Department of Pathology
Almost every diagnosis in this hospital passes through a lab report at some point, a blood test confirming an infection, a biopsy telling a surgeon whether something is cancerous, a routine panel catching diabetes before symptoms show up. Dr. Shweta runs Pathology at Shri Balaji Aarogyam Hospital in Kurukshetra, and the department’s work rarely gets seen directly by patients, but almost nothing else in the hospital moves forward without it.

The Testing Behind Every, Diagnosis
A doctor’s exam can point toward a problem. Confirming it, and figuring out exactly what it is, usually comes down to what happens in this lab.
Biochemistry
Blood chemistry testing, sugar levels, kidney and liver function, cholesterol, and the routine panels that most diagnoses start with.
Hematology
Testing the blood itself, red cells, white cells, platelets, clotting function, used to catch anemia, infection, and blood disorders.
Serology
Testing for antibodies and immune response, used to detect infections and certain autoimmune conditions.
Cytology
Examining individual cells, often from a Pap smear or fluid sample, to check for abnormal or cancerous changes.
Histopathology
Examining tissue samples from a biopsy under the microscope, usually the deciding factor in confirming whether something is cancerous.
24x7 Laboratory Services
Testing doesn't stop at the end of OPD hours. Emergency cases need lab results just as urgently at 3 a.m. as they do at noon.
OVERVIEW
The Department Patients Rarely Meet
Most patients never actually talk to Dr. Shweta. They see a nurse draw blood, or hand over a sample, and the actual work happens somewhere behind the scenes before a number or a result shows up on a report a doctor explains later. That doesn’t make the work small. A biopsy result deciding whether something is cancer, a blood culture identifying which antibiotic will actually work, these are the moments where a wrong or delayed answer matters enormously.
Waiting for results is its own kind of stress, especially for anything that could be serious. The lab runs 24 hours a day partly for exactly that reason, so a critical result doesn’t sit until the next morning because it happened to come in overnight.
Behind Every Diagnosis
Test results that confirm or rule out what a doctor suspects, across every department in the hospital.
Cancer Detection Through Biopsy
Histopathology and cytology are often what actually confirms or rules out cancer, not imaging alone.
24x7 Testing
Lab results available around the clock, not held until the next working day.
Routine and Urgent, Same Lab
A yearly checkup panel and an emergency blood culture both run through the same department.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do lab results usually take?
Depends on the test. Routine blood work often comes back within hours. Cytology and histopathology, which involve examining cells or tissue under a microscope, generally take longer, sometimes a few days, since that process can’t be rushed without risking accuracy.
What's the difference between cytology and histopathology?
Cytology looks at individual cells, often from a Pap smear or fluid sample. Histopathology examines a piece of actual tissue from a biopsy. Both check for abnormal or cancerous changes, but histopathology generally gives a more definitive answer since it shows the tissue structure, not just isolated cells.
Do I need to fast before a blood test?
Some tests, particularly blood sugar and cholesterol panels, require fasting for accurate results. Others don’t. Whoever orders your test should tell you whether fasting is needed, and it’s worth asking directly if you’re unsure.
Can I get lab tests done here without a doctor's referral?
Many routine tests can be booked directly. Some specialized tests may need a doctor’s order, particularly if they’re tied to a specific diagnosis being investigated.
My biopsy result is taking longer than expected. Is that normal?
It can be. Histopathology involves careful tissue processing and microscopic examination, and accuracy matters more than speed here. If it’s taking longer than what you were told to expect, it’s reasonable to call and ask for an update.
