What is a Biochemistry Test?
All living things, whether simple or complex, have their own unique chemistry. Biochemistry is the branch of science that examines the substances that make up living tissues and their functions.
Biochemistry tests are types of tests performed on blood and other body fluids. They are conducted to investigate substance imbalances in the body and the factors that may cause them. Every substance in living tissue works within a certain balance; even the slightest disruption leads to various health problems.
Academic Hospital Laboratories
The Academic Hospital Biochemistry Laboratory is one of the most important cornerstones of providing quality healthcare, equipped with the latest technological devices, advanced infrastructure, and an expert technical and scientific staff.
Interdepartmental Evaluation
Analyses are performed using biochemical methods, considering the importance of reliable laboratory work in disease prevention, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment monitoring. Results are interpreted through the collaboration of experienced experts and clinicians.
Meticulously Applied Current Tests
Academic Hospital Biochemistry Laboratory stands out with its principle of reliable work, continuous internal and external quality controls, and frequent audits. We maintain our activities by adapting to scientific developments with a current range of tests.
Why are Biochemistry Tests Needed?
Academic Hospital physicians perform detailed examinations to find solutions for patients. To better understand the patients, they listen to their medical histories and request biochemical tests (blood tests) if necessary. Test results are the most effective method for definitive diagnosis and finding correct treatment paths.
Hemogram (Complete Blood Count)
- › Infection and inflammation control
- › Leukemia and other cancer indicators
- › Anemia and Thalassemia detection
- › Bone marrow disorder screening
Urinalysis
- › Information on kidney and urinary diseases
- › Detection of protein, blood, and leukocytes
- › Pregnancy testing
Hormone Analyses
- › Infertility (sterility) monitoring
- › Thyroid hormones and vitamin level measurement
- › Cardiovascular disease and cancer markers
Metabolic Analyses
- › Early detection of metabolic diseases
- › Congenital metabolic screening for newborns
