1. HBV DNA VIRAL LOAD
The HBV DNA Viral Load Test measures the amount of Hepatitis B virus DNA in the blood, indicating the level of viral replication and infection severity.
The test is used to confirm active Hepatitis B infection, assess disease severity, monitor treatment response, and guide treatment decisions.
No special preparation is needed. You can eat and drink normally. Inform your healthcare provider about any medications or recent health issues.
Results are usually available within 2 to 4 days after the test.
A high viral load indicates a higher quantity of Hepatitis B virus in the blood, suggesting more active infection and potentially greater disease severity.
2. 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.
3. Imaging and Interventional Radiology
Imaging and Interventional Radiology involves diagnostic imaging techniques and minimally invasive procedures guided by imaging technology to diagnose and treat various conditions.
Procedures include biopsies, catheter placements, embolizations, and other techniques to treat conditions such as tumors, blockages, and internal bleeding.
These procedures use imaging techniques such as X-rays, CT scans, or ultrasound to guide the placement of instruments and perform interventions with precision.
Most procedures are performed under local anesthesia or sedation to minimize discomfort. Patients may experience some soreness or mild pain afterward.
Preparation varies by procedure. It may include fasting, avoiding certain medications, or specific instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
