Haematology
Unit: |
|
| |
|
|
| |
 |
|
K. E. M. Hospital has a fully established
and computerized Haematology Laboratory,
which has been operational since
25 years. It is the only laboratory
in Pune with a Platelet Aggregometer
to diagnose rare platelet function
defects like Glanzmann's Thromboasthaenia,
Bernard Soulier Syndrome, von Willebrande's
Disease, etc
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
The laboratory is equipped with Cell Counters.
In addition to routine haematological investigations,
Peadiatric Heamatology is also carried out.
Complete work ups for all cases of anaemia (deficiency
anaemias, haemolytical disorders, haemoglobinopathies
and aphasias). Facilities for diagnosis of Leukemias
including cytochemistry, i.e. LAP Score, PAS,
Peroxidase, NSE and markers are available.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
There
are facilities for conducting Bone Marrow Aspirations
and Biopsies. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Coagulometers, Coagulation factor assays, useful
in the diagnosis and treatment of various bleeding
and clotting disorders, e.g. Hemophilia, Thrombocytopenia,
Thrombotic Disorders etc. are available here.
Screening tests for Thrombophilia is also available.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
The unit maintains the highest standards of
Quality Control by participating in external
quality control programmes.
|
|
| |
|
|

Biochemistry
and Endocrinology: |
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
The Unit is equipped with an Autoanalyser,
Immunoanalyser, PCR Unit, Hitachi
Randox Random Access Analyzer and
Mini Vidas Bio Merieux. In addition
to the routine biochemical tests
done here, it is the only referral
center for diagnosis of In Born
Errors of Metabolism.
|
|
 |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Therapeutic drug monitoring ,Blood Gas Analysis,
Hormone Concentrations in Plasma which are useful
in the study of Endocrine Disorders and other
Autoimmune disorders are some of the other facilities
available in this unit.

|
|
| |
Microbiology: |
|
| |
|
|
| |
The Microbiology Unit of the K.E.M. Hospital
is the leading Automated Clinical Microbiology
Laboratory in Pune District. It lends a helping
hand to other research institutes in and around
Pune.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
The unit is equipped with an Automated Blood
Culture System for rapid identification and
isolation of common pathogenic bacteria, Fungi
and Mycobacterium (Tubercular bacteria).
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Serological detection of HIV, HBsAG, HCV, Typhoid,
Rickettsial fevers, Infectious Mononucleosis,
Rheumatoid Factor and the detection of Dengue
Antigen/Antibody and Leptospira Antibody are
some of the facilities provided in the Department.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Research |
|
| |
|
|
| |
The Microbiology Unit plays an important role
in the various Research Projects conducted by
the KEM Hospital Research Center. Some of the
prestigious and landmark projects in which this
department has been involved are:
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Effects of maternal nutrition and low birth
weight amongst newborn babies. (USAID-ICMR).
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Bacterial
pneumonias and Meningitis in neonates. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Meningitis
Vaccine Project (WHO-Serum Institute of India) |
|
| |
|
|
| |
J.E.
Vaccine Project (ICMR). |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Avert
HIV (Tata Trust) |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Newer tests and techniques, which are used
in these research projects, are later successfully
incorporated as routine diagnostic tests, implementing
successful technology transfer.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Histopathology
Unit: |
|
| |
|
|
| |
 |
|
The Histopathology Unit is equipped
with sophisticated instruments and
the latest technology. It has recently
established an Immunohistochemistry
section that has the facility for
all RHC- Biomarkers.
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
The unit provides services for round the clock
diagnosis of frozen section and intraoperative
decision-making. In addition, the unit is equipped
with facilities for Photography, Telepathology
and related Research. There is an entire set
up for diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic
decisions in Renal Pathologies.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
More than 3000 specimens and biopsies from
various specialties of medicine are received
every year. It also gets referrals for histotechnology
and second opinions from other institutes.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Cytology
Unit: |
|
| |
|
|
| |
An integral part of the Pathology Department,
the Cytology Lab has the facility to do fine
needle aspiration body fluid cytology and PAP
smear. The Cytopathology section is equipped
with a cytocentrifuge. Liaison with the Radiology
dept. for imaging guidance (under Computed Tomography)
renders virtually all body sites accessible
to the fine needle (for FNAC and biopsy), thus
allowing consistent tissue diagnosis of the
patients.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Academics:
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
All units of the Pathology Department are recognized
for teaching of DPB, FCPS, M.Sc., PhD and DNB
