Study Notes
Microbiology and Immunology
- Pathogenic organisms are detected using microbiology tests.
- Clinical analysis focusing on antigens and antibodies is called Immunology.
- Immunohematology (Blood Bank) in a clinical setting determines compatibility for transfusions and detects antibodies against red blood cells.
Molecular Diagnostics
- Molecular technology, such as PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction), is used to study diseases or infections at the molecular level.
Histopathology
- Histopathology focuses on the examination of tissue samples to diagnose diseases.
Urinalysis
- Routine tests in urinalysis include specific gravity, pH, protein, glucose, ketones, bilirubin, urobilinogen, and blood.
Clinical Chemistry
- The chemistry department primarily performs tests to measure the levels of various substances in bodily fluids.
Urine Analysis
- The prescriptive phase of sample testing involves studying urine pH, glucose, and protein levels.
Phlebotomy History
- Historically, phlebotomy involved the removal of blood to balance "humors" in the body.
- The Father of Medicine, Hippocrates, contributed to early medical theory related to phlebotomy.
- Phlebotomy was used to treat ailments by balancing "bad blood" through venesection, a phlebotomy procedure popular in the 17th-early 18th Century.
- Leeches became a modern method of bleeding in the 19th century.
