1. APTT Test
The APPT (Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time) test measures the time it takes for blood to clot, evaluating the functionality of clotting factors in the blood.
It is crucial for diagnosing bleeding disorders, monitoring anticoagulant therapy, and assessing clotting function before surgery.
No special preparation is usually needed. Inform your healthcare provider about any medications or supplements you are taking.
Results are generally available within a few hours to 1 day after the test.
The test helps diagnose bleeding disorders such as hemophilia, monitor anticoagulant therapy, and assess clotting function for surgical evaluation.
2. Cardiology
Cardiology is the branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of heart and blood vessel disorders.
Symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, dizziness, or fatigue should prompt a visit to a cardiologist.
An ECG is a test that measures the electrical activity of the heart to detect heart problems.
A 2D Echo is a non-invasive imaging test that uses sound waves to create images of the heart, helping to assess its function and structure.
We provide comprehensive services, including ECG, 2D Echo, Stress Tests, Cardiac Catheterization, Interventional Cardiology, and more.
3. Hospice care in Mumbai
Hospice care is a type of care designed to provide comfort and support to patients with terminal illnesses, focusing on quality of life rather than curative treatments.
Patients diagnosed with a terminal illness and a life expectancy of six months or less, as determined by a physician, are eligible for hospice care.
Hospice care services include pain and symptom management, emotional and spiritual support, assistance with daily activities, and support for family members.
While both hospice and palliative care focus on comfort and quality of life, hospice care is specifically for patients nearing the end of life, whereas palliative care can be provided at any stage of a serious illness.
The hospice care team typically includes doctors, nurses, social workers, chaplains, home health aides, and trained volunteers.
