No special preparation is needed, but it is important to follow hygiene practices and inform your healthcare provider of any recent treatments.
Results are generally available within 3 to 5 days, depending on the growth rate of the microorganisms and the complexity of the infection.
Discuss the results with your healthcare provider to determine alternative treatment options based on the sensitivity profile of the identified microorganisms.
2. PROTEIN S
Protein S is a protein that helps regulate blood clotting by assisting in the deactivation of clotting factors and promoting the breakdown of clots. Its proper function is crucial for preventing abnormal clot formation and related disorders.
