CAPD Fluid for Anti TB IgG Price in Bangladesh

What is CAPD Fluid for Anti TB IgG?

Testing CAPD (Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis) fluid for Anti-TB IgG antibodies is a diagnostic approach used when peritoneal tuberculosis (TB) is suspected in a patient on dialysis. The IgG antibodies are part of the body's immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacteria responsible for TB.

To perform the test, a sample of the CAPD effluent (dialysate) is collected and analyzed for the presence of Anti-TB IgG antibodies, typically using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Elevated levels of these antibodies in the peritoneal fluid can suggest active or past TB infection in the peritoneum.

However, this test is not definitive, and results are often interpreted in conjunction with other diagnostic methods, such as AFB smear, culture, or PCR, to confirm peritoneal TB.

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.
