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.

• 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.

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.

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.
