Thyroid Function Test
Thyroid Function Test is a blood test used to evaluate the function of the thyroid gland. It measures thyroid hormones to determine whether the thyroid is producing too much or too little hormone.
These tests help diagnose thyroid disorders such as Hypothyroidism and Hyperthyroidism.
Tests Included in Thyroid Screening Profile
Complete Blood Count (CBC)
The CBC test measures different components of blood such as red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin, and platelets. It helps detect infection, inflammation, and changes in blood cell levels caused by typhoid fever.
Widal Slide Agglutination Test
This test detects antibodies produced by the body against Salmonella Typhi. It is commonly used to screen for typhoid infection and helps identify exposure to the bacteria.
Blood Culture & Sensitivity
Blood culture is one of the most reliable tests to detect typhoid bacteria in the bloodstream. It also helps determine the most effective antibiotics for treatment.
Typhi Dot IgG IgM Test
The Typhi Dot test detects IgG and IgM antibodies specific to typhoid infection. IgM antibodies indicate recent infection, while IgG antibodies may suggest past infection or ongoing immune response.
Urine Examination (Routine Examination)
A urine test helps detect urinary tract infections or abnormalities that may occur during systemic infections like typhoid.
