The test measures the concentration of phosphorus in your blood, which is essential for bone health, energy production, and cell function.

It helps diagnose and monitor conditions like osteoporosis, kidney disease, parathyroid disorders, and metabolic imbalances affecting phosphorus levels.

Generally, fasting is not required. However, inform your healthcare provider about any medications or supplements you’re taking, as they can affect test results.

Results are typically available within a few hours to a day, allowing for timely medical decisions based on phosphorus levels in your blood.

Abnormal levels can be caused by kidney disease, parathyroid disorders, vitamin D deficiency, certain medications, or metabolic disorders. Your healthcare provider will interpret results based on your specific condition.

Common side effects include a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and mild discomfort. These symptoms are generally manageable with pain medication and a soft diet.

HB Electrophoresis is a diagnostic test that separates and identifies different types of hemoglobin in the blood to diagnose hemoglobin disorders.

This test is used to diagnose conditions like sickle cell disease and thalassemia, monitor disease progression, and screen for hemoglobin disorders.

No special preparation is needed. You can eat and drink normally, but inform your healthcare provider about any medications or health conditions.

Results are typically available within 2 to 3 days after the test.

The results provide information on the different types of hemoglobin present and their quantities, helping to diagnose and manage hemoglobin disorders and genetic conditions.
