Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a test used to check how well the kidneys are working.

Specifically, it estimates how much blood passes through the glomeruli each minute.
Glomeruli are the tiny filters in the kidneys that filter waste from the blood.

An eGFR higher than 60 means you have at least 60% kidney function. Generally, the higher the number, the better your kidney function

03/09/2024

Mpox causes signs and symptoms which usually begin within a week but can start 1–21 days after exposure. Symptoms typically last 2–4 weeks but may last longer in someone with a weakened immune system.

The preferred lab test for mpox is detection of viral DNA by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The best diagnostic specimens are taken directly from the rash – skin, fluid or crusts – collected by vigorous swabbing. In the absence of skin lesions, testing can be done using swabs of the throat or a**s. Testing blood is not recommended. Antibody detection methods may not be useful as they do not distinguish between different orthopoxviruses.

There are four major blood groups determined by the presence or absence of two antigens, A and B, on the surface of red blood cells. In addition to the A and B antigens, there is a protein called the Rh factor, which can be either present (+) or absent (–), creating the 8 most common blood types (A+, A-, B+, B-, O+, O-, AB+, AB-).

What are the different types of bacterial culture tests?

Bacteria can be sampled from various areas of your body or substances inside your body, depending on the type of infection suspected. The different types are:

• Blood culture: A blood culture checks for systemic infection throughout your entire body, such as sepsis. A healthcare provider collects the blood sample from a vein, usually in your arm. Blood cultures are rarely done on people who aren’t staying in the hospital (outpatients) and should be repeated at regular intervals.

• Cerebrovascular fluid (CSF) culture: A CSF culture tests a sample of the fluid that protects the spine. A healthcare provider inserts a needle into a space between two vertebrae in your spine to get the sample. This procedure is called a spinal tap (lumbar puncture).

• Stool culture: A stool culture tests p**p for an infection in your digestive tract. A healthcare provider will ask you to p**p into a sterile cup that’s then sealed and sent to a lab.

• Throat culture: A throat culture tests for infection in your throat like strep throat. A healthcare provider swabs the back of your throat for a sample of cells.

• Sputum culture: If your provider suspects an infection deep in your lungs, they may run tests on sputum. Sputum is thick mucus that comes from deep in your lungs. It’s also called phlegm. A healthcare provider will ask you to cough up sputum.

• Urine culture: A urine culture tests p*e to help diagnose infection in the urinary tract, including the kidneys. A healthcare provider will ask you to clean your ge****ls then p*e directly into a small, sterile cup. The cup is then sealed and sent to the lab. In the hospital, a urine sample may be collected through a catheter. A catheter is a thin tube inserted into the urethra (the tube where urine exits the body).

• Wound culture: If you have a cut or burn that might be infected, you may need a wound culture, also called a skin culture. A healthcare provider will use a syringe to take a sample of fluid or pus from the wound, or a piece of tissue is sent to the lab.
