Ascitic Fluid for Biochemical test Price in Bangladesh

What is Ascitic Fluid for Biochemical test?

The Ascitic Fluid for Biochemical Test measures various chemical components in ascitic fluid, which is fluid accumulated in the abdomen. This test helps to identify the cause of ascites, such as liver disease (e.g., cirrhosis), heart failure, or infections.

Key tests may include measurements of protein levels, glucose, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and albumin, which aid in differentiating between conditions like spontaneous bacterial peritonitis or malignant ascites. The fluid is obtained through paracentesis.

Risks are minimal but include discomfort and a slight risk of infection at the puncture site. Results help guide treatment decisions.

What to expect & how to prepare

A sample is collected at the centre and analysed in the laboratory. The sample type — blood, urine, stool or another body fluid — depends on the specific test, and the collection staff will tell you which one applies.

• Fasting: only some laboratory tests need fasting, and this varies test by test. Ask the centre whether fasting is required for this specific test when you book, rather than assuming.
• Medication: tell the laboratory about medicines, supplements and recent injections, because some can affect results.
• Requesting slip: bring the doctor's advice or previous reports so the laboratory runs and compares the right test.
• Report timing: turnaround differs between routine and specialised tests — the centre will tell you when your report is ready.

Have a registered doctor interpret the result together with your symptoms rather than self-diagnosing from reference ranges.
