1. 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.
2. S.CALCIUM
The test measures the total amount of calcium in your blood, including both free (ionized) calcium and calcium bound to proteins.
It provides crucial information about calcium levels, helping diagnose and manage conditions like osteoporosis, kidney disease, parathyroid disorders, and certain cancers.
Generally, fasting is not required. However, it’s important to inform your healthcare provider about any medications or supplements you’re taking, as these can affect the test results.
Results are typically available within a few hours to a day, allowing for prompt medical decision-making based on the calcium levels in your blood.
Abnormal levels can be caused by various factors, including parathyroid gland disorders, kidney disease, certain cancers, and dietary imbalances. Your healthcare provider will interpret the results and provide guidance based on your specific condition.
3. ANTI CCP ANTIBODIES
The test helps diagnose rheumatoid arthritis by detecting specific antibodies associated with the condition.
A blood sample is collected and analyzed to measure the levels of anti-CCP antibodies.
No special preparation is required. You can eat and drink normally before the test.
Results are typically available within a few hours to 24 hours after the sample is processed.
Elevated levels suggest a higher likelihood of rheumatoid arthritis, but further clinical evaluation is needed for a definitive diagnosis.
