Introduction
  • Haematology mainly involves the study of blood.
    In General, haematology tests are performed to
    diagnose many health and disease conditions.
  • Hematology tests include tests on the blood,
    blood proteins and blood-producing organs.
  • These tests can evaluate a variety of blood
    conditions including infection, anaemia,
    inflammation, haemophilia, blood clotting
    disorders, leukaemia and much more.

3
  • The common haematology tests include full blood
    count testing,
  • White blood Cells testing
  • Red Blood Cells testing
  • Haemoglobin testing
  • Hematocrit and Platelets
  • Mono screening
  • Vitamin B12 Deficiency testing
  • Renal profiling
  • Cholesterol testing
  • Blood glucose testing

Full Blood Count Testing
  • Full blood count Testing is a routine test that
    evaluates three major components in the blood.
  • They are White Blood Cells (WBC), Red Blood Cells
    (RBC) and platelets.
  • There are many reasons for conducting a full
    blood count test, but common reasons include
    infection, anaemia and suspected haematoma
    oncological disease.

5
White blood cells testing
  • WBCs are responsible for assisting the bodys
    defences in fighting illness and disease.
  • People who are fighting infection or suffering
    from anaemia have an increased number of White
    Blood Cells.

6
RBC testing
  • Through dehydration, stress, anxiety or failure
    of the bone marrow, the number of red blood cells
    in the body can be increased.
  • Also sometimes the count of red blood cells may
    decrease in number as a result of chemotherapy
    treatments, chronic inflammations, blood loss and
    due to some types of cancer.

7
Hematocrit
  • Hematocrit is another important parameter as it
    is the ratio of plasma to red blood cells.
  • This test is usually carried out when hydration
    levels and anaemia are suspected of causing
    problems.
  • The main function of the platelets is to clot the
    blood whenever it is needed.

8
  • If these platelets are absent, the blood would
    continue to flow from the wound and need
    immediate medical attention in order to stem the
    flow, Increased platelets levels may also occur
    as a result of inflammatory conditions such as
    trauma, acute infection and number of malignant
    cancers.
  • Likewise, as a result of anaemia, coagulation
    disorders such as sickle cell anaemia, alcohol
    toxicity and infection can lead to cause a
    decrease in the number of platelets.

9
Vitamin B12 deficiency testing
  • A lack of Vitamin B12 can make the patient feel
    tired, run-down and without energy. With the help
    of some simple blood tests, we can detect whether
    vitamin B12 levels are decreased.
  • This vitamin is essential for healthy blood
    cells, healthy nerves and stable DNA.
  • If a deficiency is detected, this condition is
    easy to manage with supplements, changes to the
    diet and vitamin shots.

10
Cholesterol Checking
  • If the cholesterol level is increased above a
    certain level it may lead to several heart
    diseases and other potentially fatal conditions.
  • With the help of a cholesterol test, the patient
    can take action to lower blood cholesterol.

11
Conclusion
  • Haematology tests can be performed in all medical
    laboratories and clinics located anywhere in the
    world.
  • In Dubai, there are so many medical laboratories
    which offer these haematology tests.
  • From the recent studies and surveys, the best
    haematology test in Dubai is provided by the FML.
