1. 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.
2. DENGUE IGM
A positive result indicates recent or current infection with the Dengue virus.
No, additional tests, such as Dengue NS1 antigen test or PCR, may be required to identify the specific serotype.
No, the Dengue IgM test is designed to detect recent or current infections during the acute phase.
Dengue IgM antibodies are typically detectable in the bloodstream for up to 3 months after infection.
A negative result suggests no detectable Dengue IgM antibodies. If symptoms persist or there is recent exposure, consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
