1. ANTI DS DNA

The Anti-dsDNA Antibody Test detects antibodies against double-stranded DNA, which are commonly associated with autoimmune diseases like Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE).

This test is used to diagnose SLE, monitor disease activity, assess treatment response, and differentiate between autoimmune diseases.

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

Results are typically available within 1 to 2 days after the test.

A positive result suggests the presence of antibodies associated with autoimmune activity, particularly in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). Further evaluation is often required to confirm the diagnosis and assess disease activity.

2. FERRITIN

The Ferritin Test measures the amount of ferritin in your blood, indicating your body’s total iron stores.

It helps diagnose and monitor iron-related conditions like anemia and iron overload disorders, providing crucial insights into your iron metabolism.

A simple blood sample is collected and analyzed to determine ferritin levels, usually requiring no special preparation.

Low levels suggest iron deficiency, while high levels can indicate iron overload, chronic inflammation, or liver disease.

Frequency depends on individual health conditions and risk factors. Consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.

3. What type of anesthesia is used for tonsillectomy?
