Laboratory Diagnostic Services

Excel Labs – OGDC Rawalpindi provides access to laboratory diagnostic testing through the Excel Labs network. As a collection center, some specialized investigations may be processed at other Excel Labs laboratory facilities. The availability of individual tests should therefore be confirmed before sample collection.

Hematology

Hematology investigations evaluate blood cells and related parameters. Routine services may include Complete Blood Count (CBC), hemoglobin, red blood cell count, white blood cell count, platelet count, hematocrit, ESR, and other hematological investigations.

Complete Blood Count (CBC)

CBC testing provides information about major blood components, including red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin, and platelets. It is commonly requested for routine health assessment and for investigating conditions such as anemia, infection, inflammation, and other blood-related abnormalities.

Clinical Chemistry

Clinical chemistry testing measures biochemical substances in blood and other specimens. Depending on the requested investigation, services may include blood glucose, liver function tests, renal function tests, lipid profile, electrolytes, uric acid, and other biochemical investigations.

Liver Function Tests

Liver function investigations evaluate biochemical markers associated with liver health. A liver profile may include ALT, AST, bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, albumin, and other related parameters depending on the requested test package.

Kidney Function Tests

Renal function investigations assess biochemical markers associated with kidney health. Common investigations may include serum creatinine, urea, uric acid, electrolytes, and other renal-related measurements.

Blood Glucose and Diabetes Testing

Blood glucose investigations are used for diabetes screening, diagnosis, and monitoring. Depending on the doctor's recommendation, patients may be referred for fasting glucose, random glucose, HbA1c, or other diabetes-related investigations.

Lipid Profile

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

Urine Examination

Routine urine analysis may be used to investigate urinary tract, kidney, metabolic, and other health conditions. Depending on the investigation, urine testing may involve physical, chemical, and microscopic examination.

Microbiology

Microbiology investigations are used to identify microorganisms associated with infections. Depending on the available Excel Labs services, testing may include cultures and other microbiological examinations of appropriate clinical specimens.

Serology and Immunology

Serological and immunological investigations examine antibodies, antigens, and other immune-related markers. These tests may be requested for selected infectious diseases, autoimmune conditions, and other clinical evaluations.

Hormone and Endocrine Testing

Hormonal investigations measure specific hormones and related biomarkers. Depending on the current laboratory menu, these may include thyroid-related tests and other endocrine or reproductive hormone investigations.

Molecular and PCR Testing

Molecular diagnostic services use techniques such as PCR to detect specific genetic material or disease-associated targets. Specialized molecular tests may be available through the wider Excel Labs network and may require processing at a central facility.

Histopathology and Cytology

Histopathology examines tissue specimens, while cytology evaluates individual cells. These investigations can assist physicians in evaluating abnormal tissue or cellular changes. Specialized specimens may be referred to an appropriate Excel Labs laboratory for processing.

Infectious Disease Testing

Laboratory investigations for infectious diseases can include selected blood-based, serological, microbiological, or molecular tests. The appropriate investigation depends on the suspected infection and the physician's recommendation.

Sample Collection

The OGDC facility functions as a collection point where patients can provide appropriate clinical specimens for laboratory investigations. Patients should follow any instructions regarding fasting, medication, timing, specimen type, or other preparation requirements before collection.

Laboratory Reporting

After sample processing and analysis, laboratory reports provide the results of the requested investigations. Turnaround times vary according to the type of test. Routine investigations may have shorter reporting periods, while specialized, molecular, histopathology, or referred tests may require additional processing time.

Specialized Testing Through Excel Labs Network

A collection center may collect samples for investigations that are processed at another Excel Labs facility. This allows patients to access a wider range of laboratory testing while maintaining a local sample-collection point.

Confirmation of Current Test Menu

The complete current test menu for the OGDC Rawalpindi collection point was not publicly available. Patients should contact the center before visiting to confirm the exact investigation, current fee, preparation requirements, sample type, reporting time, and whether the test is performed locally or referred to another Excel Labs facility.
