Fungal stain Pus
This test involves examining a pus sample under a microscope to identify the presence of fungal organisms. It helps diagnose fungal infections in abscesses, wounds, or other pus-producing sites.
Fungal stain Skin
This test examines a sample from your skin, such as a scraping or biopsy, under a microscope to detect the presence of fungal elements. It's crucial for identifying skin infections caused by various types of fungi.
Fungal stain Specify Body fluid type
This test involves examining a sample of a specific body fluid, such as cerebrospinal fluid, pleural fluid, or joint fluid, under a microscope to identify fungal elements. It's used to detect fungal infections within internal body systems.
Fungal stain Sputum
This test involves microscopic examination of a sputum sample (phlegm) to detect the presence of fungal elements. It is primarily used to diagnose fungal infections affecting the respiratory system, such as the lungs and airways.
Fungal stain Tissue
This test involves a microscopic examination of a tissue sample, typically obtained through a biopsy, to identify fungal structures. It is used to diagnose fungal infections that have invaded specific tissues or organs within the body.
Fungal stain Urine
This test involves a microscopic examination of a urine sample to detect the presence of fungal elements. It is used to diagnose fungal infections of the urinary tract, kidneys, or bladder, which can sometimes be asymptomatic.
Fungus Examination KOH Mount
The Fungus Examination KOH Mount test helps detect the presence of fungal elements in a sputum sample. It involves treating the sample with potassium hydroxide (KOH) to dissolve non-fungal material, making any fungi present easier to see under a microscope. This test is a quick and effective way to screen for fungal infections.
GALACTOMANNAN (ASPERGILLUS ANTIGEN), SERUM
The Galactomannan (Aspergillus Antigen) test measures a specific component of the cell wall of Aspergillus fungi in your blood. This test helps determine if you have an active infection caused by Aspergillus, a common type of mold that can cause serious illness, especially in vulnerable individuals.
Galactose (Total) Quantitative
The Galactose (Total) Quantitative test measures the total amount of galactose in your blood. This test is often used as a screening tool for Galactosemia, a group of genetic disorders that affect how the body processes galactose, or to monitor the effectiveness of dietary management in individuals already diagnosed.
Galactose (Total) Screening Qualitative
This test screens for total galactose in the blood, helping to identify potential issues with how your body processes galactose, a type of sugar found in milk and dairy products. It's a qualitative test, meaning it indicates the presence or absence of elevated levels rather than an exact amount.
Galactose 6 Sulphate Sulphatase
This test measures the activity of the enzyme Galactose-6-sulphate sulphatase, which is crucial for breaking down certain complex sugars in the body. It helps identify specific lysosomal storage disorders.
Gamma Glutamyl Transferase (GGT)
The Gamma Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) test measures the amount of GGT enzyme in your blood. GGT is primarily found in the liver, but also in the kidneys, pancreas, and gallbladder, and its levels can rise when these organs are damaged.
