Yes. If you book blood test or body packages through our website/app.We generally do not levy any home collection charges. However, a nominal fee is charged if your order is below ₹499. These charges will reflect in the final payment page.
The list of most commonly performed diagnostics tests is different for different kinds of people and is based on several factors like age, sex, geographical factors, and so on. However, in general, the most common diagnostics tests that have people looking for “medical labs near me” include CBCs, LFTs, KFTs, lipid profile tests, blood glucose tests, thyroid profiles, etc.

Overview
The TB PCR D&C test is an advanced molecular diagnostic test that not only detects the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA but also characterizes the strain and identifies potential drug resistance mutations. This test uses real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA sequencing technologies to detect specific genetic markers associated with TB, including those that confer resistance to first-line anti-TB drugs such as rifampicin and isoniazid. The TB PCR D&C test provides rapid and accurate results, enabling healthcare providers to initiate appropriate treatment and improve patient outcomes. This test is particularly useful for diagnosing TB in patients with complex or drug-resistant cases, and for monitoring treatment efficacy.
Description
The TB PCR D&C test is a molecular diagnostic assay that utilizes real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA sequencing technologies to detect and characterize Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA in clinical specimens. The test involves the extraction of DNA from the specimen, followed by amplification of specific genetic targets using PCR. The amplified DNA is then detected using fluorescent probes and characterized using DNA sequencing. The test targets specific genetic markers, including the rpoB gene for rifampicin resistance, the katG gene for isoniazid resistance, and the inhA gene for isoniazid and ethionamide resistance. The TB PCR D&C test provides detailed information on the presence of M. tuberculosis DNA, the strain type, and potential drug resistance mutations, enabling healthcare providers to make informed treatment decisions and improve patient outcomes.
