Tests And Trusts Lab

When it comes to detecting and diagnosing serious health conditions like cancer, tumours, or chronic infections, one test stands out in precision and reliability — the   biopsy . At  AK Diagnostics , we recognise the importance of early and accurate detection. That’s why we offer advanced  biopsy testing services  that help doctors get a clear picture of what’s happening inside your body, guiding effective treatment plans. What is a Biopsy, and why is it done? A  biopsy  involves the removal of a small amount of tissue from the body so it can be examined under a microscope. It helps determine whether cells are healthy or abnormal, and if abnormalities such as  cancer ,  infections , or  autoimmune conditions  are present. Biopsies are often recommended when: Imaging scans reveal a suspicious area There’s a lump or growth without a clear cause Symptoms persist without explanation There’s a need to confirm or rule out cancer A biopsy doesn...

 Take Charge of Your Health with AK Diagnostics Overview Women’s health is a vital part of overall family well-being, yet many gynaecological conditions often go unnoticed until they start affecting daily life. One such condition is a  fibroid uterus , a common but sometimes silent health concern. At  AK Diagnostics , we provide advanced diagnostic services to help detect, monitor, and guide treatment for fibroids with accuracy and care. What is a Fibroid Uterus? A fibroid uterus refers to the presence of  fibroids , which are non-cancerous growths in the muscle tissue of the uterus. These growths are medically known as  leiomyomas  or  myomas . They can vary in size—from as small as a seed to as large as a melon—and may grow as single or multiple lumps. Fibroids are most commonly found in women during their reproductive years and are influenced by hormonal factors, particularly estrogen and progesterone.   Common Symptoms of Fibroids Many women w...

  Overview When it comes to diagnosing cancer accurately, early and precise identification is crucial. Among the many advanced diagnostic tools available today,  Immuno-Histochemistry (IHC)  stands out as a powerful and essential technique, especially in cancer diagnosis. At  AK Diagnostics , we use IHC to help oncologists and pathologists understand the type, origin, and behaviour of a tumour at the molecular level. What is Immuno-Histochemistry (IHC)? Immuno-Histochemistry is a laboratory method that uses antibodies to detect specific proteins (antigens) in tissue samples. These antibodies are tagged with special stains, allowing the target cells to be seen under a microscope. Think of IHC as a “molecular fingerprinting” test — it identifies cancer cells by detecting specific markers unique to each type of cancer. Why is IHC Important in Cancer Diagnosis? Cancer is not a single disease. Tumours differ in cell types, aggressiveness, and treatment response. IHC helps...
