    What is a Dengue Screening ?

    The Dengue Screening Package consists of a set of diagnostic tests designed to detect and monitor dengue fever, a viral disease spread by mosquitoes. Dengue typically starts with symptoms similar to flu such as high fever, severe headaches, and joint pain, but in some cases, it can progress to more severe conditions. The package includes a Dengue Profile test, which uses enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to detect NS1 antigen and IgM and IgG antibodies in your blood, helping to confirm if you have the virus. This is especially important in regions with a high prevalence of dengue fever. Additionally, the package features a Complete Blood Count (CBC) test, which checks different blood components, including platelets. Since dengue can lower platelet levels, the CBC test, together with the Dengue Profile, helps assess the phase of the infection and the need for medical intervention. The package also includes Liver Function Tests (LFTs) to evaluate liver health, as dengue can affect liver function, leading to changes in enzyme levels or, in severe cases, liver damage. These tests provide a thorough evaluation for diagnosing and managing dengue fever.

    If you're in Delhi, you can conveniently book the Dengue Screening Package at home, with service available throughout the city.

    Dengue Screening Parameters

    Complete Blood Count (CBC)

    A Complete blood count (CBC) test is a very common test which screens for the disorders which can affect the health. Complete blood count evaluates if there is any normal or abnormal in the blood cells counts. The normal range will vary depending of the age and the gender. The Laboratory report will give you the normal range as per the age and gender. A complete blood count can help to detect a broad and conditions, from anaemia and infection to cancer and other disorders.

    Liver Function Test (LFT)

    Liver function is also called as liver profile or liver panel that measures different types of enzymes, proteins and other by products that are made by the liver. These tests analyses the levels of overall health of the liver. The liver performing its normal functions of producing protein and clearing bilirubin, a blood waste product.
    The liver panel test consists of:
    • Aspartate aminotransferase (AST): AST is an enzyme in your liver. High blood levels could be a sign of damage or disease.
    • Alanine aminotransferase (ALT): ALT is another enzyme that helps break down proteins and is found mainly in your liver. High levels in your blood could mean you have liver damage.
    • Alkaline phosphatase (ALP): ALP is an enzyme in your liver, bile ducts, and bones. You might have high values if you have liver damage or disease, and a blocked bile duct, or bone disease.
    • Bilirubin Total/Direct/ Indirect: Your body makes bilirubin when it breaks down red blood cells. Usually, your liver cleans up the bilirubin in your body. If you have high levels of a problem called jaundice, you may have liver damage.
    • Albumin: Albumin is a protein made by the liver that prevents the fluid from leaking out of the bloodstream.
    • Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT): High levels of the GGT enzyme could point to liver or bile duct damage.
    • Total protein: This analyses the sum of two kinds of protein in the blood known as albumin and globulin. The test may analyse the relative levels of albumin and globulin, which is reported as the A/G ratio.
    • Globulins: Globulins are a class of proteins in the blood.
