Scope of Diagnosis and Treatment:

The department conducts more than 400 medical testing items. Routine medical testing is performed for hematological diseases, some genetic diseases, parasites, reproductive system inflammation, bleeding disorders, thrombotic diseases, anemia, etc. It offers indicators for evaluating the functions of important organs such as the liver, kidney, heart, and pancreas, as well as a series of indicators for cardiovascular, endocrine, respiratory, digestive, and neurometabolic functions. It detects sex hormone levels and thyroid function, determines myocardial infarction, muscle damage and therapeutic prognosis, and identifies the causes of anemia. It detects multiple tumor markers to assist in tumor diagnosis, monitor tumor progression, track treatment effects, monitor metastasis, and assess recurrence and prognosis. It provides diagnostic basis for autoimmune diseases, differential diagnosis basis for complex and difficult diseases, and allergen testing, including cellular immunity, humoral immunity function, ingested and inhaled allergens, and inflammatory reactions, such as a series of tests for rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma, Sjogren's syndrome, autoimmune liver disease, phospholipid syndrome, autoimmune thyroid disease, etc. It detects antigens, antibodies, and nucleic acids related to infectious diseases such as hepatitis series, AIDS, syphilis, viruses, mycoplasma, and chlamydia, providing qualitative and quantitative results for clinical etiology clarification, diagnosis assistance, differential diagnosis, correct treatment, and judgment of therapeutic effect and prognosis. It can identify more than 500 types of bacteria, report more than 40 drug sensitivities, and monitor drug-resistant strains and drug-resistant enzymes, providing a basis for infection diagnosis and treatment, participating in clinical consultations to guide rational clinical use of antibiotics; it is responsible for hospital infection detection work, regularly providing clinical drug resistance analysis reports to help reduce antibiotic abuse. It provides eugenics and prenatal care, pre-marital health check-ups, screening for genetic diseases during pregnancy, and mental diseases; it undertakes occupational disease health examinations. A series of testing data also provides a basis for government departments to make decisions.
