Prothrombin time

₹260.00

The prothrombin time, sometimes referred to as PT or pro time test, is a test to evaluate blood clotting.

Prothrombin is a protein produced by your liver. It is one of many factors in your blood that help it to clot appropriately. Most often, the prothrombin time is monitored if you are taking the blood-thinning medication warfarin. In this situation, the prothrombin time is expressed as an international normalized ratio (INR).

Your doctor may recommend a prothrombin time test prior to surgery if there is any concern about your blood’s ability to clot.

The prothrombin time test may also be performed to evaluate you for liver disease. It is one of several tests used to screen people waiting for liver transplants. That screening ? known as the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) ? is a scoring system for assessing the severity of chronic liver disease.

If your doctor suspects you have other health issues, such as liver problems or a bleeding disorder, you might need additional testing to confirm your condition.

  • ACTH

    This test measures the level of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) in the blood. ACTH is a hormone made by the pituitary gland, a small gland at the base of the brain. ACTH controls the production of another hormone called cortisol. Cortisol is made by the adrenal glands, two small glands located above the kidneys. Cortisol plays an important role in helping you to:

    Respond to stress
    Fight infection
    Regulate blood sugar
    Maintain blood pressure
    Regulate metabolism, the process of how your body uses food and energy
    Too much or too little cortisol can cause serious health problems.

  • USG

    Diagnostic ultrasound, also called sonography or diagnostic medical sonography, is an imaging method that uses sound waves to produce images of structures within your body. The images can provide valuable information for diagnosing and directing treatment for a variety of diseases and conditions.

    Most ultrasound examinations are done using an ultrasound device outside your body, though some involve placing a small device inside your body.

  • X-Ray

    An x-ray examination uses an electrical device to emit (put out) x-rays and digital technology to create two-dimensional pictures of internal body structures.
    This test is particularly useful in diagnosing conditions or diseases that affect the bones and chest.
    A conventional x-ray examination is non-invasive, painless and does not require any recovery time.
    The dose of radiation from an x-ray examination is considered safe ? roughly the same as you would receive from the general environment in about one week.

  • Urine ketone

    A ketones in urine test measures ketone levels in your urine. Normally, the cells in your body use glucose (sugar) from your blood for energy. If your cells can’t get enough glucose, your body breaks down fat for energy instead. This produces an acid called ketones, which can build up in your blood and urine.

    Having some ketones in your urine is normal. But high ketone levels in urine may be a sign that your body is too acidic. This condition is called ketoacidosis. The most common type of ketoacidosis is a complication of diabetes called diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Diabetic ketoacidosis is a medical emergency that often develops quickly and can even be life-threatening.

    If you have diabetes, a ketones in urine test can help find high ketone levels early so you can get treatment right away. Home tests are available if your health care provider recommends frequent testing.
