Staining is a laboratory technique used to apply special dyes or chemicals to cells, tissues, or microorganisms so they can be seen more clearly under a microscope. Different stains highlight specific structures or organisms by giving them contrasting colours, making it easier to identify their shape, size, and internal features. Staining is widely used in […]

RFT (Renal Function Test) is a group of blood and urine tests used to assess how well the kidneys are functioning. These tests measure substances such as creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), uric acid, and electrolytes, and may also include the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), which indicates how effectively the kidneys filter waste from […]

White Blood Cells (WBCs), also called leukocytes, are an important part of the body’s immune system. They help protect the body from infections, bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other harmful substances by identifying and destroying them. WBCs are produced mainly in the bone marrow and circulate in the blood and lymphatic system. There are several types […]

Pathology is the branch of medical science that studies diseases, including their causes, development, effects, and diagnosis. It involves examining tissues, cells, blood, and other body fluids to identify abnormalities and determine the nature of diseases. Pathologists play a vital role in healthcare by helping doctors diagnose illnesses, monitor disease progression, and guide treatment decisions […]

A microscope is a scientific instrument used to magnify very small objects that cannot be seen clearly with the naked eye. It uses lenses or electronic technology to enlarge the image of tiny specimens, such as cells, bacteria, tissues, and other microscopic organisms, allowing scientists, students, and researchers to study their structure and details. Microscopes […]

Histology is the branch of biology and medical science that studies the microscopic structure of tissues in plants and animals. It involves examining thin sections of tissues under a microscope to understand how cells are organized and how they function together in different organs. Histology is essential for diagnosing diseases, as it helps identify abnormal […]

Red Blood Cells (RBCs), also known as erythrocytes, are the most abundant type of blood cells and are responsible for transporting oxygen from the lungs to all body tissues and carrying carbon dioxide back to the lungs for exhalation. They contain a protein called haemoglobin, which binds to oxygen and gives blood its red colour. […]

Complete Blood Count(CBC) is a common laboratory test that evaluates different blood components. It measures red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, hemoglobin, and hematocrit. Additionally, the test provides information about red blood cell size through specific indices. Healthcare professionals commonly use CBC testing during routine health assessments and medical evaluations. It can also help […]

Hematology is the medical field focused on blood, blood-forming organs, and related disorders. It examines red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, plasma, and bone marrow. Moreover, specialists study how these components support oxygen transport, immunity, and blood clotting. Blood disorders can develop because of inherited conditions, nutritional deficiencies, infections, medicines, or other diseases. Therefore, […]
