It is a test that detects antibodies against the Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) to assess immunity to Hepatitis B.

It is recommended after Hepatitis B vaccination, recovery from Hepatitis B, or as part of routine screening.

No special preparation is required. Inform your healthcare provider of any recent vaccinations or Hepatitis B history.

Results are usually available within 24 to 48 hours after the blood sample is collected.

Positive results indicate immunity to Hepatitis B, while negative results may suggest the need for further evaluation or vaccination.

Follow specific instructions provided by your healthcare provider. Use a sterile container and collect a fresh sample.

The test can identify most bacterial, viral, and parasitic infections causing gastrointestinal symptoms.

Blood in the stool may indicate gastrointestinal bleeding, which requires further evaluation to determine the cause.

Results are typically available within 2 to 3 days after sample submission.

Your healthcare provider may recommend specific dietary modifications or restrictions before sample collection.

The Iron Studies Test measures various aspects of iron metabolism, including serum iron, ferritin, transferrin, and TIBC.

It helps diagnose and monitor iron-related conditions such as anemia and hemochromatosis, providing crucial insights into your iron status.

Patients are typically advised to fast for 8-12 hours before the test and inform their healthcare provider about any medications or supplements they are taking.

Low iron levels suggest iron deficiency, while high levels can indicate iron overload, chronic inflammation, or other underlying conditions.

The frequency of testing depends on individual health conditions and risk factors. Consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
