Laboratory

Laboratory Services at Iraan General Hospital
We are a full service, CLIA and CAP (College of American Pathologists) certified Laboratory offering a wide array of testing. The departments in the laboratory include:

Hematology
Clinical Chemistry
Urinalysis
Immunology
Immunohematology (Blood Bank)
Plan to add Microbiology in the future

We are able to provide quick results to aid physicians in the diagnosis of a wide range of diseases. Esoteric testing is offered through our reference laboratory, Quest Diagnostics, Inc. which provides daily courier service Monday through Friday.

We also provide testing to monitor treatment, such as TSH for thyroid monitoring, Hemoglobin AIC for diabetes and Protimes for Coumadin management; allowing patients to stay at home while their doctors manage their disease process. New to our test menu are D-dimer and BNP (B-type Natricuretic Peptide) useful in the diagnosis of Pulmonary Embolism and Congestive Heart Failure.

We welcome orders from out of town doctors and will fax results directly to their office. Orders may be faxed directly to the Laboratory at 432-639-3544 or hand carried by the patient. Please include the patient's diagnosis as well as contact information should any questions arise.

We also serve as a collection site for D.O.T. and non-D.O.T. drug screens and all collectors are certified. Specimens are shipped by either FedEx, DHL or picked up by our Quest courier service depending on the drug testing lab used by the company.
