INVESTIGATIONS
At Kpond Superspeciality Hospital,
we are dedicated to providing comprehensive and advanced diagnostic services to ensure accurate and timely diagnosis for our young patients. Our state-of-the-art facilities and expert team of specialists cover a wide range of paediatric conditions, focusing particularly on children’s cancer, general investigations, orthopaedic, and neurology. Below is an overview of the key investigations available at our hospital
Children’s Cancer Investigations
Bone Marrow Biopsy and Aspiration
Essential for diagnosing leukaemia and other blood cancers.
Cytogenetic Analysis
Detects genetic abnormalities associated with various types of cancer.
Flow Cytometry
Identifies and measures specific types of cancer cells in blood or bone marrow.
Molecular Diagnostic Tests
Includes PCR and FISH to detect specific cancer markers and gene mutations.
Orthopaedic Investigations
X-Rays
Imaging for diagnosing fractures, bone deformities, and other musculoskeletal issues.
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Detailed imaging for soft tissue evaluation, including joints, muscles, and tendons.
CT Scan (Computed Tomography)
Advanced imaging for detailed cross-sectional views of bones and joints.
Bone Density Scan (DEXA)
Measures bone mineral density to diagnose osteoporosis and other bone health issues.
Neurological Investigations
EEG (Electroencephalogram)
Measures electrical activity of the brain to diagnose epilepsy and other neurological disorders.
EMG (Electromyography)
Evaluates muscle response to nerve stimulation for diagnosing neuromuscular disorders.
Neuroimaging
Includes MRI and CT scans for detailed imaging of the brain and spinal cord.
Lumbar Puncture (Spinal Tap)
Collects cerebrospinal fluid for diagnosing infections, bleeding, or neurological conditions.
Genetic Investigations
Genetic Testing
Identifies inherited conditions and gene mutations linked to pediatric disorders, including rare genetic diseases.
Cytogenetic Analysis
Detects chromosomal abnormalities that may lead to developmental delays, congenital disorders, or cancer predispositions.
Molecular Diagnostic Tests
Includes advanced techniques like PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) and FISH (Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization) for detecting specific genetic markers and mutations.
Whole Exome Sequencing
Provides detailed insights into genetic variations by sequencing the protein-coding regions of genes, aiding in the diagnosis of complex genetic disorders.
General Investigations
Blood Tests
Comprehensive panel including CBC, blood glucose, liver and kidney function tests, and more.
Urinalysis
Basic urine analysis to detect infections, metabolic disorders, and kidney conditions.
Biochemical Tests
Assessments for electrolytes, enzymes, hormones, and other critical biomarkers.
Immunological Tests
Allergy testing and autoimmune disease markers to evaluate immune system function.
At Kpond Superspeciality Hospital, our advanced diagnostic capabilities, combined with our team of dedicated specialists, ensure that each child receives precise, personalised, and effective care.
