Some Causes of Knee Pain
A common musculoskeletal problem that makes many people suffer is knee pain. It can make one’s life miserable. A large number of people come to the doctor clinic in Hooghly for the treatment of knee pain. The following are some causes of knee pain:
Bursitis: There is a sac holding a small amount of fluid under the skin above the joint. This sac is called bursa. When there is movement of the joint, it helps in preventing friction. If there is irritation in the bursa on top of your kneecap for any reason, it leads to swelling and pain. The term that doctors have given to this is called prepatellar bursitis.
Dislocated Kneecap: Sometimes, there can be knee pain and swelling as your kneecap slides out of position. Patellar dislocation is a common term of this problem given by the doctors.
Osteoarthritis: A ‘wear and tear’ of arthritis is called osteoarthritis. In the people more than 50 years of age, it is a top cause of knee pain. When you are active, the knee joint swells or aches due to this condition.

Can you really boost your immune system?
It is a well-known fact that the immunity system needs to be kept in shape. A well-maintained immune system helps us to protect ourselves from many virus and bacteria-related diseases. There are various ways of keeping your immunity system boosted. You can opt for health drinks and power-packed foods which are nutrient-based. Or else you can opt for the second-best option. That is keeping your immunity at a high through natural foods like fruits, vegetables, and herbs.
The immune system can really be boosted and its not a myth but a reality. The doctors of the doctor clinic in Hooghly recommend us to have plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables which contain high amounts of anti-oxidants which in turn strengthen our immune system. Added to it, liquid intake is also an easy step to keep not only immune but all our body systems free from toxins.
It is not actually possible to keep track of our immune system regularly, but you can always get yourself tested from a pathology lab in Uttarpara to monitor your health condition. All the routine tests will help you to identify which important element your body is lacking of. Accordingly you can change your lifestyle and food habits.
You can also visit the doctors in the doctor chamber in Uttarpara to take a consultation regarding how smoking and alcohol affect your immune system and how regular exercise can keep you fit and fine from inside.
Beyond all this, for self-monitoring your health, see to it that how frequently you fall ill without any severe cause. And how fast you recover from that and get back to your normal life. This helps you to keep a check on your immune factor. Because the less frequently you fall ill and even if you, you recover very fast is a sign that you are healthy from inside with a foolproof immune system that is acting as a shield inside your body against the external bacteria and viruses.

Blood Tests for Viral Infection
In order to confirm the diagnosis of a viral infection, your doctor may suggest different blood tests. These tests will help the doctor to properly diagnose the infection, although the medical history and a thorough physical examination of the patient are also important. If you need to undergo some blood tests for viral infection, you can contact a pathology lab in Hooghly.
The following are the blood tests necessary for the diagnosis of viral infection:
Full blood count: The white blood cell count may increase or decrease if you have a viral infection. The doctor can get information about this from this test.
C-reactive protein (CRP): This is normally less than 50 in a viral infection. However, this amount is also high than that in a normal situation.
Procalcitonin: This test is done to know whether it is a viral infection or a bacterial infection.
Serology: In order to determine the immune response of your body to a particular organism, there is the testing of two blood samples in an interval of 10 days.

Diagnostic Tests for Thyroid Problems
If you don’t get proper treatment for your thyroid problem, it can lead to a lot of complications. The overproduction or underproduction of thyroid hormones often causes different thyroid disorders. The slowing down of hormone levels is necessary for the treatment for hyperthyroidism and there is the need for hormone replacement for the treatment of hypothyroidism. The effective ways of adjusting hormone levels are drugs and surgery. You have to undergo the necessary diagnostic tests for thyroid problems before your doctor starts treatment. Recently I took one of my friends to a pathology centre near me for some diagnostic tests for thyroid problems.
Blood Tests
The testing of the thyroid hormones in your blood helps your doctor to confirm whether you have hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. The doctor can measure the hormones from the thyroid and the thyroid-stimulating hormones with the help of these tests.
Iodide Uptake Tests
These tests are necessary to identify what is the cause of hyperthyroidism. The tracking of the amount of iodine absorbed by the thyroid gland is possible in this test. A key ingredient of thyroid hormone is this mineral. The doctor can tell how much hormone is made by the thyroid gland from the amount of thyroid it absorbs.
Besides these two tests, the doctor checks the nodules that appear on the thyroid glands with an ultrasound exam.

Diagnosis for Psoriasis
A skin condition, which speeds up the life cycle of skin cells, is known as psoriasis. The cells start building up rapidly on the skin surface. Scales and red patches develop from these extra skin cells. These patches cause both itching and pain.
When you visit a dermatologist for treatment, he/she will at first examine your skin to diagnose psoriasis. However, this process cannot always confirm whether you have psoriasis or not. The doctor will often suggest you go for a skin biopsy. The pathologist at a medical laboratory in Uttarpara examines a sample of your skin under the microscope and examines the cells in that sample to check whether there is an indication of psoriasis. While removing the sample during skin biopsy, the doctor uses local anaesthesia into the particular area so that you do not feel any pain. The skin biopsy is of several types. After getting the results from the pathology lab, the doctor can confirm the presence of psoriasis in you.

Diagnosis for Deep Vein Thrombosis
Sometimes, a blood clot (thrombus) forms in one or more deep veins in your body, usually in your legs. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is the name of this condition. There can be pain or swelling in the leg. However, there can also be no symptoms. If you have deep vein thrombosis, you need proper treatment as the clots can travel through the bloodstream and settle in your lungs, blocking the blood flow (pulmonary embolism). Your doctor will suggest some diagnostic tests to understand whether you have deep vein thrombosis or not. Some of these tests are done at a medical laboratory in Uttarpara.
Ultrasound: There will be a wand-like device (transducer) over your body part where the clot is present. This device sends sound waves into the area, which travel through your tissue and reflect back. The waves are transformed by a computer into a moving image on a video screen. In the image, the clot may be visible.
Blood Test: During a blood test, an elevated blood level of a substance called D dimer can be found in most people who have severe deep vein thrombosis.
CT or MRI Scans: If there is a clot in your body, both of these tests will show the clot in the visual images of the veins created by them.

Diagnosis for Typhoid Fever
Sometimes we suffer from bacterial infections that can spread throughout the body. One type of bacterial infection is typhoid fever, which affects many organs. A type of bacterium called Salmonella typhi is the cause of this. The bacteria can come out of the body through the stools and urine of the infected person. If any part of food or water contaminated with a small amount of infected stool or urine, the bacteria infects them and typhoid fever develops. For a proper diagnosis of typhoid fever, you can go to a diagnostic centre in Uttarpara.
The pathologist analyzes samples of blood, stool and urine during the diagnosis of typhoid fever. He/she will examine the sample under the microscope for the presence of Salmonella typhi bacteria. There may be a series of tests as it is not possible to detect the bacteria at the first test. A more acute way of diagnosing typhoid fever is possible by testing a sample of bone marrow. However, it is the last resort when the other tests don’t prove effective. This is because getting the sample is both painful and time-consuming. The other members of your family may also need to be diagnosed for the infection if it is confirmed that you have typhoid fever.

Some Laboratory Tests for Bacterial Infections
In order to confirm the diagnosis of a bacterial skin infection, the pathologist carries various tests in the laboratory. The doctor can reach a diagnosis with the help of laboratory tests, although a thorough history and the examination of the patient is vital. The gold standard laboratory test is the culture of the bacterial species with antibiotic sensitivity testing.
A pathologist at the medical laboratory in Uttarpara collects skin samples in the following ways:
Rubs a dry sterile cotton-tip swab on the suspicious site of the skin
Takes a moist swab from a mucosal surface
Uses a needle to take a sample of fluid/pus from a skin lesion
Removes a small sample of skin for skin biopsy after administering local anaesthetic
The culturing or growing bacteria involves brushing of the skin swab on sheep blood agar plates and after that exposing them to different conditions. The medium used to culture the specimen, the temperature for incubation and the amount of available oxygen are the different factors on which the type of bacteria that grows depends. The pathologist determines the type of antibiotics that inhibit the growth of the bacteria cultured. It also helps in choosing an effective antibiotic to treat a particular infection. Antibiotic susceptibility testing, Gram stain, Coagulase test and Catalase tests are used depending on the situation. The blood tests done in bacterial infections are Full blood count, C-reactive protein (CRP), Procalcitonin, Serology, Rapid Plasma Reagin (RPR) test and Blood culture. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) are also effective tests.

Tests for Fatty Liver
Hepatic steatosis is another name for fatty liver. When fat builds up in the liver, this happens. It is normal if there is a small amount of fat in your liver, but there can be health problems if too much fat accumulates in the liver. In your body, the liver is the second largest organ. It filters harmful substances from your blood and helps in processing nutrients from food and drinks. There are complications including liver scarring or liver fibrosis in some people with fatty liver. It is called cirrhosis when the liver fibrosis becomes severe.
Your doctor will see your medical history, conduct a physical exam and ask you to go for one or more tests to diagnose fatty liver. You can go to a pathology lab in Hooghly for these tests. The doctor diagnoses fatty liver disease after finding elevated liver enzymes from blood test results. For checking your liver enzymes, the doctor can suggest the alanine aminotransferase test (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase test (AST). It indicates liver inflammation when there are elevated liver enzymes and it can mean fatty liver disease. You may have to go for additional tests, which can help your doctor to identify the cause of the inflammation if you test positive for elevated liver enzymes. Some other tests are imaging studies and liver biopsy.

Viral Fever
The normal body temperature of a person is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit (37 degrees Celsius). It is a fever when the body temperature rises above that. It indicates that your body is fighting off some type of bacterial or viral infection. When the cause of the fever is an underlying viral illness, the doctor calls it a viral fever. From the common cold to the flu, a variety of viral infections can affect humans. The symptom of many viral infections is a low-grade fever. There can be a higher fever in case of some viral infections such as dengue fever. You should consult a specialist at a doctor clinic in Hooghly if you are suffering from viral fever.
An infection with a virus is the cause of viral fever. The viruses infect and multiply within the cells of your body. Chills, headache, sweating, muscle aches, loss of appetite and a feeling of weakness are a few symptoms of viral fever. The diagnosis of viral fevers is done through blood tests and the tests of other bodily fluids.

Bronchitis
When there is an infection in your bronchial tubes, which carry air to the lungs, and they become swollen, that condition is bronchitis. You will have a continuous cough and a lot more mucus than in normal cold. There are normally two types of bronchitis:
Acute Bronchitis. This is more commonly seen. For a few weeks, the symptoms last and after that, there are normally no problems.
Chronic Bronchitis. It is more serious in nature and doesn’t go away at all or keeps coming back. It is often a major cause of the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
There are different symptoms of bronchitis including congestion in the chest, a continuous cough along with lots of mucus, breathing distress and a wheezing or whistling sound while breathing. If you have one or more of these symptoms, you should consult a specialist at the doctor chamber in Uttarpara. Based on a physical exam and your symptoms, the doctor will be able to confirm the presence of bronchitis. The doctor will suggest medicines according to the type of bronchitis you have.

Some Tests for Liver Cancer
There are different tests for the diagnosis of liver cancer. Some of them are:
Blood Tests
During routine blood tests, the diagnosis of liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) is not possible. For its diagnosis, there is one specific blood test, which measures the levels of the protein alpha-fetoprotein in serum (AFP).
Ultrasound Scan
If a doctor suspects liver cancer, he/she will suggest you go for an ultrasound scan. You can go to the pathology lab in Uttarpara for this test as there are experienced technicians there.
Computerised Tomography (CT) Scans
If a technician carries out CT scans with an enhancing contrast agent, they can give accurate results. The reason for this is that the agent improves the imaging of the arterial and venous systems. This test helps in getting images of more areas of the body.
Liver Biopsy
It is only possible to tell the difference between malignant and benign growth by examining it. The pathologist examines a sample of tissue from the growth under a microscope and keeps a record of the results.

Allergy Tests
An abnormal immune system response occurring as a result of exposure to certain substances (allergens) is known as an allergy. There are serious respiratory problems that can develop due to allergies. These include sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, asthma and a life-threatening condition called anaphylaxis. In order to determine the cause of allergic reactions, the pathologist performs different allergy tests. The doctor can develop the treatment plan by seeing the test results. You can contact the diagnostic centre in Uttarpara for these tests. Some of them are:
Skin Tests. They often prove useful in diagnosing allergies. The time taken by these tests is about 30 minutes. The skin tests are of two types, prick tests and intradermal tests.
Patch Tests. For the diagnosis of contact dermatitis, these tests are useful. The pathologist places a small amount of allergen on the skin and checks the reaction after 48 – 72 hours. A rash or even blisters develop on the skin of the patients who are allergic to the substance.
Blood Tests. The pathologist takes a blood sample and adds an allergen to the sample. Then he/she measures the amount of immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies in response to the allergen.
