A positive result indicates recent or current infection with the Dengue virus.

No, additional tests, such as Dengue NS1 antigen test or PCR, may be required to identify the specific serotype.

No, the Dengue IgM test is designed to detect recent or current infections during the acute phase.

Dengue IgM antibodies are typically detectable in the bloodstream for up to 3 months after infection.

A negative result suggests no detectable Dengue IgM antibodies. If symptoms persist or there is recent exposure, consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

A high ratio may indicate proteinuria, which can be a sign of kidney damage or disease.

No special preparation is typically required, but it’s important to inform your healthcare provider about any medications you are taking.

A urine sample is collected in a clean container. No fasting or special dietary restrictions are needed.

The test is highly accurate in assessing kidney function and detecting proteinuria when performed correctly.

Abnormal results should be discussed with your healthcare provider, who will recommend further tests or treatment based on your overall health and symptoms.

Elevated PCT levels indicate bacterial infections, helping healthcare providers differentiate between bacterial and viral causes of inflammation.

The PCT Test guides antibiotic therapy decisions, reducing unnecessary antibiotic use and minimizing antibiotic resistance.

No, the PCT Test specifically indicates bacterial infections and is not useful for diagnosing viral infections.

Yes, elevated PCT levels are indicative of sepsis caused by bacterial infections, aiding in prompt diagnosis and treatment.

The frequency of PCT testing depends on the clinical condition and response to treatment, as determined by the healthcare provider.
