COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT
Test that measures several components and features of your blood and is used to evaluate your overall health and check for many disorders like anemia, infection, leukemia.
Blood.
No specific patient preparation protocol required. Inform your doctor if you are on any medications or have any underlying medical conditions or allergies before undergoing this test.
This test is used to determine general health status, screen for disorders and evaluate nutritional status. It can help diagnose conditions such as anemia, blood cancers and infections. The complete blood count (CBC) is a test that measures the cells that circulate in blood. Blood consists of three types of cells suspended in a fluid called plasma: white blood cells (WBCs), red blood cells (RBCs), and platelets (PLTs). They are produced and mature primarily in the bone marrow and are then released into the bloodstream as needed. The readings vary with sex, age, physiological state, and general health.

Test that shows what type of blood you carry (A, B, AB and O) including Rh factor. Knowing your blood type enables safe blood donation and transfusion.
Blood.
No specific patient preparation protocol required. Inform your doctor if you are on any medications or have any underlying medical conditions or allergies before undergoing this test.
Blood grouping detects the presence or absence of these antigens to determine a person’s ABO blood group and Rh type. Blood groups are based on the markers (specific carbohydrates or proteins) or antigens on the surface of red blood cells (RBCs). Two major antigens or surface identifiers on human RBCs are the A and B antigens. Another important surface antigen is called Rh. People whose red blood cells have A antigens are in blood group A, those with B antigens are group B, those with both A and B antigens are in group AB, and those who do not have either of these markers are in blood group O. If the Rh protein is present on the red blood cells, a person’s blood type is Rh+ (positive); if it is absent, the person’s blood is type Rh- (negative).

UGX 10,000D-Dimer
D-dimer tests are used to help rule out the presence of an inappropriate blood clot (thrombus).
Blood.
No specific patient preparation protocol required. Inform the doctor if you are on any medications, have any allergies or underlying medical conditions before this test
D-dimer is one of the protein fragments produced when a blood clot gets dissolved in the body. It is normally undetectable or detectable at a very low level unless the body is forming and breaking down blood clots, then its level in the blood can significantly rise. While clots most commonly form in the veins of the legs, they may also form in other areas as well. Measurements of D-dimer can be used to help detect clots in any of these sites. For example, clots in coronary arteries are the cause of myocardial infarction (heart attacks).

UGX 75,000HB ELECTROPHORESIS
This is a blood test that is used to check the different types of hemoglobin and can be used to detect hemoglobin disorders such as sickle-cell disease.
Blood.
No specific patient preparation protocol required. Inform your doctor if you are on any medications or have any underlying medical conditions or allergies before undergoing this test.
Hb electrophoresis is done to detect hemoglobinopathies. A hemoglobinopathy is an inherited blood disorder in which an individual has an abnormal form of hemoglobin (variant) or decreased production of hemoglobin (thalassemia).

UGX 75,000Prothrombin Time (INR)
The prothrombin time (PT) is a test that helps evaluate your body’s ability to appropriately form blood clots.
Blood.
None needed, however if you are receiving anticoagulant therapy, the blood sample should be collected before taking your daily dose.
A PT measures the number of seconds it takes for a clot to form in your sample of blood after substances (reagents) are added. The PT is often performed along with a partial thromboplastin time (PTT) and together they assess the amount and function of proteins called coagulation factors that are an important part of proper blood clot formation. For people taking warfarin, most laboratories report PT results that have been adjusted to the INR. A prolonged PT means that the blood is taking too long to form a clot, this may be caused by conditions such as liver disease, vitamin K deficiency, or a coagulation factor deficiency (e.g., factor VII deficiency).

UGX 35,000PERIPHERAL BLOOD FILM
This test is used to look for abnormalities in blood cells and enables diagnoses of many illnesses.
Blood.
No specific patient preparation protocol required. Inform your doctor if you are on any medications or have any underlying medical conditions or allergies before undergoing this test.
A blood film is a drop of blood spread thinly onto a glass slide that is then treated with a special stain and the blood cells on the slide are examined and evaluated.

UGX 30,000RHEUMATOID FACTOR
This blood test is used for the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. High levels of rheumatoid factor in the blood are most often associated with autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and Sjogren’s syndrome.
Blood.
No specific patient preparation protocol required. Inform your doctor if you are on any medications or have any underlying medical conditions or allergies before undergoing this test.
Rheumatoid factor (RF) is an autoantibody, an immunoglobulin M (IgM) protein that is produced by the body’s immune system. Autoantibodies attack a person’s own tissues, mistakenly identifying the tissue as “foreign.”

UGX 25,000Activated Partial Thromboplastin Test (PTT)
This is a screening test that helps check a person’s ability to properly form blood clots.
Blood.
None however, a high-fat meal before the blood draw may affect the test and should be avoided.
The partial thromboplastin time (PTT; also known as activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT)) is a screening test that helps evaluate a person’s ability to appropriately form blood clots. It measures the number of seconds it takes for a clot to form in a sample of blood after substances (reagents) are added. A prolonged PTT means that the blood is taking too long to form a clot, this may be caused by conditions such as liver disease, vitamin K deficiency, or a coagulation factor deficiency (e.g., factor VII deficiency).

UGX 30,000Reticulocyte Count
A reticulocyte test determines the number and/or percentage of reticulocytes( Immature Red Blood Cells) in the blood and is a reflection of recent bone marrow function or activity.
Blood.
No specific patient preparation protocol required. Inform the doctor if you are on any medications, have any allergies or underlying medical conditions before this test.
Red blood cells are produced in the bone marrow, where blood-forming (hematopoietic) stem cells differentiate and develop, eventually forming reticulocytes and finally becoming mature RBCs. A variety of diseases and conditions i.e hemorrhage, hemolysis, bone marrow disorder, kidney disease can affect the production of new RBCs and/or their survival, in addition to those conditions that may result in significant bleeding. These conditions may lead to a rise or drop in the number of RBCs and may affect the reticulocyte count.

UGX 25,000Anti Streptolysin O Titre
This is a blood test that checks for effects of a recent streptococcus bacteria infection that may cause Rheumatic fever or kidney disease.
Blood.
You may be instructed not to eat six hours before the test. Inform the doctor if you are on any medications, have any allergies or underlying medical conditions before this test.
Antistreptolysin O (ASO) is an antibody targeted against streptolysin O, a toxic enzyme produced by group A Streptococcus bacteria. Group A Streptococcus (Streptococcus pyogenes) is the bacterium responsible for causing strep throat and a variety of other infections, including skin infections (pyoderma, impetigo, cellulitis). In most cases, strep infections are identified and treated with antibiotics, and the infections resolve. When a strep infection does not cause identifiable symptoms and goes untreated, or is treated ineffectively, complications namely rheumatic fever and a type of kidney disease (glomerulonephritis), can sometimes develop, especially in young children.

UGX 30,000Anti Nuclear Antibody (ANA)
This test looks for antibodies in your blood that may indicate the presence of an autoimmune condition which causes your immune system to attack your own body cells, tissues, and organs.
Blood.
No specific patient preparation protocol required. Inform the doctor if you are on any medications, have any allergies or underlying medical conditions before your test
Antinuclear antibodies (ANA) are a group of autoantibodies produced by a person’s immune system when it fails to adequately distinguish between “self” and “nonself.” ANA react with components of the body’s own healthy cells and cause signs and symptoms such as tissue and organ inflammation, joint and muscle pain, and fatigue.
