Service Providers for Ascitic Fluid for Anti TB IgA
The Ascitic Fluid for Anti-TB IgA test detects the presence of IgA antibodies against tuberculosis (TB) in ascitic fluid, which is fluid accumulated in the abdomen, often due to tuberculous peritonitis. The test helps in diagnosing abdominal tuberculosis, a rare but serious complication of TB infection. The fluid is obtained through paracentesis, where a needle is inserted into the abdomen to collect the sample. The risks are minimal and usually involve slight discomfort or the potential for infection at the puncture site. A positive result indicates TB infection in the abdomen.
