What is Tissue for GeneXpert(MTB)?
The Tissue for GeneXpert (MTB) test detects Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) in tissue samples using the GeneXpert technology. It helps diagnose tuberculosis (TB) in tissues when sputum is not available.
The test involves obtaining a tissue sample, typically through biopsy, followed by processing it with GeneXpert for MTB detection and resistance testing. No specific preparation is required.
Risks include mild pain, infection, or bleeding from the biopsy. Results are interpreted as MTB positive/negative.
Conditions like contamination or inadequate sample size may affect accuracy. Negative results may require further testing.
What to expect & how to prepare

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