Chronic Respiratory Disease Package

₹ 3299/-

A comprehensive set of tests and assessments designed to evaluate and manage chronic respiratory diseases, such as

  1. Spirometry
    • Purpose: Measures lung function by assessing airflow and volume during inhalation and exhalation.
  2. Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF) Measurement
    • Purpose: Monitors the maximum speed of expiration, useful for tracking asthma control.
  3. Chest X-ray
    • Purpose: Visualizes lung structures to detect abnormalities, such as infections or chronic diseases.
  4. Bronchodilator Responsiveness Test
    • Purpose: Determines how well airways respond to bronchodilator medications, helping to diagnose asthma and COPD.
  5. Diffusion Capacity Test (DLCO)
    • Purpose: Measures the lungs’ ability to transfer gas from the air into the bloodstream.
  6. Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) Analysis
    • Purpose: Evaluates oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood, assessing lung function and gas exchange.
  7. Sputum Analysis
    • Purpose: Analyzes mucus to identify infections, inflammatory cells, or cancerous cells.
  8. Allergy Testing
    • Purpose: Identifies specific allergens that may trigger respiratory symptoms.

Purpose of the LFT Package

  • Diagnose chronic respiratory conditions.
  • Monitor disease progression and response to treatment.
  • Develop personalized management strategies to improve quality of life.

Preparation

  • Spirometry and PEF: Avoid bronchodilator medications for a specified period before testing; consult your healthcare provider.
  • Chest X-ray: No special preparation needed, but inform the technician if pregnant.
  • Sputum Analysis: Collect a sample early in the morning for best results; avoid mouthwash before collection.

Interpretation

  • Spirometry Results: Determine the presence and severity of obstructive or restrictive lung disease.
  • ABG Results: Analyze gas exchange efficiency and oxygenation status.
  • Sputum Results: Identify potential infections or inflammatory conditions.
