A CBC evaluates red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, hemoglobin, and hematocrit levels. It helps detect conditions such as anemia, infections, clotting disorders, and various blood-related diseases, giving your physician a clear overview of your overall blood health.

A coagulation profile measures how well your blood clots and is commonly requested before surgery, during pregnancy, or if you’re experiencing unusual bruising or bleeding. It helps identify clotting disorders and monitors patients on blood-thinning medications.

Most hematology tests, including CBC and coagulation studies, don’t require fasting. However, if your doctor has also ordered additional tests such as glucose or lipid panels alongside your hematology workup, fasting may be necessary — our team will guide you accordingly.

A bone marrow examination involves collecting a small sample from the marrow, usually from the hip bone, under local anesthesia. While patients may feel brief pressure or discomfort during the procedure, it is generally well-tolerated and performed by experienced specialists to minimize any distress.

Routine hematology tests such as CBC are typically processed within a few hours, while specialized tests like bone marrow analysis or advanced coagulation studies may take longer. Reports are delivered digitally via WhatsApp or our online patient portal as soon as they’re ready.
