Service Providers for Peritoneal Fluid Analysis
Peritoneal fluid analysis is used to diagnose infections, inflammation, or cancer in the abdominal cavity. Preparation may involve fasting prior to the procedure. During the test, a needle is inserted into the abdomen to collect a sample of fluid. Risks include infection, bleeding, or injury to nearby organs. After the test, patients may experience mild discomfort or bloating. Results help identify infections, blood, or cancerous cells in the fluid. Conditions like cirrhosis, ascites, or abdominal trauma may influence results, affecting the accuracy or interpretation of the test.
