1. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring is a method of measuring blood pressure at regular intervals over a 24-hour period, typically using a portable device.
ABPM provides a more comprehensive assessment of blood pressure throughout daily activities and sleep, offering insights into variations that may not be detected in clinic settings.
ABPM is recommended for patients suspected of having white coat hypertension, masked hypertension, resistant hypertension, or fluctuating blood pressure patterns.
The patient wears a small cuff attached to a portable monitor that automatically inflates and records blood pressure at regular intervals, usually every 15-30 minutes during waking hours and less frequently during sleep.
Most patients find ABPM comfortable, as the device is lightweight and designed for minimal disruption to daily activities. The cuff may inflate periodically but does not cause pain.
2. BUN / UREA
It helps assess kidney function and diagnose conditions like kidney disease and dehydration.
Typically, fasting is not necessary, but inform your healthcare provider about any medications or supplements.
It provides crucial information about kidney health, aiding in diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of kidney-related conditions.
Results are usually available within a day, allowing for timely medical decisions based on kidney function assessment.
3. PUS C/S
Pus samples are collected using sterile techniques and cultured to identify the specific microorganisms causing the infection.
Results typically take a few days to allow for culture growth and sensitivity testing. Rapid methods may provide preliminary results sooner.
A positive result indicates the presence of bacteria or fungi in the pus sample, helping to diagnose and treat localized infections effectively.
Yes, the test identifies the specific microorganism causing the infection and determines its susceptibility to antibiotics or antifungal medications.
Minimal risks include slight discomfort during sample collection and rarely, infection at the puncture site. Sterile techniques minimize these risks.
