemoglobin, red blood cell count, white blood cell count, platelet count, ESR, and other blood-related tests. These investigations can assist doctors in evaluating anemia, infection, inflammation, and other hematological conditions.

Complete Blood Count (CBC)

A CBC provides information about major components of the blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin, and platelets. It is frequently requested for routine health screening and for investigating symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, fever, or suspected infection.

Clinical Chemistry

Clinical chemistry involves the measurement of biochemical substances in blood and other specimens. Depending on the requested investigation, this area may include blood glucose, liver function tests, kidney function tests, lipid profile, electrolytes, uric acid, and other biochemical examinations.

Liver Function Tests

Liver-related biochemical investigations help evaluate markers associated with liver health. A liver profile may include ALT, AST, bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, albumin, and related parameters. The exact panel depends on the doctor's recommendation and current laboratory availability.

Kidney Function Tests

Renal investigations assess biochemical markers associated with kidney function. Common tests may include serum creatinine, urea, uric acid, and electrolyte measurements. These investigations can be useful for evaluating or monitoring renal health.

Diabetes and Glucose Testing

Blood glucose investigations are commonly used for diabetes screening and monitoring. Depending on the required test, investigations may include fasting blood glucose, random glucose, and HbA1c. Patients should confirm any fasting requirements before sample collection.

Lipid Profile

Lipid testing evaluates blood fats and can contribute to cardiovascular risk assessment. A lipid profile may include total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides.

Microbiology

Microbiology testing is used to identify microorganisms that may cause infections. Depending on the specific service and specimen, investigations may include culture and sensitivity testing and other microbiological examinations.

Immunology and Serology

Immunological and serological investigations examine antibodies, antigens, and other immune-related markers. These tests can be used for selected infectious diseases, autoimmune conditions, and other clinical investigations.

Endocrinology and Hormone Testing

Endocrine laboratory investigations measure hormones and related biomarkers. Depending on the current test menu, services may include thyroid-related testing and other hormonal investigations requested by physicians.

Viral Markers

Viral marker testing can help detect specific viral infections or evidence of exposure. The exact investigations available depend on the laboratory's current test catalogue and may include selected hepatitis and other viral screening tests.

Tumor Markers

Tumor marker investigations measure specific substances that may be associated with certain cancers or other medical conditions. These tests are generally interpreted alongside clinical examination, imaging, medical history, and other investigations rather than being used alone to diagnose cancer.

Urine and Other Clinical Specimens

Routine laboratory services may also include examination of urine and other clinical specimens. The exact specimen types and tests depend on the investigation requested by the healthcare provider.

Sample Collection and Reporting

The Range Road facility functions as a local laboratory service point where patients can provide specimens for available investigations. Depending on the test, samples may be processed at the branch or through the wider CITILAB laboratory network. Reporting times vary according to the complexity of the investigation.

Test Availability

CITILAB has a broad diagnostic test menu, but the availability of individual tests can vary by branch. Patients should contact CITILAB Range Road before visiting to confirm the specific test, current fee, sample requirements, fasting instructions, and expected report time.
