No, this test specifically detects bacteria, parasites, and fungi. Viral infections require different diagnostic tests.
2. Kidney Disease Specialist
Chronic kidney disease is a long-term condition where the kidneys gradually lose function over time, leading to waste buildup in the body.
Common causes include diabetes, high blood pressure, glomerulonephritis, polycystic kidney disease, and recurrent kidney infections.
Symptoms may include fatigue, swelling in ankles and feet, nausea, shortness of breath, confusion, and decreased urine output.
Diagnosis is made through blood tests, urine tests, imaging studies, and sometimes a kidney biopsy to assess kidney function and damage.
Treatments include medications to manage symptoms, lifestyle changes, dialysis, and in severe cases, kidney transplantation.
3. PSA TOTAL
The PSA Total Test measures the level of prostate-specific antigen in the blood, helping to screen for prostate cancer, monitor existing conditions, and evaluate treatment effectiveness.
Avoid vigorous activities and sexual activity for 48 hours before the test. Inform your doctor about any medications you are taking. No fasting is required.
Elevated PSA levels may suggest prostate inflammation, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or prostate cancer. Further tests may be required for a definitive diagnosis.
Results are typically available within 24 to 48 hours after the blood sample is collected.
Discuss the results with your healthcare provider to determine the next steps, which may include additional tests or a referral to a specialist for further evaluation.
