Packed cell volume

₹50.00

Also known as the haematocrit test, the PCV or Packed Cell Volume Test is a test done to diagnose polycythaemia, dehydration or anaemia in certain patients. It is generally a part of the full blood count test that is used to estimate the need for certain blood transfusions and monitor the response to treatment. Blood, in general, is a mix of plasma as well as cells.

The PCV test measures how much of the blood consists of cells. If the PCV returns a reading of 50%, it means that 50 ml of the cells are present in exactly 100 ml of blood. If the RBC number increases, then the total reading of the PCV is also up. This number can also increase due to dehydration.

Performing the PCV tests and the total solids is a pretty routine and simple test undertaken at many hospitals. All medical members can easily perform the test but interpreting them is the tricky part. The readings can provide a lot of information regarding the patient’s status and also help plan the next treatment step.

  • 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.

  • 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.
