The BT CT Test measures bleeding time and clotting time to assess the blood’s clotting ability.

No, fasting is not required. You can eat and drink normally before the test.

A healthcare provider makes a small incision on your skin to measure bleeding time and tests how long it takes for your blood to clot in a tube.

The BT CT Test helps diagnose bleeding disorders like haemophilia and clotting disorders such as thrombocytopenia.

The BT CT Test involves minimal risks, such as minor bleeding or bruising at the site of the incision.

Chronic kidney disease is a long-term condition where the kidneys gradually lose function over time, leading to waste buildup in the body.

Common causes include diabetes, high blood pressure, glomerulonephritis, polycystic kidney disease, and recurrent kidney infections.

Symptoms may include fatigue, swelling in ankles and feet, nausea, shortness of breath, confusion, and decreased urine output.

Diagnosis is made through blood tests, urine tests, imaging studies, and sometimes a kidney biopsy to assess kidney function and damage.

Treatments include medications to manage symptoms, lifestyle changes, dialysis, and in severe cases, kidney transplantation.

Preparation involves consultations with your surgical team, understanding your surgical options, and possibly undergoing pre-surgery tests.
