| Hematology tests are laboratory assessments of blood formation and blood disorders. Tests include blood proteins and blood-producing organs. The tests can help diagnose a variety of blood conditions including infection, anemia, inflammation, hemophilia, blood-clotting disorders and leukemia. | |||

| Order code | Test | Purpose | Kit |
| HEM 101 | White blood cell count (WBC) | Measures the number of white cells in the blood. Normal range is between 4,000 and 11,000 per microliter of blood. Low WBC (leukopenia) can be a temporary side effect or a sign of a more serious health condition. | White cell count (WBC) test kit |
| HEM 102 | Red blood cell count (RBC) | Measures the number of red cells in the blood which is different for male and female and decreases with age. Low RBC could indicate deficiency in vit B6, B12 (folate), kidney disease, malnutrition. High RBC is caused by several health issues | Red cell count (WBC) test kit |
| HEM 103 | Platelet count. | Platelets help blood clot and stop bleeding by clumping and forming plugs in blood vessel injuries Normal platelet count ranges from 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microliter of blood. Thrombocytopenia (low platelet) can result from bone marrow disorder or an immune system problem. High platelet count is a symptom of a disease or condition, such as anemia, infection or cancer. | Platelet count test kit |
| HEM 104 | Hematocrit red blood cell volume (HCT) | Hematocrit is the proportion of red blood cells in the blood. Too few or too many red blood cells can be a sign of certain diseases | Hematocrit (PCV) Test Kit |
| HEM 105 | Hemoglobin concentration (HB) | Hemoglobin transports oxygen in the body. Low hemoglobin is often indicative of anemia. | Hemoglobin assay kit |
| HEM 106 | Erythropoietin (EPO) | EPO is produced by the kidney and plays a key role in the production of red blood cells (RBCs). This test measures the amount of erythropoietin in the blood | Human Erythropoietin ELISA Kit |
| HEM 107 | Ferritin | Ferritin is a blood protein that contains iron. Its low levels indicate iron deficiency and high levels linked to many types of infections | Ferritin Blood Test assay |
| HEM 108 | Folate | Folate or folic acid or vitamin B12 is involved in the production of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Low levels can cause megaloblastic anemia | Folate ELISA kit |
| HEM 109 | Transferrin | Transferrin is the main protein in the blood that binds to iron. Its levels increase in cases of iron deficiency and decrease in cases of iron overload. An out-of range Transferrin level can be indicative of iron deficiency, anemia as well as a variety of liver problems | Transferrin ELISA kit |
| HEM 110 | Iron | Iron is found in hemoglobin and provides the red color to the blood cells. Iron deficiency causes lack of adequate healthy red blood cells. Hemochromatosis is iron overload which causes serious diseases to the heart, liver and pancreas | Iron blood test |
