Miscellaneous Fluid Analysis Test Cost & Procedure

Introduction

Analysis of body fluids spans various analytical fields. Cells and other particles can be counted and distinguished in this way. With our haematology analyzers (XN-Series and XN-L Series) and urine flow cytometers, you can count and distinguish cells from a variety of various body fluids, including cerebrospinal fluid, serous fluids, and synovial fluid. (UF-4000, UF-5000). One crucial step in making the proper diagnosis is the counting and differentiation of cells in bodily fluids. The type of bodily fluid is a key factor in the varied reasons for requesting this kind of analysis.

Contrary to manual approaches employing a conventional counting chamber, automating these procedures for body fluids has various benefits. Analysis is quick and practical because it doesn't involve any pre-treatment or sample preparation. It is a suitable method of standardising the process because the quality of it is independent of the operator's subjective skill. Additionally, it is possible to decrease the number of laborious manual chamber counts.

Following test you can check for

Brain-spine fluid (CSF)

The clear, physiologic saline bodily fluid known as cerebrospinal fluid is produced by ultrafiltration of blood and has a low protein content. The spinal cord is encased in it, and it occupies the area between the skull, brain, and ventricles. It carries hormones and neurotransmitters, aids in the removal of toxic metabolites, provides the brain with a stable environment, and acts as a "cushion" for the brain and spinal cord. A healthy adult typically produces between 500 and 600 mL of this unique fluid each day, with an average daily intake of 100 to 150 mL.

Pleural effusion

The area around the lungs known as the pleural cavity is where pleural fluid collects between the two pleural layers. Pleural fluid has a maximum physiological volume of 15 mL. Pleural effusions that include excessive volumes of this fluid are regarded as pathological. The most common cause of this buildup is congestive heart failure, but other causes include pneumonia, pulmonary emboli, TB, and others.

Abdominal Fluid

The peritoneal cavity contains peritoneal fluid, which is a transparent, light yellow fluid with a volume under 50 mL. Ascites refers to a fluid that has gathered in an excessive amount. Instead of being referred to as "peritoneal fluid," the fluid is now more generally known as "ascitic fluid." Ascites typically results from liver cirrhosis but can also be brought on by malignancy, congestive heart failure, or even tuberculosis. Peritoneal fluid is analysed to determine the origin of the fluid's presence and to either discover or rule out peritonitis.

Synovial fluid

Synovial fluid, a transparent, physiological bodily fluid with a light yellow hue that is present inside the joint cavity and helps to reduce friction between the articular cartilages when the joint is in motion. A volume increase can occur for a variety of reasons, and effusions are typically divided into four groups: non-inflammatory, inflammatory, septic, and hemorrhagic. Infectious from inflammatory origins of the effusion can be distinguished using cell count and differentiation. A polymorphonuclear cell predominance and extremely high white blood cell counts (more than 100,000/L are conceivable) are indicators of a joint infection.

fluid for continuous ambulatory peritonitis dialysis (CAPD)

The fluid produced by continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is not a true bodily fluid because it is produced to treat an illness rather than because it naturally occurs or is caused by a disease. For individuals with kidney problems, the CAPD procedure offers an alternative to hemodialyzation.
