1. ICU Bedside Dialysis Services
ICU Bedside Dialysis is a service provided in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for patients with kidney failure who require dialysis while remaining in the ICU for critical care.
Patients may need bedside dialysis if they have acute kidney injury or chronic kidney disease that requires dialysis while they are critically ill or unstable.
Bedside dialysis is performed using specialized equipment and techniques to remove waste products and excess fluids from the blood while the patient remains in the ICU.
Bedside dialysis allows for continuous monitoring and treatment of critically ill patients without needing to transport them to a separate dialysis unit, which can be safer and more convenient.
Risks include infection, bleeding, and complications related to the dialysis procedure. The ICU team closely monitors patients to manage and minimize these risks.
2. SPIROMETRY
Spirometry is a lung function test that measures how much air you can inhale and exhale, and how quickly you can do it.
Wear loose clothing, avoid heavy meals or intense exercise before the test, and follow any specific instructions from your doctor.
No, spirometry is non-invasive and painless. You will be asked to breathe into a device, which may feel slightly uncomfortable but is not painful.
The test itself takes about 15-30 minutes. Results are usually available immediately or within a few hours.
The frequency depends on your health conditions and doctor’s recommendations. It may be performed regularly for ongoing monitoring or as needed for diagnosis.
3. ANCA / PANCA
The ANCA / PANCA Test detects antibodies associated with autoimmune diseases, helping in diagnosis and monitoring.
No specific preparation is usually required, but inform your healthcare provider about any medications you are taking.
Results are typically available within a few days, allowing for prompt medical decision-making and disease management.
Elevated levels suggest the presence of an autoimmune disease, such as vasculitis or granulomatosis with polyangiitis.
Yes, the test can help differentiate between types of autoimmune diseases based on the pattern and concentration of antibodies.
