Hepatitis C is a viral infection that primarily affects the liver and can cause both acute and chronic disease.

2. ICU Bedside Dialysis Services
ICU Bedside Dialysis is a service provided in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for patients with kidney failure who require dialysis while remaining in the ICU for critical care.
Patients may need bedside dialysis if they have acute kidney injury or chronic kidney disease that requires dialysis while they are critically ill or unstable.
Bedside dialysis is performed using specialized equipment and techniques to remove waste products and excess fluids from the blood while the patient remains in the ICU.
Bedside dialysis allows for continuous monitoring and treatment of critically ill patients without needing to transport them to a separate dialysis unit, which can be safer and more convenient.
Risks include infection, bleeding, and complications related to the dialysis procedure. The ICU team closely monitors patients to manage and minimize these risks.
3. S. ALBUMIN
A low serum albumin level may suggest liver disease, kidney disease, malnutrition, or chronic inflammatory conditions.
Yes, certain medications and supplements can influence serum albumin levels. It’s important to inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking.
No, fasting is generally not required for this test unless specified by your healthcare provider.
The frequency of testing depends on your health condition. Your healthcare provider will recommend the appropriate schedule for monitoring.
Abnormal levels may indicate underlying health issues. Further evaluation and treatment may be needed based on your test results.
