1. SPUTUM R/M

The Sputum R/M Test is used to analyze sputum samples for abnormal cells, bacteria, or pathogens to diagnose respiratory conditions.

Provide a sputum sample early in the morning using a sterile container. Follow any specific instructions from your healthcare provider.

Results are typically available within 1 to 3 days after the sample is analyzed in the laboratory.

It helps diagnose respiratory infections, monitor lung conditions, and evaluate the effectiveness of treatments.

2. TB GOLD

The TB GOLD Test is an advanced diagnostic tool that uses an interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) to detect latent tuberculosis infection.

Unlike the tuberculin skin test (TST), the TB GOLD Test does not require a return visit for reading and provides more accurate results by measuring the immune response to TB-specific antigens.

No special preparation is required. You can eat and drink normally before the test, but inform your healthcare provider about any medications or recent illnesses.

Results are typically available within 2 to 7 days after the sample is analyzed in the laboratory.

The TB GOLD Test helps accurately diagnose latent TB infection, which is crucial for preventing the progression to active TB and ensuring appropriate treatment and management.

3. HBV DNA VIRAL LOAD

The HBV DNA Viral Load Test measures the amount of Hepatitis B virus DNA in the blood, indicating the level of viral replication and infection severity.

The test is used to confirm active Hepatitis B infection, assess disease severity, monitor treatment response, and guide treatment decisions.

No special preparation is needed. You can eat and drink normally. Inform your healthcare provider about any medications or recent health issues.

Results are usually available within 2 to 4 days after the test.

A high viral load indicates a higher quantity of Hepatitis B virus in the blood, suggesting more active infection and potentially greater disease severity.
