- Purpose: Identifies your blood type (A, B, AB, O, and rhesus factor).
- Importance: Crucial for safe blood transfusions, organ transplants, and for pregnant women to avoid complications such as Rh incompatibility.
3. Haemoglobin Level (HB) (20 minutes, Cost: ksh 500):
- Purpose: Determines the amount of hemoglobin in the blood.
- Importance: Essential for diagnosing anemia or other conditions affecting the oxygen-carrying capacity of blood.
4. Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) (1 hour, Cost: ksh 500):
- Purpose: Measures the rate at which red blood cells settle in a tube over a specific time.
- Importance: Indicates inflammation, aiding in the detection of infections, autoimmune diseases, or certain cancers.
Microbiology Tests
5. Stool for Ova & Cysts (3 days, Cost: 2,500):
- Purpose: Detects the presence of parasitic eggs or cysts in stool.
- Importance: Diagnoses parasitic infections like tapeworms or protozoa, which can disrupt intestinal health.
6. Urinalysis (MC5) (3 days, Cost: 2,500):
- Purpose: Examines the physical and chemical aspects of urine.
- Importance: Helps in diagnosing urinary tract infections, kidney issues, or monitoring health in conditions like diabetes.
7. High Vaginal Swab (HVS) Microscopy (3 days, Cost: 2,500):
- Purpose: Collects and examines samples from the vagina.

8. Sputum Gram Stain (Cost: 2,800):
- Purpose: Analyzes sputum samples for bacterial pathogens.
- Importance: Identifies lung infections, such as pneumonia, and determines causative bacteria.
9. Mantoux Test (1 hour, Cost: 2,800):
- Purpose: A skin test to detect tuberculosis exposure.
- Importance: Critical for diagnosing latent or active tuberculosis, especially in high-risk populations.
10. Urine for Culture & Sensitivity (C/S) (20 minutes, Cost: 1500):
- Purpose: Identifies bacteria causing UTIs and their antibiotic susceptibility.
- Importance: Ensures precision in treating urinary infections.
11. Sputum ZN Staining (AFB) (3 days, Cost: 2,800):
- Purpose: Detects acid-fast bacilli, such as those causing tuberculosis.
- Importance: Essential for diagnosing and managing TB.
12. Throat Swab Culture & Sensitivity (3 days, Cost: 2,800):
- Purpose: Collects samples from the throat to detect bacterial infections.
- Importance: Identifies infections like strep throat and helps guide antibiotic treatment.
13. KOH Preparation (10 days, Cost: 4,800):
- Purpose: Examines skin, hair, or nail samples for fungal infections.
- Importance: Diagnoses fungal conditions and guides antifungal treatment.
Specialized Tests
14. HbA1C (Glycosylated Hemoglobin) (1 day, Cost: 3,000):
- Purpose: Measures blood sugar levels over three months.
- Importance: Vital for diagnosing and managing diabetes, ensuring effective blood sugar control.
15. Coombs Test (Direct/Indirect) (2 hours, Cost: 3,500):
- Purpose: Detects antibodies causing destruction of red blood cells.
- Importance: Diagnoses hemolytic anemia and ensures safe blood transfusions, especially during pregnancy.
16. Blood for Culture & Sensitivity (C/S):
- Purpose: Determines bloodstream infections and antibiotic sensitivity.
- Importance: Helps identify the source of bloodstream infections and choose the most effective antibiotics.
17. HB Electrophoresis:
- Purpose: Identifies abnormal hemoglobin variants.
- Importance: Diagnoses genetic blood disorders like sickle cell anemia or beta-thalassemia.
