Cystatin C

The Cystatin C test is a blood test used to assess kidney function and detect early stages of kidney disease. Cystatin C is a protein produced by all nucleated cells at a constant rate and filtered from the blood by the kidneys. Unlike creatinine, its levels are less influenced by age, gender, or muscle mass, making it a more accurate marker of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Elevated Cystatin C levels may indicate reduced kidney function, while normal levels suggest healthy kidney filtration. This test is particularly useful for patients with chronic kidney disease, diabetes, or conditions affecting kidney performance, providing early detection and better risk assessment for kidney-related complications.Reports On : With 12 HoursSample Type : BloodFasting : Not Required Click Here…

Culture & Sensitivity, Aerobic Bactec Bone Marrow

The Culture & Sensitivity (C&S) test of bone marrow using the aerobic BACTEC system is a laboratory procedure aimed at detecting and identifying aerobic bacterial infections within the bone marrow. This test is crucial for diagnosing systemic infections, particularly in immunocompromised patients, and helps guide targeted antibiotic therapy. Bone marrow aspirate is inoculated into BACTEC aerobic culture bottles, where automated monitoring detects bacterial growth through metabolic changes. Once growth is identified, the bacteria are isolated, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing is performed to determine the most effective antibiotics. This method enhances early detection, ensures accurate identification, and aids in the selection of appropriate therapy, thereby improving patient outcomes.Reports On : With 72 HoursSample Type :Bone marrowFasting : Not Required Click Here To…

Creatinine Clearance Test (CCT), 24 Hrs Urine

The Creatinine Clearance Test (CCT), 24-hour urine, measures kidney function by evaluating how efficiently creatinine is cleared from the blood into the urine over a full day. Creatinine, a waste product from muscle metabolism, is filtered by healthy kidneys, and its clearance rate helps estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR). This test requires collecting all urine produced in 24 hours, alongside a blood sample, to compare creatinine levels. It is useful in diagnosing chronic kidney disease, monitoring kidney function in patients with known renal disorders, and assessing the effects of medications or treatments on kidney performance. Proper collection and adherence to instructions are critical for accurate results.Reports On : With 12 HoursSample Type : Blood, UrineFasting : Not Required Click Here To Book…
