Clinical Hematology and Cancer Biology

 


The haematology laboratory provides routine haematology assays and specialty haematology testing for the Dhaka hospital, staff clinic and outreach. The laboratory strives to deliver high-quality, clinically impactful and cost-effective diagnostic services that are crucial to outstanding patient care. The lab is able to operate a wide range of basic and complex investigations including full blood count and blood film, ‘reflex’ analysis of blood smears and cytopathologic examination of body fluids; cytochemistry on blood and bone marrow; laboratory evaluation of coagulopathies and hypercoagulability; thalassaemia screening and identification of abnormal haemoglobins including specialty testing for hereditary spherocytosis and sickle cell disease;immunophenotyping of acute and chronic leukemia, lymphoma and multiple myeloma and detection of minimal residual diseases (MRD) by flow cytometry and molecular cytogenetics (RT-PCR) for diagnosis and prognostications of various leukaemias and lymphomas.

The laboratory has been a leader in auto-verification of routine hematology testing to speed both urgent care and protocol-driven clinical management, as well as cutting edge diagnostics for rapid identification of sepsis and hypercoagulable risk.
