ADA Adenosine Deaminase Pericardial Fluid
This test measures the level of Adenosine Deaminase (ADA) enzyme in pericardial fluid, which is found around the heart. Elevated ADA levels in this fluid can indicate inflammation or infection of the pericardium, the sac surrounding the heart.
Adenovirus (Respiraitory) PCR
The Adenovirus (Respiratory) PCR test detects genetic material from adenoviruses in a respiratory sample. This test is crucial for identifying an active adenovirus infection, which can cause a range of respiratory illnesses from common colds to pneumonia.
Adenovirus (Stool) PCR
This test detects the genetic material (DNA) of adenovirus in a stool sample. It's a highly sensitive method used to identify an active adenovirus infection, particularly in the gastrointestinal tract, helping pinpoint the cause of digestive symptoms.
Adiponectin Level
This blood test measures the level of adiponectin, a hormone produced by fat cells that plays a key role in regulating glucose levels and fatty acid breakdown. Healthy levels are associated with better metabolic health and insulin sensitivity.
ADVANCED FEVER PACKAGE
The Advanced Fever Package offers a more comprehensive analysis for persistent or unexplained fever. It includes a broader range of tests to investigate deeper causes, such as specific infections, autoimmune markers, and more detailed inflammatory indicators.
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 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.
