1. TOTAL PROTEIN / ALB
A low albumin level may suggest liver disease, kidney disease, malnutrition, or chronic inflammatory conditions.
Yes, certain medications and supplements can influence total protein levels. It’s important to inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking.
No, fasting is generally not required for this test unless specified by your healthcare provider.
The frequency of testing depends on your health condition. Your healthcare provider will recommend the appropriate schedule for monitoring.
Abnormal levels may indicate underlying health issues. Further evaluation and treatment may be needed based on your test results.
2. Continuous renal replacement therapy
CRRT is a medical therapy used in intensive care units to manage patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) or severe kidney dysfunction. It involves the continuous removal of waste products and excess fluids from the blood.
CRRT is used when a patient’s kidneys are unable to adequately filter waste and excess fluids from the blood, leading to dangerous levels of toxins and fluid overload.
CRRT differs from hemodialysis in that it is slower and performed continuously over 24 hours or longer periods. Hemodialysis, on the other hand, is intermittent and typically lasts for a few hours.
Yes, CRRT can be used cautiously in patients with heart failure to manage fluid overload and electrolyte imbalances, with careful monitoring of hemodynamic status.
CRRT provides gentler and more gradual fluid and solute removal, making it suitable for hemodynamically unstable patients who cannot tolerate the rapid changes associated with conventional hemodialysis.
3. TROPONIN -1 ( NANO )
Elevated Troponin I levels typically indicate damage to the heart muscle, often due to a heart attack or other cardiac conditions.
No special preparation is needed. Inform your healthcare provider about any medications and symptoms you are experiencing.
Results are usually available within a few hours, allowing for prompt diagnosis and treatment.
Yes, the Nano Test utilizes advanced technology for higher sensitivity and earlier detection of heart muscle injury.
Discuss abnormal results with your healthcare provider to determine the appropriate next steps for treatment or further evaluation.
