The Serum Renin Test measures renin levels to assess kidney function and diagnose conditions related to blood pressure regulation and adrenal function.

You may need to avoid certain foods, activities, or medications before the test. Follow specific instructions from your healthcare provider for accurate results.

The test is often performed in the morning, as renin levels can vary throughout the day. Timing instructions will be provided by your healthcare provider.

Elevated or decreased renin levels can indicate conditions such as secondary hypertension, kidney disorders, or adrenal dysfunction. Further evaluation may be needed.

Results are generally available within 24 to 48 hours after the blood sample is collected, allowing for prompt review and diagnosis.

The TB GOLD Test is an advanced diagnostic tool that uses an interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) to detect latent tuberculosis infection.

Unlike the tuberculin skin test (TST), the TB GOLD Test does not require a return visit for reading and provides more accurate results by measuring the immune response to TB-specific antigens.

No special preparation is required. You can eat and drink normally before the test, but inform your healthcare provider about any medications or recent illnesses.

Results are typically available within 2 to 7 days after the sample is analyzed in the laboratory.

The TB GOLD Test helps accurately diagnose latent TB infection, which is crucial for preventing the progression to active TB and ensuring appropriate treatment and management.

Recovery time varies but typically involves a hospital stay of a few days to a week, with full recovery taking several weeks.
