1. S.PHOSPHOROUS
The test measures the concentration of phosphorus in your blood, which is essential for bone health, energy production, and cell function.
It helps diagnose and monitor conditions like osteoporosis, kidney disease, parathyroid disorders, and metabolic imbalances affecting phosphorus levels.
Generally, fasting is not required. However, inform your healthcare provider about any medications or supplements you’re taking, as they can affect test results.
Results are typically available within a few hours to a day, allowing for timely medical decisions based on phosphorus levels in your blood.
Abnormal levels can be caused by kidney disease, parathyroid disorders, vitamin D deficiency, certain medications, or metabolic disorders. Your healthcare provider will interpret results based on your specific condition.
2. PTT
The PTT Test measures the time it takes for blood to clot, assessing the functionality of various clotting factors.
The PTT Test is necessary to diagnose bleeding or clotting disorders, monitor anticoagulant therapy, and evaluate overall clotting function.
No special preparation, such as fasting, is required for the PTT Test. However, inform your doctor about any medications you are taking.
A blood sample is taken from a vein in your arm and analyzed in a laboratory to measure the clotting time.
PTT Test results are usually available within a few hours to 24 hours, depending on the laboratory’s workload.
3. MALARIA ANTIGEN
The test involves collecting a small blood sample, usually through a finger prick or venous draw, and testing it for malaria antigens.
Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) can detect antigens specific to Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, or both, depending on the test used.
Yes, RDTs are generally reliable for detecting malaria antigens, with high specificity and sensitivity when performed correctly.
Some RDTs can differentiate between P. falciparum and other malaria species, aiding in targeted treatment strategies.
The test involves a simple blood draw with minimal risks, such as minor bruising at the puncture site.
