NRL for Clinical Chemistry is which institute?

• A. Lung Center of the Philippines
• B. National Kidney Transplant Institute
• C. Philippine General Hospital
• D. Philippine Children's Medical Center

Answer: (A)

National Reference Laboratory for Clinical Chemistry is the central facility responsible for standardizing clinical chemistry tests, validating assays, and providing reference testing and external quality assessment to laboratories nationwide. The Lung Center of the Philippines is designated as this NRL because it has the robust laboratory infrastructure and experienced clinical chemistry team needed to support a national reference role within the government hospital network. The other centers listed have important specialized missions—nephrology and transplantation, general tertiary care, and pediatric care—but they are not the designated national reference laboratory for clinical chemistry.
