Understanding TW-COVID-19 Basic Care Package (Blood Test)
What is TW-COVID-19 Basic Care Package (Blood Test)?
TW-COVID-19 Basic Care Package (Blood Test) is for people who have been diagnosed with COVID-19 infection. It is extremely crucial to get tested for various markers at regular intervals during the infection and recovery phase of COVID-19 infection. This package comprises of several tests which help to assess various risks associated with the progression of COVID-19 infection. It includes a complete blood count, glucose-random, hs CRP, ferritin, D-Dimer, and lactate dehydrogenase tests. These tests can aid in mitigating the acute consequences of COVID-19 infection and help in preventing various other long-term complications.

What does TW-COVID-19 Basic Care Package (Blood Test) measure?
Contains 6 tests
D-Dimer
A D-Dimer test measures the amount of D-dimer protein your body produces when a blood clot begins to break down. It is a byproduct of the blood clotting and clot break-down process that can be measured by analyzing a blood sample. D-dimer is typically undetectable in the blood and is produced only after a clot has formed and is broken down.

Lactate Dehyderogenase, Serum
Serum Ferritin
A Serum Ferritin test measures the concentration of ferritin in the blood. Ferritin is a protein found in cells, particularly in the liver, spleen, and bone marrow, that stores iron in a soluble or nontoxic form. When the body needs iron for essential functions like producing red blood cells and carrying oxygen, it releases iron from ferritin into the blood.
A Serum Ferritin test provides valuable information about the body's iron storage levels. Low ferritin levels may indicate iron deficiency, a condition where the body lacks enough iron to function properly. In contrast, elevated ferritin levels can indicate iron overload, a condition known as hemochromatosis. Iron overload can lead to organ damage if not adequately managed, making early detection crucial.
A Serum Ferritin test is a critical tool for assessing iron status, diagnosing iron deficiency anemia, monitoring treatment progress, detecting other iron-related disorders, and maintaining overall health.

RBS (Random Blood Sugar)
An RBS (Random Blood Sugar) test is done to measure the levels of glucose at any time of the day. This test provides a speedy diagnosis of diabetes. It is also helpful in identifying diabetic patients who require a supplementary dose of insulin in case of an emergency.

hsCRP (High Sensitive CRP)
An hsCRP (High Sensitive CRP) test is a state-of-the-art biochemical marker to predict potential risks of future diseases. This test is more sensitive than the standard CRP test and can also detect lower CRP levels in the blood. Its accuracy in predicting cardiovascular issues, autoimmune disorders, and other health issues makes it an excellent test to detect asymptomatic conditions with limited diagnosis.
