1. Why is an AV fistula preferred over other dialysis access methods?
AV fistulas are preferred because they last longer, have a lower risk of infection, and provide better blood flow for dialysis.
2. DENGUE NS1
A positive result indicates the presence of Dengue virus NS1 antigen, suggesting acute Dengue infection.
No, the Dengue NS1 test specifically detects Dengue virus NS1 antigen and is not useful for diagnosing other viral infections.
No, the Dengue NS1 test does not differentiate between different Dengue virus serotypes. Additional tests may be required for serotype identification.
The Dengue NS1 test can detect infection within the first 1 to 7 days of symptom onset, when NS1 antigen levels are typically high.
Consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation, as additional tests or clinical assessment may be necessary.
3. SPUTUM C/S
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.
