Minimally invasive endocrine surgery involves using small incisions and advanced tools to treat disorders of the thyroid, parathyroid, or adrenal glands with reduced recovery time and scarring.

Critical care, also known as intensive care, is specialized medical care for patients with life-threatening conditions that require comprehensive monitoring and treatment.

Conditions such as severe infections, respiratory failure, heart attack, stroke, major surgeries, traumatic injuries, and organ failure often necessitate critical care.

The critical care team includes intensivists, critical care nurses, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, and other specialized healthcare providers.

ICU equipment includes ventilators, monitors, infusion pumps, dialysis machines, and other devices to support and monitor vital functions.

Patients in the ICU are continuously monitored using advanced technology to track vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and respiratory rate.

The test helps diagnose rheumatoid arthritis by detecting specific antibodies associated with the condition.

A blood sample is collected and analyzed to measure the levels of anti-CCP antibodies.

No special preparation is required. You can eat and drink normally before the test.

Results are typically available within a few hours to 24 hours after the sample is processed.

Elevated levels suggest a higher likelihood of rheumatoid arthritis, but further clinical evaluation is needed for a definitive diagnosis.
