Rapid Diagnostic Tools: How a Single Drop of Blood Can Save a Life
Modern medicine offers rapid diagnostics that can provide critical information about a patient’s health within just a few minutes.
⚙️ What is rapid diagnostic testing?
These are diagnostic methods that use a minimal amount of biological material (blood, urine) to deliver results in just a few minutes.
🩸 Examples of Rapid Tests
CRP Test – measures C-reactive protein levels to help distinguish between bacterial and viral infections
D-dimer – helps detect the risk of thrombosis, used when deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism is suspected
Blood Glucose – measures blood sugar levels quickly
Tests for Streptococcus, Influenza, COVID-19 – allow fast detection of infectious diseases
Note: D-dimer is useful in diagnosing DVT, pulmonary embolism (PE), and DIC syndrome.
