1. Holter Monitor
A Holter monitor is a portable device used to continuously record the electrical activity of the heart over 24 to 48 hours, capturing data during daily activities.
A Holter monitor helps detect and diagnose irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias) that may not be captured during a standard ECG.
The monitor is attached to the patient with electrodes placed on the chest. It records heartbeats continuously while the patient carries out normal activities.
Patients experiencing symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness, fainting, or irregular heartbeats may require Holter monitoring to assess their heart’s electrical activity over an extended period.
Holter monitoring typically lasts 24 to 48 hours, depending on the doctor’s recommendation and the specific monitoring objectives.
2. PROTEIN S
Protein S is a protein that helps regulate blood clotting by assisting in the deactivation of clotting factors and promoting the breakdown of clots. Its proper function is crucial for preventing abnormal clot formation and related disorders.
A blood sample is drawn from a vein in your arm. The sample is then analyzed to measure Protein S levels and activity.
No fasting or special preparation is required before the test. You can eat and drink as usual.
Results are typically available within a few hours to 1-2 days, depending on the laboratory’s processing time.
If your results are abnormal, your healthcare provider will discuss them with you and may recommend additional tests or adjustments to your treatment plan based on your specific condition.
3. ANTI HBSAG
It is a test that detects antibodies against the Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) to assess immunity to Hepatitis B.
It is recommended after Hepatitis B vaccination, recovery from Hepatitis B, or as part of routine screening.
No special preparation is required. Inform your healthcare provider of any recent vaccinations or Hepatitis B history.
Results are usually available within 24 to 48 hours after the blood sample is collected.
Positive results indicate immunity to Hepatitis B, while negative results may suggest the need for further evaluation or vaccination.
