| Usage: | Urine analysis is one of the most useful laboratory tests as it identifies a wide range of medical conditions including renal damage, urinary tract infections, diabetes, hypertension and drug toxicity.This assay is performed on urine sediment by a chemical analyser that is able to detect urine particles in the sediment with high accuracy. This instrument performs sample preparation, takes several images of each sample through its built-in microscope & evaluates them using Auto Image Evaluation Module (AIEM), which is a high quality image processing software. This is a reliable, standardised automatic method for identification of urine sediment & chemical analysis. |
A viral marker test is a blood test that checks for antibodies to specific viruses. It can help diagnose infections like HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C.
What it detects
Symptoms that may indicate a viral infection
This assay is useful for diagnosing Vitamin A deficiency & toxicity and for monitoring therapy. It evaluates persons with intestinal malabsorption of lipids. Vitamin A deficiency can lead to blindness whereas chronic intoxication can affect several organs. Known HIV positive patients with Vitamin A deficiency show increased disease progression and mortality.
Vitamin B12 is necessary for hematopoiesis and normal neuronal function. B12 deficiency may be due to lack of intrinsic factor secretion by gastric mucosa (gastrectomy, gastric atrophy) or intestinal malabsorption (ileal resection, small intestinal diseases) leading to Macrocytic anemia. This assay is useful for investigating Macrocytic anemia and as a workup of deficiencies seen in Megaloblastic anemia.
Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) is an essential vitamin required for carbohydrate metabolism. It is converted in the intestine to Thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) which is the active form of Vitamin B1. The high risk factors for thiamine deficiency include old age, long term parenteral nutrition, hemodialysis, malabsorption or alcohol abuse. Severe deficiency causes congestive heart failure (wet beriberi), peripheral neuropathy (dry beriberi), Wernicke encephalopathy (a medical emergency that can progress to coma and death), and Korsakoff syndrome (often irreversible memory loss and dementia that can follow).
