S100 Price in Bangladesh

What is S100?

The S100 test measures the levels of S100 proteins in the blood, which are associated with inflammation or damage to tissues like the brain, heart, and skin. It helps diagnose conditions such as melanoma, brain injuries, and neurological disorders.

Preparation is usually minimal, but fasting may be required. The test involves a blood draw, typically with no significant risks beyond mild discomfort.

Results are interpreted by comparing protein levels to normal ranges, with elevated levels indicating potential issues. Conditions like kidney disease or inflammation can affect results, and further tests may be needed for a diagnosis.

What to expect & how to prepare

S100 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 S100 result rather than self-diagnosing.
