What is Pericardial Fluid for Biochemical test?

This test analyzes the fluid surrounding the heart (pericardial fluid) to detect infection, inflammation, or other cardiac conditions. Preparation includes ensuring the patient is positioned properly for fluid collection.

During the procedure, a needle is inserted into the pericardium (pericardiocentesis) to collect fluid. Risks include infection, bleeding, or injury to heart structures.

After the test, patients may feel sore at the insertion site. Results help diagnose pericarditis, heart failure, or tumors by measuring protein levels, glucose, and other substances.

Conditions like prior heart surgery or fluid accumulation can affect the results or collection process.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
