1. HBSAG ( ELISA )
HBsAg is a surface antigen of the hepatitis B virus, detected in the blood during HBV infection.
Individuals at risk of HBV infection or needing routine screening should undergo this test.
No, the test involves a simple blood draw, which may cause slight discomfort but is generally well-tolerated.
A positive result indicates the presence of HBV infection.
No, additional tests may be required to distinguish between acute and chronic infection.
2. Continuous renal replacement therapy
CRRT is a medical therapy used in intensive care units to manage patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) or severe kidney dysfunction. It involves the continuous removal of waste products and excess fluids from the blood.
CRRT is used when a patient’s kidneys are unable to adequately filter waste and excess fluids from the blood, leading to dangerous levels of toxins and fluid overload.
CRRT differs from hemodialysis in that it is slower and performed continuously over 24 hours or longer periods. Hemodialysis, on the other hand, is intermittent and typically lasts for a few hours.
Yes, CRRT can be used cautiously in patients with heart failure to manage fluid overload and electrolyte imbalances, with careful monitoring of hemodynamic status.
CRRT provides gentler and more gradual fluid and solute removal, making it suitable for hemodynamically unstable patients who cannot tolerate the rapid changes associated with conventional hemodialysis.
3. STRESS TEST
A Stress Test evaluates the heart’s response to physical exertion or medication, helping diagnose heart disease and assess heart function.
Wear comfortable clothing and appropriate exercise footwear, avoid heavy meals before the test, and inform your healthcare provider about any medications.
You will exercise on a treadmill or bike while your heart rate, blood pressure, and ECG are monitored. If you are unable to exercise, medication may be used to simulate exercise.
The test is generally safe, but it may cause temporary symptoms such as dizziness or shortness of breath. Inform your healthcare provider of any concerns before the test.
Results are usually available within a day or two. A preliminary assessment may be provided immediately after the test, with a detailed report following shortly.
