1. HEPATITIS B CORE
The Hepatitis B Core Antibody Test detects antibodies against the core antigen of Hepatitis B virus, indicating past or current infection.
The test is used to diagnose Hepatitis B infection, assess immune response, and guide further testing.
No special preparation is needed. You can eat and drink normally. Inform your healthcare provider about any medications or recent health issues.
Results are typically available within 1 to 2 days after the test.
A positive result indicates past or current exposure to Hepatitis B virus. It may require further testing to determine the infection stage and appropriate management.
2. Continuous renal replacement therapy
CRRT is a medical therapy used in intensive care units to manage patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) or severe kidney dysfunction. It involves the continuous removal of waste products and excess fluids from the blood.
CRRT is used when a patient’s kidneys are unable to adequately filter waste and excess fluids from the blood, leading to dangerous levels of toxins and fluid overload.
CRRT differs from hemodialysis in that it is slower and performed continuously over 24 hours or longer periods. Hemodialysis, on the other hand, is intermittent and typically lasts for a few hours.
Yes, CRRT can be used cautiously in patients with heart failure to manage fluid overload and electrolyte imbalances, with careful monitoring of hemodynamic status.
CRRT provides gentler and more gradual fluid and solute removal, making it suitable for hemodynamically unstable patients who cannot tolerate the rapid changes associated with conventional hemodialysis.
3. Stool C/S
The test involves collecting a stool sample, which is then cultured to identify pathogens. Sensitivity testing follows to determine effective antibiotics.
It can diagnose bacterial, parasitic, or fungal infections causing gastrointestinal symptoms like diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fever.
Results are typically available within a few days, depending on the growth rate of pathogens and antibiotic sensitivity testing.
The test involves minimal risk, mainly related to sample collection. It’s essential to follow proper hygiene and sample collection procedures.
No, this test specifically detects bacteria, parasites, and fungi. Viral infections require different diagnostic tests.
