1. 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.
2. 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.
3. G6PD
G6PD deficiency is a genetic disorder that affects the red blood cells, making them more vulnerable to breaking down prematurely.
Symptoms such as fatigue, jaundice, dark urine, or a family history of G6PD deficiency may indicate the need for this test.
The G6PD test is a simple blood test with minimal risks, similar to any standard blood draw.
Management includes avoiding triggers such as certain medications, foods, and infections that can cause hemolysis.
Early detection in newborns can prevent severe jaundice and related complications by guiding appropriate care and dietary adjustments.
