The Laboratory Department at AL Ryan Polyclinic Riyadh is the backbone of accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. Our lab specialists are highly trained professionals who use state-of-the-art technology and follow stringent quality control measures to ensure that every test result is precise, reliable, and delivered in a timely manner. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what our lab department offers:
1. Routine Diagnostic Tests
Blood Work: Comprehensive blood tests to evaluate overall health, including complete blood count (CBC), lipid profiles, blood sugar levels, and liver/kidney function tests.
Urine Analysis: Tests to detect urinary tract infections, kidney disorders, diabetes, and other metabolic conditions.
Stool Tests: For diagnosing gastrointestinal infections, parasites, and digestive disorders.
These routine tests are essential for preventive health check-ups, early detection of diseases, and monitoring ongoing treatments.
2. Hormone Testing
Our lab performs hormone level assessments to diagnose endocrine disorders such as thyroid imbalances, diabetes, adrenal issues, and reproductive health concerns (e.g., estrogen, progesterone, testosterone levels).
These tests are crucial for managing conditions like PCOS, infertility, menopause, and hormonal imbalances.
3. Infectious Disease Screenings
We offer tests to detect bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic infections.
Common screenings include tests for hepatitis, HIV, tuberculosis, COVID-19, and sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
Early detection of infectious diseases allows for prompt treatment and prevents the spread of infections.
4. Specialized Tests
Genetic Screenings: Advanced tests to identify genetic predispositions to certain diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular disorders, or hereditary conditions.
Allergy Testing: To identify allergens causing respiratory, skin, or food allergies.
Cancer Markers: Tests to detect specific proteins or substances in the blood that may indicate the presence of cancer (e.g., PSA for prostate cancer, CA-125 for ovarian cancer).
These specialized tests provide deeper insights into complex health conditions and help in creating personalized treatment plans.
5. Chronic Disease Monitoring
Our lab plays a vital role in managing chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases by regularly monitoring key biomarkers.
For example, HbA1c tests for diabetes management or INR tests for patients on blood thinners.
6. Preventive Health Screenings
We offer comprehensive health packages that include tests for early detection of potential health risks.
These screenings are tailored for different age groups, lifestyles, and medical histories, ensuring proactive health management.
