1. MALARIA ANTIGEN

Yes, RDTs are generally reliable for detecting malaria antigens, with high specificity and sensitivity when performed correctly.

The test involves a simple blood draw with minimal risks, such as minor bruising at the puncture site.

2. ANTI PHOSPHO LIPID

The Anti-Phospholipid Antibody Test detects antibodies against phospholipids, helping diagnose antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and assess the risk of blood clots.

A blood sample is collected from a vein in your arm and analyzed for the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies.

No fasting or special preparation is required. You can eat and drink normally before the test.

Results are usually available within 1-2 days, depending on the laboratory’s processing time.

Discuss any abnormal results with your healthcare provider, who will guide you on further tests or treatment options based on your specific condition.

3. PFT

A PFT is a series of tests used to measure lung function, including air flow, lung volume, and gas exchange, to diagnose and monitor respiratory conditions.

Avoid smoking and heavy meals before the test, inform your healthcare provider about any medications, and wear comfortable clothing.

Key parameters include Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), Forced Expiratory Volume (FEV1), Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF), Residual Volume (RV), and Diffusing Capacity (DLCO).
