Service Providers for Pericardial Fluid for Anti TB IgA
This test detects the presence of antibodies against tuberculosis (TB) in pericardial fluid, helping diagnose pericardial TB infection. Preparation includes informing the healthcare provider of any medications or conditions. During the test, a sample of pericardial fluid is obtained through a procedure called pericardiocentesis, where a needle is inserted into the pericardial sac. Risks include infection, bleeding, or injury to nearby organs. After the test, monitoring for complications is needed. Results show if Anti-TB IgA is present, indicating a possible TB infection. Conditions like prior TB exposure or immunosuppressive therapy may affect test accuracy.
