RH TYPE

$ 19.00

RH TYPE Any other names for this test? This test is also known as Rh incompatibility or the Rh factor. What exactly is Rh type? The Rhesus factor, often known as the "Rh factor," is a type of protein present on the surface of red blood cells. Rh-positive means individuals have the protein, whereas Rh-negative means individuals do not have the protein. Rh positive or Rh negative is indicated by the "+" or "-" that you might notice after your blood type. What is an Rh-type lab test? The Rh-type test determines if you have the Rh factor present on the outer layer of your red blood cells. This Rh protein is passed down to you from your genetic parents. Taking a rhodopsin test during pregnancy is important because if you are Rh negative and your baby is Rh positive, you may develop rhodopsin incompatibility. The test results show if you are Rh positive or Rh negative. If you are Rh-positive, you have Rh protein in your blood. And if you are negative, you do not have Rh protein in your blood. The most common Rh type is positive, which means, However, Rh negativity is not very common. Why do I need an Rh-type test? This test is often administered to pregnant women at their initial prenatal visit. You could take this test if you:   Are Expecting You are considering becoming pregnant You are the biological father's unborn child You are Rh-negative and expecting a child with a Rh-positive partner Require a blood transfusion You are interested in donating blood   What is Rh incompatibility? Rh incompatibility occurs during pregnancy, necessitating the use of an Rh-type test. This condition refers to Rh factor problems. For instance, if you are Rh negative and your unborn child is Rh positive, it means you may have Rh incompatibility. Some of your baby's blood may travel through the placenta into your body during pregnancy. Your body might produce antibodies against the baby's blood in an attempt to defend itself from it. It might cause:   Miscarriage Anemia Ectopic pregnancy Abortion Vaginal bleeding Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) menstrual extraction What complications are related to Rh incompatibility? Pregnancy has no impact on Rh incompatibility. Hemolytic anemia can develop in a fetus as a result. Hemolytic anemia causes the fetus's red blood cells to be destroyed faster than they can be replaced. Rh incompatibility can have mild to severe side effects. These impacts may also include,   Jaundice liver disease A heart attack Stillbirth   The fetus may not require treatment if the side effects are minor. If the Rh condition is minor, most fetuses recover completely. If the problem is dangerous, the fetus might require a blood transfusion. This procedure results in the replacement of red blood cells. Medical personnel might use specialized lights to help reduce bilirubin levels in a fetus with jaundice. To avoid serious anemia problems, you might need to deliver the baby early. Since the development of Rh immune globulin injections, Rh disease has been less common. In case you want to determine whether you are Rh incompatible. Schedule an R-type test right now. How do I prepare for an Rh-type test? You do not need to prepare anything special for an Rh-type test. However, you should let your healthcare provider know about any medicines or supplements you are taking. Because factors can affect the testing results. How does an Rh-type test perform? The test requires a blood sample. Your medical professional will carry out the following   Your medical expert will first clean the puncture site with an antibiotic. He will next put an elastic band over the upper area of the hand to draw blood into the vein. He is now going to inject a little needle into the vein. Blood collected from the needle will be placed in a test container for testing. The blood test is now complete. The process of drawing blood has now been completed. Your medical team member will remove the elastic band.   How long does an Rh-type test take? A blood test does not take too long. The testing only takes five minutes to get done. However, your healthcare provider might take a few seconds to find the vein in your hand. Is any risk attached to the Rh-type test? This testing poses no harmful risks. However, you may feel a little pain and bruise around the spot where the needle went. These signs will go away in the next two or three days. What do the test results mean? If you are pregnant and your test results are Rh-positive, there is no need to worry about it. Your body might produce antibodies that could be dangerous if you are Rh-negative and your child is Rh-positive. Follow these instructions:   Contact your healthcare provider right away if you experience vaginal bleeding at any point during your pregnancy. Consult your doctor about arranging an RH-immune globulin injection during your pregnancy. Remind your medical staff that you are Rh-negative when you are in labor.   What other test needs to be done besides the Rh-type test? A blood test known as an "antibody screen" may be required if an Rh-type test reveals that you are Rh-negative. The antibody screen scans your blood for antibodies. If antibodies are found, it indicates that you have come into contact with Rh-positive blood and have grown immune to it. Throughout your pregnancy, you might require several antibody screenings, as well as one right before birth. If the baby's father cannot or will not undergo the Rh blood test, you might additionally require an amniocentesis. A needle is inserted into the uterus during amniocentesis to extract a small amount of amniotic fluid for testing.

RHEUMATOID FACTOR

$ 19.00

RHEUMATOID FACTOR TEST What are the other names for this test? RF Blood Test What is a Rheumatoid Factor test? A rheumatoid factor test observes for rheumatoid factor (RF) in your blood. Rheumatoid is a protein produced by your immune system. The immune system consists of a group of organs, cells, and proteins that helps to protect against infection or bacteria entering your body. Your immune system develops proteins called antibodies to fight bacteria. Rheumatoid factors are antibodies that may attack your healthy cells and tissues mistakenly. If you have symptoms of higher rheumatoid factors, it may lead to autoimmune disease or any other problem that may link to high RF levels. A rheumatoid factor test helps to determine autoimmune disorders and diagnose rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder that causes swelling, pain, stiffness, and joint damage. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a long-term condition that may also affect your lungs. What is the purpose of this test? A rheumatoid factor is often conducted with other tests, such as laboratory and medical imaging to diagnose rheumatoid arthritis or Sjogren's syndrome. This test may help your provider to check the severity of RA. High RF levels may lead to extreme rheumatoid arthritis. RF may also affect other body organs, such as the eyes, heart, and lungs. When do I need to take this test? Your healthcare provider may recommend a rheumatoid factor test if you have symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. Symptoms of Rheumatoid arthritis   Tiredness or fatigue Weakness Loss of weight Weakness Loss of hunger Swelling or pain in the joint Solid lumps under the skin Numbness or tingling in your hands Low-level fever Early morning joint stiffness that remains longer than 30 minutes Dryness of eyes and mouth Low risk for RA may link with women who breastfeed their children. The factors that may lead to a high risk of RA include:   Smoking Age Being overweight Gender (Females may experience RA at least 2-3 times more compared to males) Children of those mothers who smoke Women who do not have any children or give birth This test does not help to screen for RA if you do not experience signs. RA will not develop when your RF tests show positive results and without having symptoms. Your healthcare provider may also suggest the RF test to monitor and detect other health conditions that may include:   Scleroderma - An autoimmune rheumatic disease that leads to inflammation in the skin and other body parts. Sjogren’s syndrome - An autoimmune system disorder identified by two symptoms, including dryness in the mouth and eyes. Lupus - an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks healthy tissues. Juvenile arthritis - A type of arthritis found in children and teens. Hepatitis C ( liver disease) Specific forms of cancers, such as leukemia Sarcoidosis - an immune condition in which your immune system develops lumps, which happens due to the growth of abnormal cells. Specific infections, such as mononucleosis or tuberculosis, affect your lungs. Endocarditis - a condition in which bacteria or germs come into your blood vessels that flow to your heart. What is the procedure for this test?   Following are the steps of a rheumatoid factor test that include:   Your provider will ask you to stay relaxed and calm before the test. Take a seat in front of your provider and remove your cloth from one of the arms. A small needle will inject into the vein in your arm. Your blood sample will collect in a test tube A little discomfort or pain may happen during the test or at the time of injection of the needle. Regular activities may resume after the test. This test will finish within five minutes. Before visiting the laboratory, you can book an online rheumatoid factor test. How do I need to prepare for this test? A rheumatoid factor test does not need any specific preparation. You may eat or drink if you have only this test. But when your provider asks for other blood tests, you may need to fast for at least several hours. You can inform your provider about medicines, supplements, or vitamins you use. Do not avoid your medication without the prescription of your doctor. Are there any risks involved in this test?   A rheumatoid factor test contains low risks when you give a blood sample to your provider. Vein differs from person to person. Some people or children may have difficulty providing a blood sample compared to others. You may experience low risks when the needle injects into your vein, include   Infection Bruising Extreme Bleeding Slight pain Hematoma (Deposition of blood under the skin)   What do the test results indicate? The recommended range for rheumatoid factor test is below 20 international units per milliliter (U/mL) and is considered a negative result. It may indicate no or little RF in your blood. The negative result does not reduce the chance of rheumatoid arthritis or other health problems. Most people contain low or no RF with rheumatoid arthritis. Your healthcare provider may ask for additional tests if you feel symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis having negative rheumatoid factor test results. Higher levels than recommended may indicate you experience RA or any other autoimmune disease. RF levels do not always lead to symptoms of RA. Often higher RF levels may increase your risk of developing RA. The reference range for old adults may be higher than 20 U/mL. The test results depend on many factors, such as age, gender, and medical history. The test results may also slightly differ among laboratories. It is because each lab may use different methods for examination. Take an instant e-visit to consult with a provider about your test results. Most RA affects your joints of fingers, toes, knees, and shoulders. If RA is left untreated, it may lead to problems in your life, such as difficulty walking or in movements of hands and deformation of the joint structure. Long-term effects of RA may damage your cartilage and bones and reduce joint function. What factors may affect the test results? Some specific infections may increase your RF levels. What additional tests do I need along with this test? You may need also need to order other tests to find RA, including   Complete blood count (CBC) test Cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) antibody test Antinuclear antibody (ANA) test Your doctor may also ask for X-rays of your hands, feet, or wrists to see any joint damage.

Clinical Significance Rough Marsh Elder (w16) IgE - This test quantifies an individual’s IgE response to rough Marsh Elder. It is an in vitro quantitative assay, which is intended to be used in conjunction with other clinical information to aid in the diagnosis of allergic diseases [1]. While allergen-specific serum IgE testing is considered comparable to skin testing in many instances, both the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology and the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology recognize that allergen-specific serum IgE testing may be preferred in some clinical situations. These include 1) the presence of widespread skin disease, 2) the recent use of antihistamines or other medications that can affect the results of allergy skin tests, 3) uncooperative patients, and 4) medical history suggesting that allergen skin testing would pose a significant risk for a serious allergic reaction [1]. A definitive clinical diagnosis of allergy should not be based on the results of any single diagnostic method, but should be made by a trained healthcare professional after all clinical and laboratory findings have been evaluated.
