CAPD Fluid For Routine Examination

CAPD stands for Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis, a procedure used for patients with chronic kidney disease who perform dialysis through the abdomen. Patients on CAPD may develop peritonitis, a serious infection of the peritoneal cavity. Therefore, examining CAPD fluid is essential to detect infection early. The fluid is interpreted by analysing cell count , sugar & protein level, type of cells, presence of coagulum & bacteriological status. Comment is also made on presence of malignant cells, mesothelial cells and macrophages. Protein level helps to divide the fluid into exudates and transudate. If sugar levels are reduced, acute inflammation is suspected.Report is interpreted as malignant/suspicious/inflammatory/ transudate/Negative for malignancy. Advisory services are provided wherever required. CAPD Fluid examination helps to detect peritonitis, Identify bacterial or fungal infections, Assess the nature and clarity of dialysis fluid.

  • Description

    Cytopathology is used to diagnose various neoplastic and non-neoplastic disorders by examining the cellular details.

     

    The main applications are-

    1. Fine needle aspiration cytology(FNAC) of palpable masses

    2. Guided FNAC of deep seated masses

    3.Exfoliative cytology:GYNAE( Conventional Pap, Liquid based cytology)

                                      : NON-GYNAE(Body fluids,sputum,nasal discharge,BAL)

    To provide precision in diagnosis,SARAL uses cutting edge technology like cytocentrifuge, liquid based cytology and cell block)

    All procedures are conducted by pathologists and processing is done by senior technologists.

    All tests are under the scope of NABL Accreditation and quality is assured by participating in EQAS from PGI Chandigarh.

TAT Policy

The Turnaround Time (TAT) for a test depends on the following factors:

  • Registration date and time
  • Type of scan or test
  • Scan time or sample collection time

Please note that in uncommon circumstances, TAT may be delayed due to the complexity of the test or reasons beyond our control. You will be informed about the estimated TAT at the time of registration or after completion of the test.
