Looking Deeper Into Inflammatory Conditions from a Laboratory and Clinical Perspective

14 May 2019

Inflammation and infection are two different things, although they very often occur together. ‘Inflammation’ describes exclusively the body’s immunovascular response, irrespective of the cause. It is our body’s natural defence against damaged cells, physical or chemical agents, allergens or pathogenic organisms and aims to remove these harmful or foreign invaders and recover. Generally there are two different types of inflammation. One is acute inflammation, the other is chronic.

HematologyIn Haematology / Hematology, complete blood cell counts (or full blood counts) are obtained using automated blood count analyzers to enumerate blood cell types.  Hematology also encompasses haemostasis and coagulation, thrombophilia and hemophilia, plasma viscosity and ESR analysis, hemoglobinopathies, cell morphology and haematinic measurement.ImmunologyImmunological techniques measure and characterize immune responses. Immunology kits and analysis systems often use techniques such as ELISA, radioimmunoassay (RIA) and immunodiffusion assays, Immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry. Immunologists use equipment such as flow Cytometers, plate readers, plate washers and fluorescent microscopes.Hematology Point of CareInflammationInflammatory Diseases
