1. ELECTROLYTES
The ELECTROLYTES Test helps diagnose and monitor conditions such as dehydration, kidney diseases, and metabolic disorders by assessing essential mineral levels.
No special preparation is typically needed, but inform your healthcare provider about any medications or supplements you are taking.
Abnormal electrolyte levels can indicate dehydration, kidney disorders, heart conditions, diabetes complications, or metabolic imbalances.
Results are usually available within a few hours to a day after the blood sample is collected.
The ELECTROLYTES Test at Chirayu SuperSpeciality Hospital is priced at ₹550.
2. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring is a method of measuring blood pressure at regular intervals over a 24-hour period, typically using a portable device.
ABPM provides a more comprehensive assessment of blood pressure throughout daily activities and sleep, offering insights into variations that may not be detected in clinic settings.
ABPM is recommended for patients suspected of having white coat hypertension, masked hypertension, resistant hypertension, or fluctuating blood pressure patterns.
The patient wears a small cuff attached to a portable monitor that automatically inflates and records blood pressure at regular intervals, usually every 15-30 minutes during waking hours and less frequently during sleep.
Most patients find ABPM comfortable, as the device is lightweight and designed for minimal disruption to daily activities. The cuff may inflate periodically but does not cause pain.
3. ANTI CARDIO LIPID
The Anti-Cardiolipin Antibody Test detects antibodies against cardiolipin, aiding in the diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and evaluating the risk of blood clots.
A blood sample is collected from your arm and analyzed for the presence of anti-cardiolipin antibodies.
No special preparation or fasting is required. You can eat and drink normally before the test.
Results are typically available within 1-2 days, depending on the laboratory’s processing time.
Discuss any abnormal results with your healthcare provider for guidance on further tests or treatment options based on your specific condition.
