What is
Clinical Chemistry

Clinical chemistry is the branch of laboratory medicine that analyzes body fluids to assess organ function, detect imbalances, and monitor treatment. In oncology, it plays a central role in diagnosing complications, evaluating overall health before starting therapy, and tracking how the body responds to cancer treatment.

At Apollo Athenaa, clinical chemistry testing is seamlessly integrated into the patient care pathway. Whether preparing for surgery, undergoing chemotherapy, or navigating survivorship, our specialists rely on timely and accurate blood chemistry results to make informed, personalized decisions.

How It
Works

At Apollo Athenaa, clinical chemistry offers precision to provide accurate diagnoses and guide personalized treatment plans.

A blood sample is collected and sent to our in-house clinical chemistry lab.
Automated analyzers measure various biochemical markers in the blood, including electrolytes, enzymes, proteins, lipids, hormones, and metabolites.
The results are interpreted alongside imaging, pathology, and clinical findings to provide a complete picture of a patient’s health.
Tests may be repeated at different points during treatment to detect changes or side effects early.
