Service Providers for Peritoneal Fluid for Anti TB IgA
This test detects antibodies (IgA) against tuberculosis (TB) in peritoneal fluid, helping diagnose TB-related peritonitis. Preparation involves fasting and possibly adjusting medications. During the test, a healthcare provider performs a procedure called paracentesis to collect fluid from the abdomen. Risks include infection, bleeding, or injury to surrounding organs. After the test, patients may experience mild discomfort or bloating. Results indicate the presence of IgA antibodies, confirming TB infection. Conditions like recent antibiotic use or other infections may affect the test’s accuracy.
