Pathology Services

At Eden Gardens Private Hospital, accurate and timely diagnostic testing plays an important role in providing quality patient care. Our Pathology Services are supported by leading pathology providers Lancet Laboratories and Ampath, offering patients and healthcare professionals access to a comprehensive range of laboratory and diagnostic testing services.

Pathology involves the examination and analysis of blood, tissue, cells and other specimens to help healthcare professionals diagnose conditions, monitor treatment and make informed decisions about patient care. Through the services available at Eden Gardens, patients have access to specialised pathology expertise across a wide range of medical disciplines.

Comprehensive Pathology Services

Our pathology providers offer extensive laboratory medicine services covering routine investigations as well as specialised diagnostic testing.

Haematology and Coagulation

Haematology focuses on disorders affecting the blood and bone marrow. Testing can assist in the investigation and monitoring of conditions such as anaemia, infections, blood disorders and clotting abnormalities. Specialist services may include routine haematology, coagulation testing, flow cytometry and bone marrow assessment.

Chemical Pathology and Clinical Chemistry

Chemical pathology involves the analysis of chemical and biochemical substances in specimens such as blood, urine and other body fluids. These investigations can assist with the assessment and monitoring of metabolic, endocrine and other medical conditions. Services include routine chemistry, specialised biochemistry, endocrinology, serology and selected toxicology investigations.

Histopathology and Cytology

Histopathology examines tissue samples to identify disease and changes in the structure of organs and tissues. This may include biopsies and surgical specimens. Cytology examines individual cells and is commonly used in the assessment of suspicious, precancerous or cancerous conditions.

Specialised histopathology services can include immunohistochemical and special stains, as well as molecular pathology techniques where clinically indicated. Cytology services may include cervical cytology, analysis of body fluids and fine-needle aspiration specimens.

Microbiology and Infectious Disease Testing

Microbiology assists in the identification of microorganisms responsible for infections and helps guide appropriate treatment. Testing can include investigations for bacterial and fungal infections, as well as specialised infectious disease and tuberculosis testing.

Lancet Laboratories provides dedicated microbiology, TB and virology services, including molecular and serological testing for a range of viral illnesses.

Molecular Pathology and Genetics

Modern pathology increasingly uses molecular techniques to identify changes at a genetic and cellular level. Molecular testing can support the diagnosis of infectious diseases, genetic conditions and cancers.

Lancet Laboratories offers molecular testing covering infectious and genetic diseases, molecular oncology and DNA profiling, while Ampath provides extensive genetic services including diagnostic, predictive, carrier and prognostic testing, reproductive genetics, inherited cancer syndromes and next-generation sequencing.

Additional Specialised Services

Ampath’s pathology services encompass major disciplines including allergy and immunology, chemical pathology, genetics, haematology, histopathology and microbiology. Its specialised services also include andrology, endocrinology, molecular biology, forensic pathology, occupational and industrial health services, electron microscopy, genetic counselling and specialised biochemistry.

Lancet Laboratories similarly provides a broad range of pathology disciplines, including allergy, analytical chemistry, cytogenetics, cytology, haematology, histology, microbiology, molecular pathology, TB laboratory services and virology.
