1. Can the Blood Group Test detect diseases?
No, the Blood Group Test does not detect diseases. It only determines your blood type and Rh factor.
2. 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.
3. IONISED CALCIUM
The Ionised Calcium test measures the level of free, biologically active calcium in the blood, which is crucial for various bodily functions.
It provides a more accurate assessment of calcium levels compared to total calcium tests, helping diagnose and manage conditions affecting calcium balance.
No special preparation is usually needed. Inform your healthcare provider about any medications or supplements, and follow any specific instructions given.
Results are typically available within a few hours to 1 day after the blood sample is processed.
The test helps diagnose calcium imbalances, parathyroid disorders, kidney dysfunction, bone health issues, and cancer-related hypercalcemia.
