CULTURE BLOOD COMPREHENSIVE PANEL Test
Overview
The Culture Blood Comprehensive Panel is a medical test offered by DNA Labs UAE that examines various components of the blood to assess a person’s overall health and detect any abnormalities or infections. It is a comprehensive panel that includes multiple tests to evaluate different aspects of the blood.
Test Components
- Culture Aerobic Blood, Rapid
- Culture Anaerobic Blood, Rapid
- Culture Fungus Blood / Body Fluids Rapid
Test Details
The Culture Blood Comprehensive Panel includes the following tests:
- Complete Blood Count (CBC): Measures the levels of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets in the blood. Helps diagnose conditions such as anemia, infection, or blood disorders.
- Blood Chemistry Panel: Assesses the levels of various chemicals and substances in the blood, such as electrolytes, glucose, cholesterol, liver enzymes, and kidney function markers. Helps evaluate organ function and detect conditions such as diabetes, liver or kidney disease, or imbalances in electrolytes.
- Blood Culture: Involves collecting a sample of blood and incubating it to check for the presence of bacteria, fungi, or other microorganisms that may cause infections in the bloodstream. Typically used to diagnose conditions like sepsis or bacteremia.
- Coagulation Profile: Evaluates the blood’s ability to clot properly. Measures factors involved in the coagulation process and helps diagnose bleeding disorders or assess the risk of excessive bleeding or clotting.
- Blood Typing: Determines a person’s blood type, which is important for blood transfusions or organ transplants.
- Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR): Measures the rate at which red blood cells settle at the bottom of a test tube over a specified period. Helps detect inflammation or infection in the body.
Sample Condition
To perform the Culture Blood Comprehensive Panel, it is required to collect 8-10 mL blood aseptically in a special Plus Aerobic bottle, 8-10 mL blood aseptically in a special Plus Anaerobic bottle, and 8-10 mL whole blood/body fluids aseptically in a Myco/F-Lytic bottle available from LPL. Mix the samples by gentle swirling and ship them at room temperature. For children less than 12 years, collect 2 mL blood in a Special Paeds Plus bottle.
Report Delivery
Sample is collected daily by 3.30 pm and the report is delivered within 5-15 days.
Method
The Culture Blood Comprehensive Panel utilizes conventional culture, automated identification & sensitivity, conventional anaerobic culture, and rapid automated fungus culture methods.
Test Type
The Culture Blood Comprehensive Panel is primarily used for diagnosing infections.
