Peritoneal Fluid for AFB Price in Bangladesh

What is Peritoneal Fluid for AFB?

This test detects tuberculosis (TB) or other mycobacterial infections in the peritoneal cavity. Preparation involves fasting before the procedure.

During the test, a healthcare provider performs a paracentesis to collect fluid from the abdomen using a needle. Risks include infection, bleeding, or injury to surrounding organs.

After the test, mild discomfort or bloating may occur. Results identify the presence of AFB, indicating a mycobacterial infection.

Conditions like prior TB exposure or weakened immunity can influence test results or the likelihood of infection.

What to expect & how to prepare

Peritoneal Fluid for AFB is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your Peritoneal Fluid for AFB result rather than self-diagnosing.
