  • Coagulation profile (PT, aPTT, INR, fibrinogen, D-dimers)
  • Diagnosis of hematological disorders

2. Biochemistry

  • Liver and kidney function tests (SGOT, SGPT, urea, creatinine, etc.)
  • Lipid profile (cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides)
  • Electrolytes (Na, K, Cl, Ca, Mg, P)
  • Glucose – HbA1c (glycated hemoglobin)
  • Amylase, lipase, CRP, and other specific markers

3. Endocrinology

  • Thyroid panel (TSH, FT3, FT4, anti-TG, anti-TPO)
  • Reproductive health (FSH, LH, PRL, testosterone, estradiol, AMH)
