1. IONISED CALCIUM
The Ionised Calcium test measures the level of free, biologically active calcium in the blood, which is crucial for various bodily functions.
It provides a more accurate assessment of calcium levels compared to total calcium tests, helping diagnose and manage conditions affecting calcium balance.
No special preparation is usually needed. Inform your healthcare provider about any medications or supplements, and follow any specific instructions given.
Results are typically available within a few hours to 1 day after the blood sample is processed.
The test helps diagnose calcium imbalances, parathyroid disorders, kidney dysfunction, bone health issues, and cancer-related hypercalcemia.
2. CPK TOTAL
High CPK levels can indicate muscle or tissue damage, such as from a heart attack, muscle disease, or brain injury.
No, fasting is generally not required for the CPK Total Test.
Intense exercise or physical activity shortly before the test may temporarily elevate CPK levels.
The frequency of testing depends on the condition being monitored and your healthcare provider’s recommendations.
Abnormal CPK Total Test results may require further evaluation to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
3. How long does recovery take after spinal cord tumor surgery?
