Culture for AFB
Acid-fast bacillus (AFB) is a type of bacteria that causes tuberculosis and certain other infections. Tuberculosis, commonly known as TB, is a serious bacterial infection that mainly affects the lungs. It can also affect other parts of the body, including the brain, spine, and kidneys. TB is spread from person to person through coughing or sneezing.
TB can be latent or active. If you have latent TB, you’ll have TB bacteria in your body but won’t feel sick and can’t spread the disease to others. If you have active TB, you’ll have symptoms of the disease and could spread the infection to others.
AFB tests are usually ordered for people with symptoms of active TB. The tests look for the presence of AFB bacteria in your sputum. Sputum is a thick mucus that is coughed up from the lungs. It is different from spit or saliva.
There are two main types of AFB tests:
AFB smear. In this test, your sample is “smeared” on a glass slide and looked at under a microscope. It can provide results in 1?2 days. These results can show a possible or likely infection, but can’t provide a definite diagnosis.
AFB culture. In this test, your sample is taken to a lab and put in a special environment to encourage the growth of bacteria. An AFB culture can positively confirm a diagnosis of TB or other infection. But it takes 6?8 weeks to grow enough bacteria to detect an infection.₹2,486.00Add to cart -

Muestra de heces: Cultivo bacteriano
What It Is
A stool (feces) sample can provide doctors with valuable information about what’s going on when a child has a problem in the stomach, intestines, or other part of the gastrointestinal (GI) system. A stool culture helps the doctor see if there’s a bacterial infection in the intestines.A technician places small stool samples in sterile plastic dishes with nutrients that encourage the growth of certain bacteria. The targeted bacteria will only grow if they’re already in the stool sample. If bacterial colonies form, the technician evaluates them using a microscope and chemical tests to identify the organism

Culture urine
A urine culture test can identify bacteria or yeast causing a urinary tract infection (UTI). If bacteria multiply, an antibiotic sensitivity test can identify the antibiotic most likely to kill those particular bacteria. Your healthcare provider may order a urine culture if you get chronic or hard-to-treat UTIs.

D-Dimer
A D-dimer test looks for D-dimer in blood. D-dimer is a protein fragment (small piece) that’s made when a blood clot dissolves in your body.
Blood clotting is an important process that prevents you from losing too much blood when you are injured. Normally, your body will dissolve the clot once your injury has healed. With a blood clotting disorder, clots can form when you don’t have an obvious injury or don’t dissolve when they should. These conditions can be very serious and even life-threatening. A D-dimer test can show if you have one of these conditions.

Dengue Antibody ( IgM)
Positive IgM and IgG tests for dengue antibodies detected in an initial blood sample mean that it is likely that the person became infected with dengue virus within recent weeks. IgM antibody tests can be positive if a person has been infected with a similar virus, such as chikungunya (called cross-reaction).

Dengue NS1 Antigen
NS1 tests detect the non-structural protein NS1 of dengue virus. This protein is secreted into the blood during dengue infection.
NS1 tests have been developed for use in serum. Most of these tests use synthetically labeled antibodies to detect dengue NS1 protein.
How should it be used and at what time during infection?
NS1 is detectable during the acute phase of dengue virus infections. NS1 tests can be as sensitive as molecular tests during the first 0-7 days of symptoms. After day 7, NS1 tests are not recommended.
A positive NS1 test result is indicative of a dengue infection but does not provide serotype information. Knowing the serotype of the infecting virus is not necessary for patient care; however, if serotype information is needed for surveillance purposes, the sample should be tested by NAT.
Though studies show that NS1 can be found in whole blood or plasma, most NS1 tests have been developed and evaluated in serum samples. While combined testing with a NS1 and IgM antibody test can usually provide a diagnostic result during the first 1-7 days of illness, a second, convalescent phase specimen should be obtained and tested for IgM when both antigen and antibody tests are negative.₹858.00Add to cart -
DHEA
Healthcare providers use DHEAS tests to measure levels of a steroid hormone that your body converts into estrogen and androgens (testosterone). A high test result may indicate an adrenal tumor or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), while a low test result may indicate Addison?s disease

ECG
An electrocardiogram records the electrical signals in the heart. It’s a common and painless test used to quickly detect heart problems and monitor the heart’s health.
An electrocardiogram ? also called ECG or EKG ? is often done in a health care provider’s office, a clinic or a hospital room. ECG machines are standard equipment in operating rooms and ambulances. Some personal devices, such as smartwatches, offer ECG monitoring. Ask your health care provider if this is an option for you.

Electrolytes
An electrolyte test is a blood test that measures if there’s an electrolyte imbalance in the body. Electrolytes are salts and minerals, such as sodium, potassium, chloride and bicarbonate, which are found in the blood. They can conduct electrical impulses in the body.

ESR
Sed rate, or erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), is a blood test that can reveal inflammatory activity in your body. A sed rate test isn’t a stand-alone diagnostic tool, but it can help your doctor diagnose or monitor the progress of an inflammatory disease.
When your blood is placed in a tall, thin tube, red blood cells (erythrocytes) gradually settle to the bottom. Inflammation can cause the cells to clump. Because these clumps are denser than individual cells, they settle to the bottom more quickly.
The sed rate test measures the distance red blood cells fall in a test tube in one hour. The farther the red blood cells have descended, the greater the inflammatory response of your immune system.

Estradiol
An estrogen test measures the level of estrogens in the blood or urine. Estrogen can also be measured in saliva using at-home test kit. Estrogens are a group of hormones that play a key role in the development of female physical features and reproductive functions, including the growth of breasts and the uterus, and regulation of the menstrual cycle. Men also make estrogen but in much smaller amounts.
There are many types of estrogens, but only three types are commonly tested:
Estrone, also called E1, is the main female hormone made by women after menopause. Menopause is a time in a woman’s life when her menstrual periods have stopped and she can’t become pregnant anymore. It usually starts when a woman is around 50 years old.
Estradiol, also called E2, is the main female hormone made by nonpregnant women.
Estriol, also called E3 is a hormone that increases during pregnancy.
Measuring estrogen levels can provide important information about your fertility (the ability to get pregnant), the health of your pregnancy, your menstrual cycle, and other health conditions.₹609.00Add to cart -
Ferritin
A ferritin test measures the amount of ferritin in your blood. Ferritin is a blood protein that contains iron. A ferritin test helps your doctor understand how much iron your body stores.
If a ferritin test reveals that your blood ferritin level is lower than normal, it indicates your body’s iron stores are low and you have iron deficiency. As a result, you could be anemic.
If a ferritin test shows higher than normal levels, it could indicate that you have a condition that causes your body to store too much iron. It could also point to liver disease, rheumatoid arthritis, other inflammatory conditions or hyperthyroidism. Some types of cancer also can cause your blood ferritin level to be high.

Fibrinogen
A fibrinogen test is a blood test to check your fibrinogen levels. Fibrinogen is a protein that helps with blood clotting. Your healthcare provider may order this test if you experience excessive bleeding. If you have low fibrinogen, you may have intravenous (IV) treatments to increase your levels. Your healthcare provider may perform a fibrinogen test if you have symptoms that could point to low fibrinogen, such as:
Bleeding gums.
Bleeding in your gastrointestinal tract.
Blood in your urine or stool.
Coughing up blood.
Excessive bruising.
Frequent nosebleeds.
Ruptured spleen.
You may also have a fibrinogen test if you have:Atypical coagulation results like an abnormal prothrombin time test (PT) or activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), which measures how quickly your blood clots.
Signs of blood clotting disorders.
Signs of disseminated intravascular coagulation, a severe clotting disorder.
Signs of genetic disorders that affect blood clotting.
Recurrent pregnancy loss.₹715.00Add to cart -
Folic Acid
This test is done to check for folic acid deficiency.
Folic acid helps form red blood cells and produce DNA that stores genetic codes. Taking the right amount of folic acid before and during pregnancy helps prevent neural tube defects, such as spina bifida.
Women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant should take at least 600 micrograms (mcg) of folic acid every day. Some women may need to take more if they have a history of neural tube defects in earlier pregnancies. Ask your provider how much you need.
Normal Results
The normal range is 2.7 to 17.0 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) or 6.12 to 38.52 nanomoles per liter (nmol/L).Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different labs. Talk to your provider about the meaning of your test results.
The examples above show the common measurements for results for these tests. Some labs use different measurements or may test different specimens.
What Abnormal Results Mean
Lower-than-normal folic acid levels may indicate:Poor diet
Malabsorption syndrome (for example, celiac sprue)
Malnutrition
The test may also be done in cases of:Anemia due to folate deficiency
Megaloblastic anemia₹975.00Add to cart
