1. IRON STUDIES
The Iron Studies Test measures various aspects of iron metabolism, including serum iron, ferritin, transferrin, and TIBC.
It helps diagnose and monitor iron-related conditions such as anemia and hemochromatosis, providing crucial insights into your iron status.
Patients are typically advised to fast for 8-12 hours before the test and inform their healthcare provider about any medications or supplements they are taking.
Low iron levels suggest iron deficiency, while high levels can indicate iron overload, chronic inflammation, or other underlying conditions.
The frequency of testing depends on individual health conditions and risk factors. Consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
2. EECP Center Mumbai
Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP) therapy is a non-invasive treatment that helps improve blood flow to the heart and relieve symptoms of angina and heart failure.
EECP therapy uses inflatable cuffs wrapped around the legs to compress and decompress the blood vessels, promoting increased blood flow to the heart during the relaxation phase of the heartbeat.
Patients with chronic stable angina, heart failure, or those who are not suitable candidates for invasive procedures like angioplasty or bypass surgery may benefit from EECP therapy.
EECP therapy can help reduce angina symptoms, improve exercise tolerance, enhance the quality of life, and decrease the need for medication in some patients.
Each EECP session typically lasts about one hour and is usually conducted five days a week for a total of seven weeks.
3. 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.
