What is a Clinical Laboratory service?
At the Escano Clinical Laboratory we process and manage a wide variety of tests that allow patients and medical staff to know their health status; In addition, we are committed to the rapid notification of results that, due to the impact on the health of our patients, require immediate action since our mission is to contribute to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases in a timely manner.

Our packages were designed to evaluate the bodily functions that contribute to maintaining comprehensive health. We all have different needs that vary depending on age, sex and previous health conditions. That is why we offer different options that can be adapted to each particular case and used as diagnostic aid or control of existing pathologies.
- Hepatic
Through blood samples, we can perform reliable measurements of liver enzymes, bilirubin and coagulation times that help us evaluate liver function.
- Thyroid
Through blood samples we can detect levels of thyroid hormones and thus identify their different alterations.
- Renal
Through blood and urine samples, we can perform a reliable measurement of creatinine, nitrogen, presence of proteins, bacteria and other factors that may affect kidney function.
- Diabetes
Through blood and urine samples, we can detect increases or decreases in blood sugar levels used for diagnosis or control of diabetes mellitus.
- Osseous
Through blood samples we can detect levels of calcium, vitamin D, thyroid hormone and other components necessary to maintain our bone health.
In addition, at Escano we perform Bone Densitometry, a study used to measure bone density and therefore to diagnose osteoporosis.
- Preoperative
Through blood and urine samples, we can identify alterations in the body that may affect you during a surgical procedure, including heart conditions through an Electrocardiogram.
- Hypertension
Through blood and urine samples, we can detect and monitor high blood pressure, which occurs when the force of blood against the artery walls is excessive. This package is important because hypertension often does not present obvious symptoms, however, it can cause long-term health problems.

Through blood and urine samples, we can validate the preexistence or active status of sexually transmitted diseases, seeking to contribute to well-being and improve people's quality of life, considering prevention as a vital part of maintaining healthy relationships.
