1. DENGUE NS1
A positive result indicates the presence of Dengue virus NS1 antigen, suggesting acute Dengue infection.
No, the Dengue NS1 test specifically detects Dengue virus NS1 antigen and is not useful for diagnosing other viral infections.
No, the Dengue NS1 test does not differentiate between different Dengue virus serotypes. Additional tests may be required for serotype identification.
The Dengue NS1 test can detect infection within the first 1 to 7 days of symptom onset, when NS1 antigen levels are typically high.
Consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation, as additional tests or clinical assessment may be necessary.
2. APTT Test
The APPT (Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time) test measures the time it takes for blood to clot, evaluating the functionality of clotting factors in the blood.
It is crucial for diagnosing bleeding disorders, monitoring anticoagulant therapy, and assessing clotting function before surgery.
No special preparation is usually needed. Inform your healthcare provider about any medications or supplements you are taking.
Results are generally available within a few hours to 1 day after the test.
The test helps diagnose bleeding disorders such as hemophilia, monitor anticoagulant therapy, and assess clotting function for surgical evaluation.
3. Hospice care in Mumbai
Hospice care is a type of care designed to provide comfort and support to patients with terminal illnesses, focusing on quality of life rather than curative treatments.
Patients diagnosed with a terminal illness and a life expectancy of six months or less, as determined by a physician, are eligible for hospice care.
Hospice care services include pain and symptom management, emotional and spiritual support, assistance with daily activities, and support for family members.
While both hospice and palliative care focus on comfort and quality of life, hospice care is specifically for patients nearing the end of life, whereas palliative care can be provided at any stage of a serious illness.
The hospice care team typically includes doctors, nurses, social workers, chaplains, home health aides, and trained volunteers.
