Acetylcholinesterase (RBC) OPC poisoning Blood
This test measures the activity of acetylcholinesterase in your red blood cells. It is primarily used to check for exposure to organophosphate compounds (OPCs), which are commonly found in pesticides and nerve agents. A decrease in this enzyme's activity can indicate poisoning.
ACTIVE VITAMIN B12 (HOLOTRANSCOBALMIN)
This test measures the active form of Vitamin B12, called holotranscobalamin, which is the only portion of B12 that cells can readily use. It provides a more accurate assessment of your body's B12 status compared to total B12, helping to detect early deficiencies.
Adrenal 21-Hydroxylase Autoantibodies
This test checks for specific antibodies that target the 21-hydroxylase enzyme in your adrenal glands. These antibodies can indicate an autoimmune condition affecting your adrenal function.
AFB DRUG SENSITIVITY: MIC TEST FOR RAPID GROWING NON-TUBERCULOUS MYCOBACTERIA (NTM)
This test identifies the most effective antibiotics for treating infections caused by rapid-growing Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM). It uses the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) method to determine the lowest drug dose needed to stop the bacteria's growth, guiding precise treatment.
AFB RAPID GENOTYPIC TEST (MDR-TB) (Note: This test is not applicable for MOTT)
This rapid genotypic test identifies the presence of Acid-Fast Bacilli (AFB) and checks for specific genetic mutations associated with multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). It helps in quickly determining if the TB bacteria are resistant to common first-line medications. Please note, this test is specifically designed for Mycobacterium tuberculosis and is not applicable for other types of mycobacteria (MOTT).
AFB SECOND LINE DRUG- GENOTYPIC ASSAY (Note: This test is not applicable for MOTT)
This genotypic assay is used to detect resistance of Acid-Fast Bacilli (AFB) to second-line anti-tuberculosis drugs. It provides critical information when initial treatments are ineffective or if multi-drug resistance is suspected. This test is specifically for Mycobacterium tuberculosis and not for other mycobacteria (MOTT).
AFB SMEAR
An AFB Smear test involves examining a sample, such as urine, under a microscope to look for Acid-Fast Bacilli (AFB). These bacteria are commonly associated with tuberculosis and other mycobacterial infections. It's a quick screening method to detect the presence of these microorganisms.
AFB SUSCEPTIBILITY : Amikacin
This test determines if acid-fast bacilli (AFB), often associated with tuberculosis, are susceptible to the antibiotic Amikacin. It helps guide treatment decisions for infections caused by these bacteria.
AFB SUSCEPTIBILITY : Capreomycin
This test checks if acid-fast bacilli (AFB), commonly linked to tuberculosis, are susceptible to the antibiotic Capreomycin. It's crucial for tailoring effective treatment plans for these specific infections.
AFB SUSCEPTIBILITY : CLOFAZIMINE
This test determines if the Acid-Fast Bacilli (AFB) causing an infection are susceptible to the antibiotic Clofazimine. It's vital for guiding treatment decisions, especially for drug-resistant mycobacterial infections like certain forms of tuberculosis or leprosy.
AFB SUSCEPTIBILITY : Ethambutol
This test checks if the Acid-Fast Bacilli (AFB) causing an infection are sensitive to Ethambutol, a key medication used to treat tuberculosis. It helps ensure that the prescribed treatment will be effective against the specific strain of bacteria.
AFB SUSCEPTIBILITY : Ethionamide
This test assesses whether the Acid-Fast Bacilli (AFB) responsible for an infection are susceptible to Ethionamide, an antibiotic often used in treating drug-resistant tuberculosis. It's essential for guiding treatment when first-line drugs are not effective.
