DHEE Hospitals houses a state of art laboratory complete with molecular testing and research. Our laboratory offers a wide range of tests comprising of Clinical Biochemistry, Hematology, Clinical Pathology, Cytology, Microbiology and Infectious disease serology, Histopathology and Molecular Biology.
What types of tests are done in the Laboratory?
The laboratory department is one of the major support departments for any hospital especially a multispecialty tertiary level hospital like DHEE. Various samples drawn from the patients are tested here with precision and efficiency using advanced technology, contemporary and standardized automated equipment. Samples tested range from blood, urine, stool, pus from various sites, sputum, Cerebrospinal fluid, Ascitic and pleural fluid. Tissue and organs are also examined by histopathology and microbiology departments. The Clinical biochemistry section performs various tests and assays to find the levels of glucose, HbA1C, creatinine, electrolytes like Sodium/salt calcium etc and hormones like Thyroid hormone and Cortisol levels in the blood. Further the Pathology section examines the blood counts in detail including various blood components and looks for evidence of abnormal cells or infection through examination of Peripheral smear by senior Pathologist. The Microbiology department helps in finding out abnormal bacteria, viruses and other pathogenic microbes if present in the body through various culture and microscopic tests. Clinical Cytology specifically studies the abnormal cells and Histopathology section examines various tissues the organization and structure to find out about their microscopic structure. This helps in determining if they are inflamed, normal or even cancerous.
New age diagnostic tests like Molecular Genetics are a rapid way of detecting for the DNA/genetic material of the microbes and helps in rapid and accurate diagnosis. They also help us decide if certain group of antibiotics will work or not for these microbes based on the genes they have detected.
The phlebotomy or blood drawing experience will be seamless and comfortable carried out by our experienced and sensitive phlebotomists. Our lab focuses on patient centricity at all times. Core principles of the lab are accuracy and integrity through transparency. The instruments that perform the tests are state of art with high precision and accuracy. All tests are processed by certified trained professionals. The results are interpreted by our experienced Pathologist.
Importance of Lab tests
Lab tests are needed to identify the disease process, measure the effectiveness to treatment provided and to monitor the overall health. Also, lab tests in the form of preventive health checks enable us to monitor the general health status and the need for early intervention in case of need.
The Lab at DHEE hospitals follows strict quality policies and protocols. The lab adheres to ISO 15189:2022 criteria and good Laboratory practices. The laboratory makes sure to follow highest infection control practices so that the samples are not affected. The results are interpreted with clinical relevance and are reliable. Hence, the lab at DHEE is one of the “Doctor preferred labs”.

Oncology Immunology is a specialised field that focuses on harnessing the power of the immune system to combat cancer. It involves using various immunotherapies and treatments to stimulate the body’s natural defences against cancer cells, ultimately helping in cancer treatment.
DHEE Hospitals offers a range of immunotherapies, including checkpoint inhibitors, CAR-T cell therapy, cancer vaccines, and monoclonal antibodies. The choice of therapy depends on the type and stage of cancer.
Checkpoint inhibitors block certain proteins that prevent immune cells from attacking cancer cells. They are effective against a variety of cancers, including melanoma, lung cancer, and some types of bladder and kidney cancers.
CAR-T cell therapy involves genetically modifying a patient’s own T cells to target specific cancer cells. It is typically recommended for certain types of blood cancers, such as leukaemia and lymphoma, when other treatments have failed.
Yes, DHEE Hospitals offer cancer vaccines. Cancer vaccines stimulate the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells. They are used in the prevention or treatment of some cancers, such as cervical cancer and certain types of liver cancer.
Monoclonal antibodies are designed to bind to specific proteins on the surface of cancer cells, marking them for destruction by the immune system. They are used in the treatment of various cancers, including breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and lymphoma.
DHEE Hospitals utilises a multidisciplinary approach to tailor immunotherapy to each patient’s unique cancer profile. This may involve genetic testing, tumour profiling, and considering the patient’s overall health to develop a personalised treatment plan.
Immunotherapy can have side effects, including fatigue, skin rashes, and autoimmune reactions. DHEE Hospitals has experienced oncologists and support staff who closely monitor patients and provide symptom management and support as needed.
Yes, DHEE Hospitals actively participates in clinical trials related to Oncology Immunology. Patients may have the opportunity to enrol in these trials to access cutting-edge treatments and contribute to the advancement of cancer research.
Patients can schedule a consultation with an oncologist at DHEE Hospitals to discuss their specific case, learn about available immunotherapy options, and receive personalised guidance on the most suitable treatment plan for their cancer diagnosis.system on their official website.
