Community Healthcare Clinics offers a wide range of lab tests and diagnostic services.
Lymph node AFB Smear
A Lymph Node AFB Smear is a diagnostic test used to detect acid-fast bacilli (AFB), such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, in the tissue or fluid obtained from swollen lymph nodes. Lymph nodes are part of the body's immune system and are commonly involved in infections, including tuberculosis (TB). The test helps diagnose tuberculous lymphadenitis, a form of TB that primarily affects the lymph nodes.
Magnesium
Magnesium is an essential mineral that plays a critical role in many bodily functions. It is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body and is involved in over 300 biochemical reactions. Magnesium is required for the proper functioning of enzymes, muscles, nerves, and bones, among other systems.
Mantoux Test
The Mantoux Test, also known as the Tuberculin Skin Test (TST), is a diagnostic tool used to determine if a person has been exposed to the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which causes tuberculosis (TB).
MCH
MCH stands for Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin, which is a measure of the average amount of hemoglobin in a single red blood cell (RBC). Hemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body.
MCHC
The MCHC test, which stands for Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration, is a blood test that measures the average concentration of hemoglobin in a given volume of red blood cells. It is one of the red blood cell indices included in a complete blood count (CBC) test and provides important information about the quality and function of red blood cells.
MCV
MCV stands for Mean Corpuscular Volume, which is a measurement of the average size of a red blood cell (RBC). It is a key parameter in the Complete Blood Count (CBC) test and is used to help classify different types of anemia and other blood disorders.
Micro Albumin(Urine)
Microalbumin (Urine) refers to the measurement of small amounts of albumin (a type of protein) in the urine. Under normal conditions, very little or no albumin is present in the urine, as the kidneys filter out waste and retain essential proteins like albumin in the bloodstream. However, when the kidneys are damaged or stressed, they may begin to allow small amounts of albumin to pass into the urine. This is known as microalbuminuria.
MP (Malarial Parasite)
The MP (Malarial Parasite) test is a diagnostic test used to detect the presence of Plasmodium parasites in the blood, which are responsible for malaria. This test helps in diagnosing malaria, a serious and potentially life-threatening disease caused by infection with these parasites. Malaria is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected Anopheles mosquitoes.
MP ICT
The MP ICT is a rapid diagnostic test used to detect the presence of malaria parasites in the blood, specifically in patients suspected of having malaria. It is based on the immunochromatographic method, which uses antibodies to detect antigens produced by the malaria parasite.
MR MYLOGRAM ONLY (CERVICAL/DORSAL/LUMBAR) ANY ONE REGION
An MR Myelogram is a specialized MRI scan used to evaluate the spinal cord, nerve roots, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pathways in a specific region of the spine (cervical, dorsal, or lumbar).
MRA BRAIN
An MRA Brain is a non-invasive imaging test that uses MRI technology to visualize blood vessels in the brain. It helps assess blood flow and detect abnormalities in the brain’s arteries. What Does This MRA Evaluate? ✅ Aneurysms – Identifies bulging or weak spots in blood vessels that may rupture. ✅ Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs) – Detects abnormal tangles of blood vessels. ✅ Stroke & Blood Clots – Evaluates blocked or narrowed arteries causing stroke or transient ischemic attacks (TIAs). ✅ Carotid Artery Disease – Assesses narrowing or blockages in major arteries supplying blood to the brain. ✅ Brain Tumors with Vascular Involvement – Examines abnormal blood vessel growth related to tumors.
MRCP (MAGNETIC RESONANCE CHOLANGIOPANCREATOGRAPHY)
MRCP (Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography) is a specialized MRI scan that focuses on the bile ducts, gallbladder, and pancreas. It is a non-invasive alternative to endoscopic procedures like ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography) and does not require contrast injection in most cases. What Does MRCP Evaluate? ✅ Bile Ducts & Gallbladder – Detects gallstones, strictures, blockages, or bile duct tumors. ✅ Pancreas & Pancreatic Ducts – Assesses pancreatitis, cysts, tumors, or ductal abnormalities. ✅ Liver & Hepatic Ducts – Identifies biliary obstructions or complications from liver disease. ✅ Post-Surgical Biliary Anatomy – Evaluates bile duct changes after gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy) or liver transplant. ✅ Congenital Abnormalities – Detects biliary atresia, choledochal cysts, or other birth defects of the bile ducts.
