1. FERRITIN
The Ferritin Test measures the amount of ferritin in your blood, indicating your body’s total iron stores.
It helps diagnose and monitor iron-related conditions like anemia and iron overload disorders, providing crucial insights into your iron metabolism.
A simple blood sample is collected and analyzed to determine ferritin levels, usually requiring no special preparation.
Low levels suggest iron deficiency, while high levels can indicate iron overload, chronic inflammation, or liver disease.
Frequency depends on individual health conditions and risk factors. Consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
2. How long does an arthroscopy procedure take?
Arthroscopy typically takes about 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the joint and the complexity of the condition being treated.
3. IONISED CALCIUM
The Ionised Calcium test measures the level of free, biologically active calcium in the blood, which is crucial for various bodily functions.
It provides a more accurate assessment of calcium levels compared to total calcium tests, helping diagnose and manage conditions affecting calcium balance.
No special preparation is usually needed. Inform your healthcare provider about any medications or supplements, and follow any specific instructions given.
Results are typically available within a few hours to 1 day after the blood sample is processed.
The test helps diagnose calcium imbalances, parathyroid disorders, kidney dysfunction, bone health issues, and cancer-related hypercalcemia.
