Hematology Testing
Hematology testing examines the different cells and components found in the blood. These examinations can provide doctors with important information about a patient’s general health and possible blood-related concerns.
At New Padre Garcia Hospital, hematology tests may be requested to support the assessment of anemia, infection, inflammation, bleeding concerns, abnormal blood-cell levels, and other medical conditions.
Testing may also be used before surgery, during hospital admission, as part of a medical check-up, or to monitor a patient’s response to treatment.
Patients should bring a complete laboratory request and inform the laboratory about current medicines, blood-thinning treatment, previous blood conditions, and other relevant medical information.
