Description

Clinical Laboratory (Biochemistry)

Biochemistry, which means “chemistry of the living”, examines the chemical substances in the
structure of all living things and the chemical processes that happen.

Clinical biochemistry is a branch of science that
researches biochemical mechanisms in the body at the molecular level, helps
physicians in determining the causes of the disease, diagnosis, and treatment
processes.

Clinical laboratories are also very important in preventive medicine. Healthy
individuals can have various tests, and according to the results of these
tests, they can take measures to prevent possible diseases.

Devices in our biochemistry laboratory

The modernity of devices found in the biochemistry laboratory is a factor that ensures the test
results are sensitive and accurate. For this reason, we include modern devices
in our clinic and have them maintained periodically. Devices in our clinic;

ROCHE c501 Cobas 6000 series autoanalyzer

ROCHE e601 Cobas 6000 series autoanalyzer

ROCHE e411 Cobas 4000 series autoanalyzer

SYSMEX Xn-1000 SA-01 Hemogram

TCOAG brand Desting Plus Model Fully Automatic Coagulameter

STAGO brand Start 4 Model 4 Channel Semi-Automatic Coagulameter

CONNECTORS Bilirubinmeter BR-501

Centrifuges

Microscopes

By using these devices, the composition of body fluids, secretions, and tissues in their
normal and pathological circumstances are analyzed.

Tests performed in our biochemistry laboratory;

The laboratory performs a wide variety of different biochemical tests on complete blood, serum
plasma, and other biofluids using various types of equipment, from the most
conventional to modern systems. Laboratory activities are dispersed among
several units, each representing a separate field:

Emergency biochemical laboratory

It provides 24 hours, 365 days’ service for emergency tests. The emergency laboratory mainly
conducts electrolyte, enzymes, gas, and pH tests on complete blood and body
fluids and other emergency tests such as Troponin I HS, BNP, Procalcitonin,
Lamictal, Lactate, Ammonia, and BhCG.

The service is intended for emergency services and other
hospital departments.

The routine blood test unit

Tests performed in this unit include monitoring of
kidney, liver, and heart function, specific proteins, lipid proteins, iron
indices, and bile acid.

Immunology unit

This unit performs various immunology tests by ELISA
Method (ANA, APLA, ENA).

Endocrinology and cancer marker unit

Various hormonal blood tests are performed for
infertility treatment, real-time PTH monitoring, βHCG testing, and hormonal
monitoring of the pituitary and glands. It is also responsible for testing
various cancer markers.

Clinical pharmacology unit

It performs a wide variety of therapeutic drug monitoring
in the blood and includes monitoring antibiotics and anti-seizure medications.

Routine urine testing

It includes routine urine testing (including microscopy) and testing of various fluids.

Special tests

Some special tests are performed such as G6PD, IgE, CTX (bone metabolism measurement), total
homocysteine (CVD, CAD indication), and FLC (kappa and lambda chain for
diagnosis and monitoring of Multiple Myeloma).
