Community Healthcare Clinics offers a wide range of lab tests and diagnostic services.
TIBC
TIBC (Total Iron-Binding Capacity) is a blood test that measures the ability of transferrin, a protein in the blood, to bind to iron. Transferrin is the primary carrier protein responsible for transporting iron through the bloodstream to various tissues and organs.
Tissue AFB Smear
A Tissue AFB Smear is a diagnostic test used to detect acid-fast bacilli (AFB), such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis and other mycobacterial species, in a sample of tissue. This test is typically performed when a patient has signs or symptoms of a mycobacterial infection, such as tuberculosis (TB), and the infection is suspected to be localized to a specific tissue or organ, like the skin, lymph nodes, bones, or other tissues.
Total Lipids
Total lipids refer to the total amount of fat-like substances found in the blood, including various types of lipids (fat molecules) such as cholesterol, triglycerides, phospholipids, and lipoproteins. These lipids are essential for many physiological functions, including energy storage, cell membrane structure, and the transportation of fat-soluble vitamins and hormones.
Total Protein
Total Protein is a blood test that measures the overall amount of proteins in the blood. Proteins are essential for various functions in the body, including maintaining fluid balance, supporting immune function, and acting as enzymes and hormones. The two main categories of proteins measured in this test are albumin and globulin.
Tracheal aspirate
A tracheal aspirate is a sample of mucus or fluid that is collected from the trachea (windpipe) or the lower respiratory tract. It is typically obtained through a procedure called tracheal aspiration, which involves using a suction device or catheter to collect the sample. This test is often performed to evaluate the presence of infection, inflammation, or other respiratory conditions.
Triglycerides
Triglycerides are a type of fat (lipid) found in your blood. They are the most common form of fat in the body and serve as an important energy source. When you eat, your body converts any calories it doesn't immediately need into triglycerides, which are stored in fat cells. Later, when your body needs energy, hormones release the triglycerides to be used as fuel.
Troponin I - (ICT)
Troponin I (ICT) refers to a blood test that measures the levels of Troponin I, a protein found in heart muscle cells. ICT stands for Immuno-Chemiluminescent Test, which is a type of laboratory technique used to measure the concentration of troponin I in the blood. This test is widely used to diagnose or assess heart attacks (myocardial infarction) and other cardiac conditions.
Troponin I (Quantitative)
Troponin-T is a protein found in heart muscle cells that plays a critical role in muscle contraction. Troponin-T, along with other troponin proteins (Troponin-I and Troponin-C), helps regulate the contraction of heart muscle fibers. When the heart muscle is damaged, as in the case of a heart attack (myocardial infarction), Troponin-T is released into the bloodstream, making it an important biomarker for diagnosing heart damage.

U/S guided diagnostic aspiration (FNAC)
Ultrasound (U/S) Guided Diagnostic Aspiration (FNAC), or Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC), is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose abnormalities in tissues or organs. In this procedure, an ultrasound device guides a thin, hollow needle into a specific area of concern—like a lump or mass—to collect cells for examination under a microscope.
U/S Guided FNAC
U/S Guided FNAC stands for Ultrasound-Guided Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology. It is a diagnostic procedure used to collect tissue or fluid samples from a specific area of the body to examine for abnormalities such as infections, tumors, or cysts. The procedure combines ultrasound imaging with fine needle aspiration (FNA) to guide the needle precisely to the area of interest.
U/S Guided FNAC (SHM)
The U/S Guided FNAC (SHM) test refers to Ultrasound-Guided Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) performed with the use of ultrasound imaging, in a specific medical setting or protocol indicated by SHM.
