Accurate, timely diagnostic testing across blood, body fluids, infection and immunity — with a fully equipped in-house laboratory that supports every department in the clinic.
The Laboratory (Pathology) department at Apollo Clinic Shyamnagar carries out the diagnostic testing that underlies almost every treatment decision made at the clinic — from a routine blood count to specialised infection and immunology screening. Reliable lab results are what turn a symptom into a diagnosis, so accuracy, sample handling and timely reporting are treated as core to patient care, not a background service.
Samples are collected by trained staff following standard protocols, processed on-site, and reported to your treating doctor so the result feeds directly into your consultation. For most routine tests, this means diagnosis and treatment planning can happen in a single visit.
Because the laboratory sits within a multispeciality clinic, results are read in the context of your full clinical picture — a doctor ordering the test, not a report handed over in isolation — and abnormal findings are followed up with the relevant department directly.
Our in-house laboratory covers the following categories of testing:
| Service | What It Covers |
|---|---|
| Clinical Hematology (Blood & Coagulation) | Complete blood counts, haemoglobin, blood cell disorders and coagulation (clotting) studies used to assess anaemia, infection, bleeding tendency and general blood health |
| Clinical Biochemistry (Clinical Chemistry) | Blood sugar, liver function, kidney function, lipid profile and other chemical markers used to assess organ function and metabolic health |
| Clinical Serology | Antibody and antigen-based blood tests used to detect current or past infection and certain inflammatory conditions |
| Clinical Immunology | Tests assessing immune system function, used in the evaluation of autoimmune conditions and certain chronic inflammatory disorders |
| Electrolyte Analysis | Sodium, potassium and other electrolyte levels; important in dehydration, kidney disease and monitoring certain medications |
| Viral Marker | Screening and confirmatory tests for specific viral infections, commonly required before procedures, during pregnancy, or when infection is suspected |
| Microscope Examination | Direct microscopic examination of blood, urine, stool or other samples to detect cells, parasites, crystals or abnormal structures |
| Fluids & Biopsy | Analysis of body fluids and tissue samples sent for diagnostic confirmation, guiding treatment for a wide range of conditions |
| Culture & Sensitivity | Grows organisms from a sample to identify the infecting bacteria and determine which antibiotics it responds to, guiding targeted treatment |
| Aerobic Culture | Culture testing specifically for oxygen-requiring (aerobic) bacteria, commonly used for wound, urine and respiratory infections |
Lab testing supports diagnosis and monitoring across nearly every specialty at the clinic. Here is how these services are commonly used:

Full In-House LaboratoryHaematology, biochemistry, serology, immunology, microbiology and fluid analysis all under one roof, so most reports reach your doctor without an outside referral. | Results Read in Clinical ContextTests are ordered and interpreted by your treating doctor, so an abnormal result is followed up immediately rather than left for you to act on alone. | |
Trained Sample CollectionBlood draws, swabs and other sample collection are performed by trained staff following standard protocols, which matters for both comfort and result accuracy. | Multispeciality IntegrationLab results connect directly to your consultation with cardiology, urology, neurology, dermatology and other departments at the clinic — one record, one visit. | |
Not always. Routine tests such as a complete blood count or blood sugar can often be done as a walk-in. Some tests, particularly specialised ones like culture and sensitivity, viral markers or immunology panels, are best ordered by a doctor who can interpret the result in the context of your symptoms — if in doubt, ask at reception.
It involves growing the actual organism causing an infection from your sample, then testing it against a panel of antibiotics to see which ones work. Because the organism has to grow first, this naturally takes longer than a same-day blood test — typically two to three days — but it gives your doctor a precise, rather than a general, choice of treatment.
It depends on the test. Blood sugar and lipid (cholesterol) profiles usually require 8–12 hours of fasting for an accurate result, while most other blood tests, including a complete blood count, do not. Check with reception or your prescribing doctor before your visit if you are unsure.
Most routine blood and urine tests are reported the same day or within 24–48 hours. Culture-based tests and certain specialised panels take longer, since some processes cannot be rushed without affecting accuracy. You will be told the expected turnaround time when your sample is collected.
Yes. Viral marker screening is commonly done before certain procedures or surgeries, during pregnancy, or as part of routine health screening, not only when symptoms are present. Your doctor can advise which screening is appropriate for your situation.
