1. Liver Function Test

It helps diagnose liver diseases and assesses overall liver function.

Typically, fasting is not necessary, but inform your healthcare provider about any medications or supplements.

It provides crucial information about liver health, aiding in diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of liver diseases.

Results are usually available within a day, allowing for timely medical decisions based on liver function assessment.

2. IRON STUDIES

The Iron Studies Test measures various aspects of iron metabolism, including serum iron, ferritin, transferrin, and TIBC.

It helps diagnose and monitor iron-related conditions such as anemia and hemochromatosis, providing crucial insights into your iron status.

Patients are typically advised to fast for 8-12 hours before the test and inform their healthcare provider about any medications or supplements they are taking.

Low iron levels suggest iron deficiency, while high levels can indicate iron overload, chronic inflammation, or other underlying conditions.

The frequency of testing depends on individual health conditions and risk factors. Consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.

3. TB GOLD

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.
