1. Is adrenalectomy surgery painful?
Some discomfort is expected, but pain is usually manageable with medication. Recovery varies based on the surgical method used.
2. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring is a method of measuring blood pressure at regular intervals over a 24-hour period, typically using a portable device.
ABPM provides a more comprehensive assessment of blood pressure throughout daily activities and sleep, offering insights into variations that may not be detected in clinic settings.
ABPM is recommended for patients suspected of having white coat hypertension, masked hypertension, resistant hypertension, or fluctuating blood pressure patterns.
The patient wears a small cuff attached to a portable monitor that automatically inflates and records blood pressure at regular intervals, usually every 15-30 minutes during waking hours and less frequently during sleep.
Most patients find ABPM comfortable, as the device is lightweight and designed for minimal disruption to daily activities. The cuff may inflate periodically but does not cause pain.
3. SPUTUM AFB
The Sputum AFB Test detects acid-fast bacilli in sputum, indicating a tuberculosis infection.
Provide sputum samples early in the morning in a sterile container. Avoid substances that might alter sputum consistency.
Results are typically available within 7 to 10 days due to the time needed for culturing and analysis.
It is essential for diagnosing tuberculosis, monitoring treatment progress, and preventing the spread of TB.
