The Prolactin Serum Test measures the level of prolactin hormone in the blood, assessing pituitary gland function and hormonal balance.

It is used to diagnose pituitary disorders, investigate unexplained symptoms, evaluate hormonal imbalances, and monitor treatment for related conditions.

Fasting is not required, but avoid a large meal before the test. Inform your healthcare provider about any medications or supplements.

Results are typically available within 1 to 3 days after the test.

It can help diagnose conditions such as prolactinomas, hormonal imbalances, hypothyroidism, and other endocrine disorders affecting prolactin levels.

A positive result indicates past infection with the Dengue virus or successful vaccination against Dengue.

No, additional tests, such as Dengue IgM or PCR, may be required to differentiate recent infections from past ones.

No, the Dengue IgG test is not suitable for diagnosing acute Dengue infection. IgG antibodies appear later in the course of infection.

Dengue IgG antibodies can remain detectable in the bloodstream for months to years after infection or vaccination.

A negative result suggests no detectable Dengue IgG antibodies. If symptoms persist or there is a recent exposure, consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

Results are typically available within a few hours after the blood sample is collected and analyzed.
