Clinical biology lab

In the clinical laboratory, analyses are performed on blood, urine, stool or other body materials. These analyses are performed for admitted patients, patients from other hospitals or patients referred by their general practitioner. For special analyses, we cooperate with external Belgian or foreign laboratories that are experts in their field.

What can we help you with?

The lab performs studies in several areas: hematology, clinical chemistry/immunochemistry, microbiology and molecular biology. These examinations help detect diseases, make diagnoses, estimate prognoses and follow up treatments. A specialized team is on hand to perform the examinations according to the latest guidelines and technologies.

Who is on our team?

The scientific team of the clinical laboratory consists of clinical biologists, a scientific assistant, a chief laboratory technologist and medical laboratory technologists (lab technicians).

Our clinical biologists are all conventionally trained and ensure the quality of the tests performed. They are responsible for diagnosing a possible disease and help to find an appropriate treatment.

You can count on our team for advice on sample collection, sample transport, interpretation of results, antibiotics, action of medications, etc.

Where can you find the clinical lab?

For each visit to the lab, you must register at the kiosks in the entrance hall of the hospital. Here you will be given your specific route number. Then follow the signage trough the hospital.

Information about your research?

What do I bring to the clinical lab for consultation?

your identity card
the name of your general practitioner
an insurance card or payment agreement from a hospitalization insurance company (if applicable)
a payment commitment from the OCMW (Social Welfare) or other agency that intervenes in the hospital bill (if applicable)

Where do I find my results from my examinations done by the lab?

For ethical and privacy reasons, the lab will not discuss or communicate results to the patient or family. Your doctorwill receive the result in writing, by phone or electronically and discuss the results with you.

As patient, you can therefore request the lab result from your doctor.

For standard tests, the result is usually available within a few hours, but for some tests, it takes several days to several weeks before the result is known. Emergency tests are prior at any time of the day. We strive to make results available within the hour in acute situations.

Results of analyses that require immediate attention of the attending doctor are reported to the doctor by telephone.

Recognition/quality labels of our clinical biology lab

The laboratory has WIV recognition (recognition number 71620) as required by Belgian legislation. As a result, the patient benefits from a reimbursement of the analyses by Social Security.
To ensure and further optimize the quality of services, the laboratory has a coherent and operational quality system in accordance with the WIV's practice guideline.
