DYSPNOEA, (SHORTNESS OF BREATH) PANEL
DYSPNOEA, (SHORTNESS OF BREATH) PANEL
We recommend this test to our patients who often get out of breath from even minimal physical activity and find it difficult to breathe, are overweight, smoke, or have a family history of diseases.
The dyspnoea (shortness of breath) panel includes the following tests:
- fasting sugar concentration: blood sugar
- kidney function parameters: urea, uric acid, creatinine, total, direct bilirubin
- amount of intra- and extra-cellular ions: sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, magnesium
- the functioning of liver enzymes: GOT, GPT, Gamma-GT, alkaline phosphatase, LDH
- the amount of CK (creatine kinase) produced mainly in skeletal muscle
- the presence of CK-MB, an enzyme suitable for detecting heart muscle damage
- the process of the body’s blood clotting mechanism: D-dimer
- the level of a protein important in striated and cardiac muscle contraction: Cardiac troponin T
- a test to determine the severity of heart failure, which measures the brain natriuretic concentration of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) or the N-terminal prohormone: NT-pro BNP
Things to do before sampling:
The test must be performed on an empty stomach, which means that it is not recommended to eat in the 12 hours before the blood test. Drinking water is allowed.
