Overview

Biochemistry plays a vital role in the clinical diagnosis of infectious diseases, genetic disorders, and cancer; and aids in several forms of investigations to improve the quality of lives. The efficient Biochemistry department at the Sunshine Hospitals is adept at diagnosing and monitoring several diseases and conditions. It is done by assessing the concentration of chemicals in blood, urine, stools and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Using a wide range of biochemical tests, the well-equipped laboratory operates on a seven day a week basis, and provides thorough analysis and consultations to various departments at Sunshine.

The department largely supports the following conditions

Diabetes
Metabolic medicine

Supports neonatal and antenatal screening programmes

Biochemical techniques are used in clinical diagnosis of infectious diseases, genetic disorders, and cancer; as well as in many forms of research to improve the quality of our lives.
