Welcome to

Department of Pathology

King Edward Medical University

                

                  Chemical Pathology

 

                This section deals with routine chemical pathology tests which include LFT, RFT, Cardiac Enzymes, Lipid profile, Bone profile, Amylase, Uric acid, Albumin, Fluid chemistry, and HCV Screening and Elisa. This section is providing these diagnostic facilities to indoor and outdoor patients of Mayo Hospital, Lady Wellingdon and Lady Aitchison Hospitals. Most of these tests are performed by auto analyser. Samples are run and analysed in batches and computerized reports are delivered.

                Chemical Pathology is affiliated with quality control programs of AFIP and wish to provide quality services for the benefit of patients in future.
