24 Hour Urine Sodium

The kidney is central to the regulation and conservation of electrolytes in the body. Urinary sodium (Na+) excretion varies with dietary intake, and there is a large diurnal variation with the rate of Na+ excretion during the night being only 20% of the peak rate during the day. Urine sodium testing is used on the evaluation of acid-base abnormalities, water balance, water intoxication, and dehydration.

Acid Fast Bacilli Concentration

Acid fast stains are used to differentiate acid fast organisms such as mycobacteria. Detection of acid-fast bacilli (AFB) in stained and acid-washed smears examined microscopically may provide the initial bacteriologic evidence of the presence of mycobacteria in a clinical specimen. This test uses Kinyoun method of staining.

Acid Fast Bacilli Smear/Direct

Acid fast stains are used to differentiate acid fast organisms such mycobacteria. Acid fast bacteria will be red, while nonacid fast bacteria will stain blue/green with the counterstain with the Kinyoun stain. Ziehl Nielson can also be used to stain mycobacteria but uses heat while the Kinyoun method does not. Procedure used technique that directly inoculated sample to slide with a specific smearing pattern and criterias.

Anti Double Stranded DNA

Anti-double stranded DNA antibody (anti-dsDNA) is one of a group of autoantibodies called antinuclear antibodies (ANA). Normally, antibodies protect against infection, but autoantibodies are produced when a person's immune system fails to adequately distinguish between "self" and "non-self." They mistakenly attack the body's own healthy cells, causing tissue and organ damage.

Anti Hepatitis A Virus Immunoglobulin M

Hepatitis A is a self-limiting disease and is often a subclinical disorder. During the acute phase of HAV infection, IgM anti-HAV appears in the pateint's serum and is nearly always detectable at the onset of symptoms. In most cases, IgM anti-HAV response usually peaks within the first month of illness and can persist for up to six months.

Blood Ammonia

Ammonia is derived from the catabolism of amino acids and from the action of intestinal bacteria on dietary protein, and is converted to urea in the liver hepatocytes and so rendered non-toxic. Elevated ammonia can have a toxic effect on the central nervous system, it may also be observed in severe liver failure, viral hepatitis or cirrhosis and it may occur with genetic defects of urea cycle and some other hereditary disorders.

NOTE	•Collection tube must be completely filled and immediately placed on ice. •Centrifuge the cold sample as quickly as possible and separate the plasma from blood cells using closed system. Rapid separation of plasma from blood cells is critical for obtaining reliable results. The standard recommendation is no more than 15 minutes from sample collection to the start of centrifugation. Timing is especially critical for patients with liver disease. Delays exceeding 15 minutes have been shown to increase ammonia concentration even at 0˚C. •Specimen obtained from House Call procedure is not acceptable unless otherwise, pre-analytical procedure stated above is strictly followed.

Blood Culture and Sensitivity Aerobic and Anaerobic

A blood culture is a laboratory test in which blood, taken from the patient, is inoculated into bottles containing culture media to determine whether infection-causing microorganisms (bacteria or fungi) are present in the patient’s bloodstream. Blood culture is the most widely used diagnostic tool for the detection of bacteremia and fungemia. It is the most important way to diagnose the etiology of bloodstream infections and sepsis and has major implications for the treatment of those patients.
