The Sputum C/S Test identifies microorganisms causing respiratory infections and determines their sensitivity to antibiotics.

A sputum sample is collected by coughing up mucus from the lungs, usually in the morning for the best results.

No special preparation is needed, but it is important to follow hygiene practices and inform your healthcare provider of any recent treatments.

Results are generally available within 3 to 5 days, depending on the growth rate of the microorganisms and the complexity of the infection.

Discuss the results with your healthcare provider to determine alternative treatment options based on the sensitivity profile of the identified microorganisms.

High CPK levels can indicate muscle or tissue damage, such as from a heart attack, muscle disease, or brain injury.

No, fasting is generally not required for the CPK Total Test.

Intense exercise or physical activity shortly before the test may temporarily elevate CPK levels.

The frequency of testing depends on the condition being monitored and your healthcare provider’s recommendations.

Abnormal CPK Total Test results may require further evaluation to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
