Hematology and Chemistry Laboratory How We Help Our Patients (Chemistry) A patient was admitted to the ED presenting with eyesight trouble and cold blue extremities. Subsequent chemistry results and blood protein analysis contributed to an overall diagnosis of Waldenstrom’s Macroglobulinemia. This disease is a type of cancer that causes an increased amount of a specific protein in the blood. Thanks to the combined work of Chemistry’s main lab and the protein electrophoresis lab, providers were able to deliver the correct diagnosis in time for treatment.

The detection of those abnormal cells helped lead to the diagnosis of a rare genetic disorder that gave providers valuable insights to symptoms that would have otherwise been unexplained. Geoff's careful attention to detail in performing his duties in the Hematology Lab not only solved this medical mystery but gave the family answers and closure. This is only one example of the critical work that we do in our laboratories. (Abnormal Lymphocyte) Yearly Combined Test Number (Chemistry and Hematology Supervisory Staff) 7,714,096
