1. HBSAG ( ELISA )
HBsAg is a surface antigen of the hepatitis B virus, detected in the blood during HBV infection.
Individuals at risk of HBV infection or needing routine screening should undergo this test.
No, the test involves a simple blood draw, which may cause slight discomfort but is generally well-tolerated.
A positive result indicates the presence of HBV infection.
No, additional tests may be required to distinguish between acute and chronic infection.
2. S.CALCIUM
The test measures the total amount of calcium in your blood, including both free (ionized) calcium and calcium bound to proteins.
It provides crucial information about calcium levels, helping diagnose and manage conditions like osteoporosis, kidney disease, parathyroid disorders, and certain cancers.
Generally, fasting is not required. However, it’s important to inform your healthcare provider about any medications or supplements you’re taking, as these can affect the test results.
Results are typically available within a few hours to a day, allowing for prompt medical decision-making based on the calcium levels in your blood.
Abnormal levels can be caused by various factors, including parathyroid gland disorders, kidney disease, certain cancers, and dietary imbalances. Your healthcare provider will interpret the results and provide guidance based on your specific condition.
3. CORTISOL
The Cortisol Test measures cortisol levels in the blood to assess adrenal gland function and diagnose conditions related to hormone imbalances and stress.
No fasting is required, but follow specific timing instructions provided by your healthcare provider. Inform them about any medications you are taking.
Cortisol levels typically vary throughout the day. Morning levels are usually highest, so the test is often scheduled in the morning.
Abnormal cortisol levels can indicate conditions such as Cushing’s syndrome, Addison’s disease, or other adrenal disorders. 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.
