1. Hematology Tests:
- Complete Blood Count (CBC): Measures the number and types of blood cells.
- Hemoglobin and Hematocrit: Assess the amount of hemoglobin and the proportion of blood occupied by red blood cells.
- Platelet Count: Determines the number of platelets in the blood.
2. Chemistry Tests:
- Blood Glucose: Measures the concentration of glucose in the blood.
- Electrolyte Panel: Checks levels of sodium, potassium, chloride, and other electrolytes.
- Liver Function Tests: Assess the health and function of the liver.
- Kidney Function Tests: Evaluate the function of the kidneys.
3. Coagulation Tests:
- Prothrombin Time (PT) and International Normalized Ratio (INR): Assess blood clotting.
- Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT): Measures the time it takes for blood to clot.
4. Immunology and Serology Tests:
- Antibody Tests: Detect antibodies produced by the immune system in response to infections.
- Viral and Bacterial Cultures: Identify infectious agents.

- Genetic Testing: Identifies genetic mutations associated with inherited disorders.
7. Blood Typing and Crossmatching:
- ABO and Rh Typing: Determines blood type.
- Crossmatching: Ensures compatibility between donor and recipient blood in transfusions.
8. Radiology and Imaging Tests:
- X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs: Used to visualize internal structures for diagnostic purposes.
9. Urinalysis:
- Analyzes the physical and chemical properties of urine to assess kidney function and detect abnormalities.
