Clinical Pathology List

Assesses the movement of sperm cells under a microscope, which helps determine sperm motility and fertility potential.
Microscopy
Semen

Identifies other cells present in the sample, such as white blood cells, which can indicate infection or inflammation.
Macroscopy
Semen

Measures the pH level to assess its acidity or alkalinity, as changes in pH can affect sperm quality and overall health.
double indicator principle
Semen

Counts the number of sperm cells per milliliter of semen to evaluate sperm concentration and diagnose potential male infertility.
Microscopy
Semen

Assesses the semen's viscosity after ejaculation to check if it liquefies normally, which is crucial for sperm mobility.
Liquefaction
Semen

Evaluates the physical properties of the sample's consistency to detect any abnormalities that could affect fertility.
Macroscopy
Semen

Measures the total volume to evaluate glandular secretions and identify any deficiencies that could affect fertility.
Macroscopy
Semen

Detects the presence of abnormal cells in the sample, which can indicate infections or gastrointestinal disorders.
Microscopy Concentration method
Stool

Evaluates the physical properties of stool, such as color, texture, and the presence of blood or mucus, to identify potential digestive or systemic issues.
Macroscopy
Stool

Detects parasitic cysts in stool samples, indicating possible intestinal infections.
Microscopy Concentration method
Stool

Identifies parasitic eggs, which may indicate intestinal parasitic infections.
Microscopy Concentration method
Stool

Detects parasitic organisms in stool samples, helping diagnose infections like amoebiasis or giardiasis.
Microscopy Concentration method
Stool

Measures the pH of the sample to assess digestive function and detect conditions like malabsorption or bacterial overgrowth.
Chemical
Stool

Detects reducing substances in stool, which can indicate carbohydrate malabsorption, often seen in conditions like lactose intolerance.
Chemical
Stool

Tests for hidden blood in the stool, which can indicate conditions such as colorectal cancer, ulcers, or gastrointestinal bleeding.
Two Field Guaiac Method
Stool

Detects specific proteins in urine, which are indicative of plasma cell disorders or other conditions like multiple myeloma.
Heat Method
Urine

Tests for the presence of bile salts in urine, which can indicate liver dysfunction or bile duct obstructions.
Sulphur Powder Method
Urine

Detects the presence of bilirubin, indicating liver disease, jaundice, or biliary obstruction.
Fouchet's Method
Urine

Tests for bilirubin using a chemical reaction to identify liver dysfunction or hemolytic anemia.
Diazotized Dichloroaniline method
Urine

Detects blood in urine, which can indicate urinary tract infections, kidney stones, or trauma.
Peroxidase-like activity of hemoglobin
Urine

Assesses the color of urine, which can provide insights into hydration levels, dietary factors, or potential kidney and liver issues.
Physical
Urine

Tests for glucose in urine to diagnose conditions such as diabetes or other metabolic disorders.
Benedict's Method
Urine

Uses a strip test to detect glucose levels in urine, helping diagnose conditions like diabetes or kidney disorders.
GOD-POD
Urine

Detects ketones in urine, which can indicate diabetic ketoacidosis or fasting/starvation states.
Rotheras Test
Urine

Uses a strip to detect ketones in urine, aiding in the diagnosis of metabolic disorders such as ketosis or diabetic ketoacidosis.
Nitroprusside reaction
Urine

Measures the pH of urine to assess the body's acid-base balance and kidney function.
pH Paper
Urine

Uses a strip to detect pH levels, helping assess renal function and metabolic conditions.
Methyl red / Bromothymol blue Method
Urine

Detects protein in urine, which can indicate kidney disease, urinary tract infections, or hypertension.
Heat Method
Urine

Uses a strip test to detect protein, helping diagnose conditions like nephrotic syndrome or glomerulonephritis.
protein error of pH principle ( Strip Method)
Urine

Examines urine under a microscope to detect abnormalities such as red blood cells, pus cells, epithelial cells, urinary casts, or crystals, which can indicate kidney disease or infections.
Microscopy
Urine

Assesses the physical properties of urine sediment, which may contain cells, crystals, or casts indicative of urinary tract or kidney conditions.
Physical
Urine

Measures urine specific gravity to assess kidney function, hydration status, and renal concentrating ability.
based on pka change
Urine

Detects urobilinogen levels in urine, which can help diagnose liver disease, hemolysis, or obstructive jaundice.
Modified Ehrlichal™s reaction
Urine

Evaluates the shape and structure of sperm cells under a microscope to diagnose infertility issues related to abnormal sperm morphology.
Microscopy : Papanicolaou Stain
Semen

Measures specific substances in the sample to assess the function of the seminal vesicles, as certain compounds are produced by them and are essential for sperm motility.
Resorcinol method
Semen

Assesses the general appearance of the sample to detect abnormalities like color, consistency, and volume, which may indicate conditions such as infection or hormonal imbalances.
Macroscopy
Semen
