1. HCV RNA
The HCV RNA Test detects and measures the presence of Hepatitis C virus RNA in the blood, indicating an active infection and viral load.
The test is used to confirm Hepatitis C infection, assess viral load, evaluate treatment response, and check for relapse.
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 1 to 3 days after the test.
A high viral load indicates a higher quantity of Hepatitis C virus in the blood, suggesting more active infection and potentially more severe disease.
2. CORTISOL
The Cortisol Test measures cortisol levels in the blood to assess adrenal gland function and diagnose conditions related to hormone imbalances and stress.
No fasting is required, but follow specific timing instructions provided by your healthcare provider. Inform them about any medications you are taking.
Cortisol levels typically vary throughout the day. Morning levels are usually highest, so the test is often scheduled in the morning.
Abnormal cortisol levels can indicate conditions such as Cushing’s syndrome, Addison’s disease, or other adrenal disorders. Further evaluation may be needed.
Results are generally available within 24 to 48 hours after the blood sample is collected, allowing for prompt review and diagnosis.
3. HBSAG SPOT
Hepatitis B is a viral infection that attacks the liver and can cause both acute and chronic disease.
Anyone at risk of hepatitis B exposure or needing routine screening should undergo this test. This includes individuals with potential exposure through sexual contact, blood transfusions, or needle-sharing.
Yes, the HBSAg Spot Test is highly accurate in detecting hepatitis B surface antigen. However, a positive result requires confirmation through additional tests.
No, additional tests are needed to differentiate between acute and chronic hepatitis B infection.
A positive result indicates possible hepatitis B infection. Further confirmatory tests and counseling will be provided to determine the next steps for treatment and care.
