2. S.CALCIUM
The test measures the total amount of calcium in your blood, including both free (ionized) calcium and calcium bound to proteins.
It provides crucial information about calcium levels, helping diagnose and manage conditions like osteoporosis, kidney disease, parathyroid disorders, and certain cancers.
Generally, fasting is not required. However, it’s important to inform your healthcare provider about any medications or supplements you’re taking, as these can affect the test results.
Results are typically available within a few hours to a day, allowing for prompt medical decision-making based on the calcium levels in your blood.
Abnormal levels can be caused by various factors, including parathyroid gland disorders, kidney disease, certain cancers, and dietary imbalances. Your healthcare provider will interpret the results and provide guidance based on your specific condition.
3. ANTITHROMBIN 3
Antithrombin III is a protein that helps regulate blood clotting by inhibiting clotting factors. Proper function of Antithrombin III is essential for preventing abnormal blood clot formation.
A blood sample is drawn from a vein in your arm and analyzed to measure Antithrombin III levels and activity.
No fasting or special preparation is required. You can eat and drink normally before the test.
Results are generally available within a few hours to 1-2 days, depending on the laboratory’s processing time.
Discuss any abnormal results with your healthcare provider, who will provide guidance on further tests or treatment options based on your specific condition.
