Troponin I Rapid Test In Surat - Price & Details

The Troponin I Rapid Test is typically conducted in labs or healthcare facilities such as hospitals, clinics, or diagnostic centres. It is a crucial diagnostic tool used to detect troponin I, a protein found in the heart's muscles in the blood. Troponin I levels are typically undetectable, but they increase when there is damage to the heart muscles. This test plays a vital role in diagnosing conditions like acute coronary syndrome, heart attack, and unstable angina. By providing rapid results within minutes, the Troponin I Rapid Test enables physicians to take immediate action and provide appropriate treatment to patients.

If the doctor suspects a heart attack, they will prescribe a troponin test to you. Symptoms of heart attack include:

• Breathing trouble when attempting to do the lightest physical activity
• Feelings of nausea and vomiting
• Lightheadedness and dizziness
• Discomfort and pain in shoulders, back, jaw, neck or one or both arms
• Irregular heartbeat
• Sweating
• Chest pain

High levels of troponin are not always indicative of heart attack. Other conditions that can cause high troponin levels include sepsis, chronic kidney failure, heart surgery, inflammation of the heart muscle or a blood clot in the lungs.

There isn’t any special preparation required for taking a troponin test. There is no need to fast unless your doctor has prescribed other blood tests on the same sample.

During the Troponin Test

At the time of the troponin test, a trained phlebotomist will arrive on behalf of PharmEasy Labs to collect the blood sample. They will arrive at the registered residential address on the date and time selected. Using sealed syringes, sterilised gloves and special vein finder devices, they will draw the sample from you.

As this is a qualitative test, there are no specific ranges. The results only show positive or negative results, indicating if Troponin I is present or not in blood.

The Troponin rapid test is either positive or negative. A confirmed positive Troponin I Rapid Test indicates the presence of troponin I in the blood. The presence of troponin confirms damage to heart muscles due to heart attacks. A negative Troponin I Rapid Test indicates the absence of troponin I in the blood.

Your doctor may want to investigate further by prescribing other tests like ECG, creatine kinase, 2D echo, complete blood count, lactate dehydrogenase, renal function tests and vitamin B12 assays to find the cause of acute coronary syndrome or heart attack.
