What is Biochemistry?

Biochemistry, often referred to as clinical chemistry, involves analyzing the chemical components of your blood. While dermatologists primarily treat the surface of your skin, they must often look at internal health markers like liver function, kidney health, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels.
At Kigali Dermatology Center, we utilize biochemistry testing to identify underlying metabolic conditions that may be triggering skin problems. It is also a vital step to establish a safe health baseline before starting certain specialized, systemic medications.

How does Biochemistry work?

If your dermatologist determines that a deeper look at your internal health is necessary, a routine blood sample is carefully drawn. This sample is sent to a specialized medical laboratory where technicians measure specific enzymes, proteins, and metabolic markers. Once your precise results are ready, our board-certified dermatologists will review them with you in detail.

This crucial information allows our medical team to safely prescribe powerful medications, monitor your progress, or adjust your treatment plan to address the true root causes of your skin concerns.

Need a comprehensive approach to your skin health?

I visited late on a Saturday and while I was referred through someone to Dr Kayatesi, Dr Fatima was great. I was in within 30 min and she prescribed me quickly what I needed to be on my way. The front desk and nurse was also professional, the place was clean and easy to get.
