Knowing your blood group is crucial for safe blood transfusions, organ transplants, and managing pregnancies to prevent Rh incompatibility.

No, the Blood Group Test does not detect diseases. It only determines your blood type and Rh factor.

No, fasting is not required. You can eat and drink normally before the test.

A healthcare provider draws a blood sample from your vein, which is then analyzed in a laboratory to determine your blood type.

Results are typically available within a few hours after the blood sample is collected and analyzed.

Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring is a method of measuring blood pressure at regular intervals over a 24-hour period, typically using a portable device.

ABPM provides a more comprehensive assessment of blood pressure throughout daily activities and sleep, offering insights into variations that may not be detected in clinic settings.

ABPM is recommended for patients suspected of having white coat hypertension, masked hypertension, resistant hypertension, or fluctuating blood pressure patterns.

The patient wears a small cuff attached to a portable monitor that automatically inflates and records blood pressure at regular intervals, usually every 15-30 minutes during waking hours and less frequently during sleep.

Most patients find ABPM comfortable, as the device is lightweight and designed for minimal disruption to daily activities. The cuff may inflate periodically but does not cause pain.

The duration of the surgery varies but generally lasts between 1 to 3 hours, depending on the joint being replaced and the complexity of the procedure.
