A MOPH-licensed laboratory at Wellkins Medical Centre, Doha, led by a specialist Anatomical & Clinical Pathologist with 22 years of experience.
Accuracy is not an outcome here, it is a process. Every sample moves through advanced automated instrumentation, strict quality assurance and review by qualified laboratory professionals before a result is released. That process supports everything from everyday blood work to advanced molecular, cardiovascular and cytological diagnostics, all performed in-house.
From routine blood work to specialist cytology, every category of testing sits under one roof, handled by our MOPH-licensed laboratory team.
Hematology tests examine the cells in your blood to detect anemia, infection, clotting problems and many other conditions. A complete blood count is often the first test your doctor orders because it reveals so much about your overall health.
Biochemistry tests measure the chemicals in your blood to assess how your organs are functioning. These are the core tests behind most health checkups, tracking everything from cholesterol to liver enzymes.
Whether you are managing diabetes or screening for it, our diabetes panel gives you and your doctor a clear picture, including HbA1c, which shows your average blood sugar over the past three months.
Hormonal imbalances can affect energy, weight, mood, fertility and much more. Our hormone panels help identify thyroid disorders, reproductive hormone imbalances and adrenal issues.
Vitamin D deficiency is remarkably common in Qatar despite the sunshine, and B12 and iron deficiencies are frequent causes of fatigue and hair loss. A simple blood test tells you exactly where you stand.
Confidential screening for common infections, whether for your own peace of mind, employment requirements or professional licensing. All results are handled with strict privacy.
Our in-house specialist pathologist personally performs and interprets specialist cytology, including Pap smears for cervical screening and fine needle aspiration for lumps and swellings. Having a specialist on site means faster answers and expert interpretation.
Urine and stool tests detect urinary tract infections, kidney problems, digestive conditions and more. Quick to collect, fast to process and often the key to diagnosing everyday health complaints.
Some answers a standard panel simply cannot give you. These are the advanced tests we offer for people who want a deeper, more precise picture of their health. Each one is explained in full, so you know exactly what is being measured and why it matters.
A standard lipid profile measures how much cholesterol you carry. Advanced lipid testing measures the particles carrying it and the genetics behind them, which is often a far better predictor of cardiovascular risk.
Lp(a) is essentially a standard LDL particle carrying an extra, highly sticky, genetically determined protein. Because it is sticky, it traps itself inside artery walls easily, driving up inflammation and significantly increasing your risk of dangerous blood clots.
Unlike regular cholesterol, your Lp(a) level is determined almost entirely by your DNA. Diet, exercise and standard lifestyle changes will not move your baseline number.
ApoA1 is the primary structural backbone protein found on HDL, your "good" cholesterol particles. It actively grabs excess cholesterol from your tissues and blood vessel walls and carries it safely back to the liver to be broken down and excreted.
Beyond moving cholesterol, ApoA1 reduces inflammation inside the lining of your blood vessels and helps your arteries dilate for smoother blood flow. A typical mature HDL particle carries two, three or four ApoA1 proteins wrapped around its outer shell.
ApoB is the primary structural protein found on every potentially harmful, artery-clogging particle in your blood, including LDL, VLDL, IDL, chylomicrons and Lp(a). Each of these particles carries exactly one ApoB molecule, so an ApoB test counts the total number of harmful particles in your bloodstream.
This makes ApoB an unusually accurate indicator of cardiovascular risk, and it is especially useful for people with diabetes, obesity, high triglycerides, metabolic syndrome or a family history of early heart disease. These conditions raise harmful particle counts even when LDL cholesterol looks perfectly normal.
These two tests are often ordered together to evaluate cardiovascular risk. Homocysteine measures an amino acid linked to blood vessel damage, while hs-CRP measures low-grade systemic inflammation. Together they give a fuller picture of heart health than cholesterol alone.
Homocysteine is a naturally occurring amino acid produced when your body breaks down methionine. In a healthy body it is a temporary byproduct, quickly recycled or converted into other essential chemicals with the help of Vitamin B12, Vitamin B6 and folate.
If your body lacks these B vitamins, or cannot process them correctly, homocysteine builds up in the bloodstream, a condition called hyperhomocysteinemia. Excess homocysteine irritates and damages the delicate inner lining of your arteries and promotes blood clotting, restricting healthy blood flow.
C-reactive protein is produced by the liver in response to inflammation. The "high-sensitivity" version of the test detects very low, microscopic levels of inflammation in the coronary arteries that standard tests miss completely.
This low-grade, chronic inflammation is a primary driver behind plaque buildup and hardening of the arteries. You can have perfectly normal cholesterol numbers and still be at high risk for a cardiovascular event if your inflammation is high.
Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology is a minimally invasive diagnostic procedure in which a doctor uses a very thin needle attached to a syringe to extract cells, fluid or tissue from a suspicious lump or organ, commonly newly identified masses in the breast or thyroid, suspicious lymph nodes or skin masses.
The procedure usually takes less than 15 minutes, is done on an outpatient basis and helps you avoid a more invasive surgical biopsy.
If a lump is deep or difficult to feel, the procedure is guided by an ultrasound scan to ensure the needle is placed accurately, so the sample comes from exactly the right spot.
The collected cells are placed on a glass slide, stained and examined under a microscope by our own specialist pathologist. Having a specialist on site means expert interpretation without sending your sample elsewhere.
An allergy test is a blood test that measures your immune system's Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibody levels in response to specific substances. Rather than testing one suspected trigger at a time, our panels screen a broad range of common allergens from a single blood sample, so you find out exactly what you react to.
Evaluates your immune response to proteins found in things you eat. Because food allergens travel through your digestive tract and into your bloodstream, they are far more likely to cause systemic, body-wide reactions, including dangerous drops in blood pressure or throat swelling.
Tests for substances you breathe in, checking for antibodies against airborne allergens commonly encountered in this region. This matters for anyone dealing with persistent sneezing, congestion, itchy eyes or asthma symptoms in Qatar's climate.
The MMR titer is a blood test that measures your levels of Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies to measles, mumps and rubella. It confirms whether you have adequate immune protection, either from a past infection or from vaccination.
This test is frequently requested by employers, especially in healthcare, and by academic institutions. It is particularly useful if you are unsure of your vaccination history, cannot locate your immunization records, or need to verify immunity status before traveling internationally.
CASA is an automated laboratory test used in the evaluation of male fertility. Rather than relying on visual estimation through a microscope, the system uses digital imaging and specialized software to track individual cells and report objective, standardized results.
Traditional manual analysis records only whether cells are moving or static. CASA additionally measures the geometry, speed and path of that movement, which allows subtle findings to be detected that a manual evaluation may not identify. Reported parameters include concentration, motility, morphology and velocity.
The test is conducted with full confidentiality and results are reviewed by our specialist pathologist. It is typically requested by a treating physician as part of a wider fertility assessment.
Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers in women worldwide. Detected early, it is almost entirely preventable. Wellkins offers both screening tests, the liquid-based Pap smear and HPV DNA PCR, and both can be run from a single sample collected in one appointment.
Because the cells collected for a liquid-based Pap smear are suspended in preservative fluid, the very same sample can be used for HPV DNA testing, with no second appointment and no repeat collection. Together they achieve the highest possible sensitivity for catching precancerous changes.
Booked as the Pap Smear + HPV Package at QR 600, which includes both tests and a report review with a gynecologist. Estimated visit time 45 minutes. Sample collection is performed by a gynecologist, so appointments run Saturday to Thursday.
Book Pap Smear + HPV, QR 600Unlike the conventional method where cells are wiped directly onto a glass slide, LBC preserves cells in their natural shape in liquid. The result is clearer, single-layered slides that improve the chances of detecting precancerous or cancerous lesions. Slides are examined by our specialist pathologist on site.
Around 200 HPV types exist and most are harmless, but types 16 and 18 alone cause roughly 70% of cervical cancers and precancerous lesions. Our real-time multiplex PCR test detects the E6/E7 region of the viral genome, identifying high-risk genotypes with laboratory precision. There is also evidence linking HPV to cancers of the anus, penis and oropharynx in sexually active men.
