2. XRay
An X-Ray is a diagnostic imaging test that uses electromagnetic radiation to create images of the inside of the body. It helps in diagnosing fractures, infections, and other abnormalities.
Preparation depends on the type of X-Ray. Generally, you may need to remove clothing or metal objects from the area being imaged. Follow specific instructions given by your healthcare provider.
The X-Ray procedure is usually quick, taking only a few minutes. The actual imaging process typically lasts less than 15 minutes.
Results are not usually provided immediately. A radiologist will review the images and send a report to your healthcare provider, which may take a few days.
Yes, most medications can be continued as usual. However, inform your healthcare provider about any medications you are taking, especially if you are pregnant.
3. G6PD
G6PD deficiency is a genetic disorder that affects the red blood cells, making them more vulnerable to breaking down prematurely.
Symptoms such as fatigue, jaundice, dark urine, or a family history of G6PD deficiency may indicate the need for this test.
The G6PD test is a simple blood test with minimal risks, similar to any standard blood draw.
Management includes avoiding triggers such as certain medications, foods, and infections that can cause hemolysis.
Early detection in newborns can prevent severe jaundice and related complications by guiding appropriate care and dietary adjustments.
