Lab
Rudraksh Healthcare has its own pathology laboratory, so samples are collected and tested in the same building where you see your doctor. This saves a trip to an outside lab and helps your doctor decide on treatment sooner.
The lab handles routine tests, the checks needed before surgery, and tests requested by the orthopaedics, surgery and gynaecology departments.
Laboratory (pathology)Common tests
- Complete blood count (CBC)
- Blood sugar and HbA1c
- Liver and kidney function tests
- Thyroid profile
- Urine examination
- Pre-operative profiles
Before your test
- Some tests, such as fasting blood sugar and lipid profile, need 8 to 12 hours of fasting (water is fine)
- Bring your doctor's prescription
- Tell staff about any medicines you take, especially blood thinners
