Inspection Department
Greetings
The Department of Clinical Laboratory performs a variety of tests to determine the cause of illness and the effectiveness of treatment.
These are mainly divided into "specimen tests" and "physiological function tests."
We prioritize speed and accuracy, strive to promote harmony among medical professionals, and work to provide effective medical care.
Sample testing
Biochemical testing
This test analyzes various components of collected blood and urine samples to determine whether there are any abnormalities in the body, which part of the body is affected, whether there is inflammation, and the patient's nutritional status.
Hematology tests
An automated hematology analyzer is used to calculate red blood cell count, hemoglobin, white blood cell count, white blood cell differentiation, platelets, etc.
It is used to diagnose and monitor the progress of blood disorders such as anemia and polycythemia, as well as inflammatory diseases, and as a screening test.
General examination
This test uses urine, stool, and other samples to identify symptoms. Urine tests can be used to examine the physiological and biological abnormalities of the entire body, focusing on the kidney and urinary tract.
Stool tests include occult blood tests, norovirus tests, and CD checks.
Transfusion Medicine Testing
When a blood transfusion is necessary, blood typing (ABO, Rh) will be performed.
A cross-match test is performed to check whether the blood to be transfused is compatible.
Other in-hospital tests
Other tests include hemoglobin A1C, troponin T, CK-MB, influenza virus, and streptococcus.
Microbiological tests, pathological tests, and cytological tests are outsourced.
2. Physiological examinations (electrocardiogram, Holter electrocardiogram, respiratory function test, ultrasound examination)
The test is performed by attaching the device directly to the patient's body.
Electrocardiography
The heart's movement is captured by the difference in electrical potential, and it can detect arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, conduction disorders, etc. The test takes 2 to 3 minutes, but this may vary depending on the symptoms and the doctor's instructions.
Holter ECG
This test involves attaching a device to your chest and recording your electrocardiogram continuously for 24 hours. It records electrocardiogram changes during your daily life. It takes about 15 minutes to attach the device and receive an explanation. You will not be able to take a bath while wearing the device.
Respiratory function test
The test examines lung function by having you breathe in and out in time with calls. This test is useful for diagnosing respiratory diseases. The test takes about 15 minutes.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound is an examination that uses high-frequency sound waves that are inaudible to the human ear (sound waves in a range that are harmless to the human body). This ultrasound passes through the human body, making it possible to grasp the internal structure in real time and even measure the speed of blood flow. Ultrasound examinations are non-invasive and can be repeated multiple times. In our examination room, we perform ultrasound examinations of the heart, carotid arteries, abdomen, etc.
