- Daily quality control: internal quality checks run alongside patient samples on every analyser.
- External quality assessment: results are compared with other laboratories through proficiency testing programmes.
- Pathologist review: qualified pathologists review reports before release.
- Standardised methods: for example, HPLC for HbA1c, the test used in diabetes diagnosis and control.
- Verifiable: Unipath's accreditation can be checked on the NABL portal.

Common Symptoms: Where Testing Starts
Many people come to Unipath with a symptom rather than a test name. For tiredness, fever, weight change, hair fall, frequent urination or joint pain, testing usually starts with a blood count and a few targeted tests, then moves to specialist tests only if needed. A doctor decides which tests are right.
| Symptom | Where testing usually starts | If more is needed |
|---|---|---|
| Tiredness, weakness | Blood count, iron, vitamin B12 and D, thyroid, sugar | Hematopathology review, hormone tests |
| Fever lasting more than two days | Blood count; dengue, malaria and typhoid tests; urine test | Cultures and antibiotic sensitivity |
| Unexplained weight gain or loss | Thyroid, sugar, HbA1c, cholesterol | Hormone tests; further workup by the doctor |
| Hair fall | Blood count, ferritin, thyroid, vitamin D | Hormone tests in women |
| Frequent urination, constant thirst | Fasting sugar, HbA1c, urine test, creatinine | Kidney microalbumin |
| Joint pain and swelling | Uric acid, RA factor, CRP | Autoimmune antibody tests |
| Easy bruising or bleeding | Blood count, clotting tests | Bone marrow and flow cytometry if advised |
| A lump in the neck, breast or elsewhere | Doctor's examination | FNAC or biopsy with histopathology and IHC |
