1. ANTI DS DNA

No special preparation is needed. You can eat and drink normally. Inform your healthcare provider about any medications or health conditions.
Results are typically available within 1 to 2 days after the test.
A positive result suggests the presence of antibodies associated with autoimmune activity, particularly in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). Further evaluation is often required to confirm the diagnosis and assess disease activity.
2. MAMMOGRAPHY
Mammography is used to detect and diagnose breast cancer and other breast conditions by creating detailed images of the breast tissue.
Wear a two-piece outfit, avoid applying deodorant or powder, and inform the technologist about any implants or concerns.
The mammography test itself takes about 15 to 30 minutes.
Results are usually available within a few days. The radiologist reviews the images and sends the report to your healthcare provider.
Yes, mammography uses low-dose X-rays, which are considered safe. The benefits of early cancer detection far outweigh the minimal risks associated with the radiation exposure.
3. ECG
An Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a test that measures the electrical activity of the heart to identify heart rhythm issues, heart attacks, and other cardiac conditions.
No special preparation is usually required. You may be asked to remove any metal objects or wear a hospital gown for ease of access to the chest area.
You can eat and drink normally before the test. However, avoid consuming large amounts of caffeine or alcohol as they might affect the results.
ECGs are very safe and non-invasive. There are no known risks or side effects associated with the test.
In most cases, you can continue taking your medications as prescribed. However, inform your healthcare provider about any medications you are taking.
