Abnormal ALP levels may indicate underlying health issues. Further evaluation and treatment may be necessary based on your test results.
2. Neurology
Neurology is the branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of nervous system disorders, including the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves.
Neurologists treat conditions such as stroke, epilepsy, migraines, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and other neurological disorders.
You should see a neurologist if you experience symptoms such as severe headaches, chronic pain, dizziness, numbness, tingling, muscle weakness, or problems with coordination or memory.
Neurologists use tests such as MRI, CT scans, EEG, EMG, nerve conduction studies, lumbar punctures, and blood tests to diagnose neurological conditions.
Neurologists diagnose and treat neurological disorders with medication and other non-surgical methods, while neurosurgeons perform surgical procedures on the brain, spine, and nerves.
3. PROTEIN C
Protein C is a protein that helps regulate blood clotting by deactivating certain clotting factors and promoting clot breakdown. Its proper function is crucial for preventing excessive clotting and related disorders.
A blood sample is collected from a vein in your arm. The sample is then analyzed to measure Protein C activity and antigen levels.
No special preparation or fasting is required before the test. You can eat and drink normally.
Results are typically available within a few hours to 1-2 days, depending on the laboratory’s processing time.
If your results are abnormal, your healthcare provider will discuss them with you and may recommend further testing or adjustments to your treatment plan based on your specific condition.
